1 Level: 2º E.S.O. The Science Museum Grammar: Adjectives: use and sentence order. Comparative and superlative structures. Comparison of adverbs. Functions: Describing and comparing people and things. Vocabulary: Planets. Animals. Colours. Parts of the human head Phonetics: Pronunciation of -er endings. This unit introduces the main topic (science and the evolution of the human species) and revises the aforementioned structures by describing different things in a science museum. Remind your students to read the task before they attempt any exercise and tell them to revise the grammar and new words by using the glossary and help buttons when they need them. The structure of the unit is as follows: PART 1 - Adjective Games 1. Match colour and name: In this exercise, students must label the colours on the right dragging their names onto them. 2. Order the letters in adjectives: Next, students must tidy up the words to write the adjectives correctly. 3. Memory game: In this exercise, students must click on the squares and the pictures trying to match them in pairs playing the traditional memory game. 4. Order words in sentences with adjectives: Here students must drag the words into the right place so as to make a correct sentence. PART 2 - The Solar System 1. Read and hear about the Solar System and the planets: In the first two screens of this part, students read and listen to a short description of the solar system and each one of the planets in it. 2. Comprehension - True or False: Now students must decide if the sentences given are True or False according to the information from the previous screen. 3. Order words to form correct sentences: In this exercise, students must tidy up the words given to make a correct sentence. 4. Association: planet name: Students must join the names of the planets with their pictures with an arrow. Notice the arrows only stay if their choice is correct.
2 5. Write sentences with superlatives: Next, students must use the cues given to write superlative sentences. They are given a model sentence as guidance. 6. Game - Hangman: In this exercise, students must find the hidden word as in the traditional hangman game by clicking on the letter they think the missing words include. They have got seven chances. Every mistake is indicated by the hourglass. After seven mistakes, the hidden word will appear. PART 3 - Human Evolution 1. Read and hear about human evolution: First of all, students read and listen to the text about human evolution. 2. Complete sentences: Next, students must complete the sentences given about the differences between modern human beings and our ancestors. They must drag the appropriate comparative form of the adjectives given onto the corresponding sentence. 3. Make comparisons between different people: In this exercise, students must complete the sentences with the comparative forms of the adjectives in brackets. Please remind them to write the complete structure, including the particle than. The exercise consists of six sentences in three screens. 4. Phonetics - schwa: In this exercise, students must listen to the model pronunciation of the comparative forms of the adjectives shown on the left and then record their own pronunciation by clicking on the "record" button. Then they can listen to their recordings by clicking on the Play button and compare with the models. They can record themselves as many times as they need until they feel satisfied with their productions. PART 4 Break: Chatting about the family 1. Order paragraphs in a dialogue: Here, students must click on the audio icon, listen to the dialogue and number the sentences that make up the dialogue in the correct order. In order to do this, students must drag the numbers next to the corresponding sentence. 2. Comprehension - Multiple choice: Next, students must listen to the audio and click on the correct answer according to the information in the dialogue. 3. Write words that you hear in a dialogue: This is a gap filling exercise where they must listen to the dialogue again and type the words missing. 4. Record a dialogue: The last exercise of this part is a recording exercise. First students must choose to record the part of the boy or the girl. Then they can record their part (the text in brown) using the microphone icon. If they want to listen to their recording they can click on the Play button. When they have finished all three recordings, they can listen to the whole dialogue (with their voices) by clicking on Run all the dialogue. PART 5 - Animals 1. Read and hear about some animals: First, students listen to the information about different kinds of animals.
3 2. Association - animal and group: Here, they must join with an arrow the picture of the animal with the group it belongs to. 3. Comprehension - True or False: Now, students must decide if the sentences given are True or False. When they click on an answer they will get feedback. 4. Complete sentences with the appropriate word: This is a drag and drop exercise; students must decide the correct word to complete each sentence. 5. Write comparisons between animals: This is a writing exercise; students must type in comparative sentences following the example given and using the cues. 6. Write a description of an animal: This is a free writing exercise; students must write the description of an animal on the screen. When they have finished, they can either send the writing to their teacher by or print it. FINAL TEST The final test is a multiple choice exercise: only one of the three options is correct.

