Unit 5 Learning from Nature Understanding ideas 课件-2024-2025学年高中英语外研版（2019）选择性必修第三册

该高中英语课件围绕“自然对建筑的启发”展开，从南宁国际会展中心的讨论导入，通过活动1学习“荷花、白蚁丘、水藻”等主题词汇建立认知，再经活动2主旨匹配、活动3结构分析、活动4细节阅读（表格对比自然元素与建筑灵感），搭建从词汇识别到篇章理解的学习支架，帮助学生掌握文本核心内容。 其亮点在于以三个建筑案例为载体，融合任务型活动（角色扮演导游介绍、设计自然启发建筑），既提升语言能力（复述与表达），又培养思维品质（分析关联与创造设计），同时渗透文化意识（人与自然和谐共生）。实例丰富且贴近生活，学生能在实践中运用知识，教师可借助结构化活动高效教学，激发学生兴趣。

Unit 5 Learning from nature 1 Teaching objectives By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: 1.identify the features and sources of inspiration of three architecture; 2.summarize the main idea and structure by generalizing the text; 3.retell fluently by applying the words and expressions learnt form the text; 4.create a building by transferring what they have learnt from the passage and have a strong desire to learn from nature. 2 3 Nanning International Convention and Exhibition Center 南宁国际会展中心 01 Qingxiu District, Nanning City, Guangxi Location 02 The main building, Hibiscus Flower Hall, takes the city flower of Nanning, “Hibiscus flower” as the idea. The 12 petals symbolize the unity and friendship of the 12 major ethnic groups living in Guangxi.

Barcelona’s forest-like Sagrada Familia; (巴塞罗那） （圣家族大教堂） Beijing’s Water Cube 11 Activity 4—Read for details Para 3 ArtScience Museum, Singapore(新加坡艺术科学博物馆) Nature Architecture Inspiration Functions/Significance People whose interest is exploring the relationship between art and science will enjoy Singapore’s ArtScience Museum. The building was designed to show the connection between nature and the modern city environment in which it sits. Shaped to resemble a lotus flower, it appears to float above the waterfront promenade and the water that surrounds it. Its roof collects rainwater and channels it 35 metres down to a waterfall in the centre of the space. The water is then recycled through the building’s plumbing system. Visitors are often amazed to find themselves in an urban building that so truly captures the beauty of natural forms. lotus flower collect rainwater; recycle water; capture the beauty of natural forms 12 Activity 4—Read for details Para 4 The Eastgate Centre, Harare(哈拉雷东门大厦) Nature Architecture Inspiration Functions/Significance Harare’s Eastgate Centre is a superb example of biomimicry. To use biomimicry is to create structures based on natural forms and processes. Zimbabwean architect Mick Pearce was inspired to create the Centre while watching a nature documentary in which termites were constructing their nests. The insects built mounds covered in little holes designed to allow air to move freely in and out of the mounds. In a similar way, the Eastgate Centre has a “skin” covered in holes. During the day, warm air is drawn into the building through the holes, cooling as it reaches the middle of the building. At night, the heat absorbed by the wall during the day warms the cool air, creating a comfortable temperature inside. The design reduces the need for traditional air conditioning and heating systems, so the building uses less energy and costs less to run. termites allow air to move freely; create a comfortable temperature; use less energy During the day, warm air is drawn into the building through the holes, cooling as it reaches the middle of the building. At night, the heat absorbed by the wall during the day warms the cool air, creating a comfortable temperature inside. 13 Activity 4—Read for details Para 4 Special walls with holes Day Night Cool air warm air Warm air Cool air drawn warm During the day, warm air is drawn into the building through the holes, cooling as it reaches the middle of the building. At night, the heat absorbed by the wall during the day warms the cool air, creating a comfortable temperature inside. 14 Activity 4—Read for details Para 5 The Algae House, Hamburg(汉堡藻屋) Nature Architecture Inspiration Functions/Significance The world’s first algae-powered building is in Hamburg, Germany. The surface of the apartment building is covered in panels that contain algae. The algae are fed with liquid nutrients and carbon dioxide to encourage them to grow. In bright sunshine, they grow faster and provide shade. The panels also capture heat from the sun and convert it into energy that powers the building. And that’s not all – the algae inside the panels can be harvested and used to produce fuel. The building therefore not only responds to its environment and uses less energy, but also reduces damage to the environment by generating its own renewable energy. algae capture heat and convert into energy; produce fuel; use less energy and reduces damage to the enviroment 15 Activity 4—Read for details Nature Architecture Inspiration Para 3-5 shape structure biological feature 16 Activity 4—Read for details Para 6 Read paragraph 6 carefully, then answer the questions. Why should we get inspiration from nature? Because it enables us to live in closer harmony with our environment. To meet the needs of today while protecting the world of tomorrow may be a challenge, but even the simplest organism can help teach us how to achieve this.
