6、NoNoBecause they were watered with boiled water which has no oxygen. Also, they were covered with oil which prevented oxygen getting to the seeds.Because they didnt get any water.

8、s are all on the bench.Choose someone from your group to go and get four dishes and four pieces of cloth, a dish of seeds, some tap water, some boiled water and some cooking oil. Look at the instructions on the board. Lets read through them.One: Put the pieces of cloth on the dishes and spread the s

9、eeds on the cloth. Label the dishes A to D.Two: Take Dish A and wet the cloth with tap water and place it in a well-aired warm spot so by the window over there would be fine.Three: Take Dish B, wet it with tap water and put it in the fridge.Four: Take Dish C and put it next to Dish A. Do not water i

10、t.Five: Take Dish D and water it with the boiled water. Then drop a small amount of oil onto the cloth and put it next to Dish C.Six: Leave them all for a few days. OK, now you can go ahead and set up the experiment.Part 2: Listen to the class discussing the results of the experiment. Students inclu

11、de Andrew (A), Rosemary (R) and Sandy(S). TH: Right, lets talk about whats happened in our experiment. What are the results? Andrew?A: The seeds in Dish A have started growing but none of the others have.TH: Good. Why do you think the seeds in Dish B didnt grow? Rosemary? R: Because it was too cold?

12、TH: Thats right. And what about Dish C?R: The seeds didnt get any water so they couldnt grow.TH: Yes. Now, Dish D is interesting. The seeds got both water and warmth so why didnt they grow? Any ideas? Andrew?A: Well, the seeds got boiled water.TH: So, whys that important? Anyone? Well, boiled water

13、has no oxygen in it and seeds need oxygen to grow. And What about the oil? Sandy?S: Wouldnt the oil make sure that no Oxygen could get to the seeds?TH: Excellent. Well done. So, whats our conclusion about three important conditions that a seed needs in order to start growing?S: That seeds need warmt

14、h, water and oxygen to grow.TH: Very good. Now I want you all to write up the experiment in your science notebook.Writing taskWhen writing an experiment report, you can ask questions about: the position of the headings, what the headings are, their order: how the items in the “materials” section are

15、 presented (as a list); what the “procedure” tells you (the steps you carry out to set up the experiment); the grammatical structures used for each section of the report.Outline Materials:ABCDAim: To find out three important conditions that seeds need in order to start growing.1. four dishes2. four

First, I put t

19、he four pieces of cloth on each dish, spread the seeds on the cloth and label the dishes A to D. Then I placed Dish A in a well-aired warm spot by the window, took Dish B and wet it with tap water and put it in the fridge, took Dish C and put it next to Dish A without watering it. Finally I watered

20、Dish D with the boiled water, dropped a small amount of cooking oil onto the seeds and put it next to Dish C. A few days later, I found that only Dish A grew. So I drew a conclusion that seeds need warmth, water and oxygen to grow. Discussion: Look at the pictures of a plant experiment. The pictures

21、 are in the correct order. Discuss with partners about the processes the plants go through. Report each picture one by one:Plant three beans in a pot, water them and leave them in a warm, light spot.Two small shoots appear. Cut the ends off a plastic bottle.Wrap the bottle in dark paper.Lay the bottle on its side in the pot and put some wet paper towel
