Teaching Procedure:
Step1. Bring the teaching aids to the class. The teacher asks the students: What experiments can they do with the aids?
Let them do in front of the class. When they do it, describe it in English.
Do the others agree with their views? Why?
Step2. Read the text and let the students know about the experiment.
Step3. Close the books and write what the text is about. Write the main process and they can have a change if they think it is necessary. Then after they finish it, open their books and compare what they write with the text. Let’s see whose is the best.
Step4. Listen to the tape for several times until they can read it correctly and fluently.
Step5. Ask the students to find questions. Let’s have a discussion in class. Such as:

2.How much water do we fill in the jar?
3.How long does the candle burn?
4.What does the candle use to burn?
5.Can you explain the experiment in English? What’s your reason?
Step6. Come to “PROJECT”
Divide the class into groups of four or five. Let one group chooses an experiment to practice. Explain it in English as they are doing the experiment. Encourage them to use English as much as possible. The teacher helps them if they are in trouble.
If we can’t finish the experiment in this lesson, we can continue in next lesson. Remind the students to bring the things that they need. If they want to do more experiments that we learned or we don’t learn, they can bring everything they need to the class. The teacher should praise the group that does more experiments.