6 The Science Museum - Audio Scripts PART 2 - The Solar System 1. Read and hear about the Solar System and the planets: Screen 1: This is our Solar System. There is one star, the Sun, and there are nine planets moving around it. Five are rocky planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and Pluto. And five are gas planets and very big: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. There are also asteroids, comets and meteors. Screen 2: Mercury is a small planet without atmosphere. It is the nearest planet to the Sun. It is similar to our moon. Venus is the hottest planet because it has got many clouds that produce a greenhouse effect. It is very visible in the night sky and it looks like a brilliant blue-white star. The Earth is called the water planet because water covers 70% of the surface. It is the only planet capable of supporting the human race. It's got one moon. Mars is called the red planet because it looks red from Space. It's got the largest volcanic mountain in the Solar System, Mount Olympus. It's got two moons. Jupiter is the biggest planet in the Solar System. There are many storms all over the planet, the most famous is called the "Great Red Spot". It's got sixteen moons Saturn is the second biggest planet, similar to Jupiter. It's got bright rings made of rock and ice. It's got eighteen moons. One of them is Titan, the only moon to have an atmosphere. Uranus is quite a big planet. The colour we see is blue-green. It's got rings and fifteen moons. Neptune is a blue planet. There are many storms and hurricanes, as on Jupiter. It's got eight moons. Pluto is the ninth planet. It is the smallest, farthest and coldest planet orbiting the Sun. It's got one moon. PART 3 - Human Evolution 1. Read and hear about human evolution: Screen one: This exhibition uses skeletons and reconstructions to know our evolutionary path. Note the similarities and differences between various skulls. Modern humans are taller than old humans. We are also less robust in body form and skeleton. Screen two: The Homo Sapiens' skull is smaller and more compact than old humans', and the face is less elongated. The modern human s skull has a higher forehead, less brow-ridges and narrower teeth. Nowadays, we have larger brains than in the past. 4. Phonetics - schwa: taller / thinner / happier / more beautiful / larger
7 PART 4 Break: Chatting about the family 1. Order paragraphs in a dialogue: - This is a photograph of my family. This is my brother, David. He is two years older than I am. He is taller than I am, too. But I am better at football than he is and I can run faster than he does. - Do you swim quicker than your brother does? - Yes, I do - Do you dance better than he does? - Yes, I do, and I am more intelligent than he is! He gets lower exam grades than I do. And I am better at tennis and better at basketball than he is! - I think you are better at lying, too 3. Write words that you hear in a dialogue: - Have you got a photograph of your family? - No, not here. But I can tell you about them if you like. - Yes, please - Well. My brother's got brown hair and is thin. He is thinner than I am. And he is shorter than I am. But he's got longer hair than I have. My sister is shorter than my brother- she is the shortest in my family. And she's got the longest hair - Is her hair longer than your mother's hair? - Oh yes, my mother's got short hair- shorter than my sister's. My father is the tallest- he is taller than everyone. 4.

He is two years older than I am - Do you swim quicker than your brother does? - Yes, I do, and I am more intelligent than he is. - My sister is shorter than my brother- she is the shortest in my family. And she's got the longest hair - Is her hair longer than your mother's hair? - Oh yes, my mother's got short hair- shorter than my sister's. PART 5 - Animals 1. Read and hear about some animals: Introduction: Now, let's see the animals, the vertebrate animals. Look at fishes, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds and learn more about them. Screen one: The white shark is a voracious predator known to attack humans. It is sometimes considered the most dangerous shark in the world. It's about 5.5 metres long. It eats a variety of fish, including other sharks, sea lions, birds, sea turtles It lives in coastal waters, usually near the surface, in all the oceans. Screen two: The cheetah has got yellow fur with black spots. It is approximately 2 metres long (from head to tail) and 80 centimetres tall. It is carnivorous and eats other animals like antelopes
8 that hunt in early morning and late afternoon. It can run faster than many animals. It lives in Africa. Screen three: Hummingbirds are tiny coloured birds. They can fly right, left, up, down, backwards They flap their wings about 50 times a second. Their main diet is flower nectar but they also eat insects and pollen. The smallest bird in the world is a species of hummingbird, it's only 5 centimetres long. Screen four: Frogs are anywhere, from the desert to the Arctic. They are cold-blooded, meaning that their body temperatures change with the temperature of their surroundings; when temperatures drop, some frogs hibernate until spring. The longest frog jump on record was in a derby in South Africa, a jump of 10 metres. Screen five: The coral snake has a black head and red, black and yellow rings around its body. It's got bright colours that help it to survive: animals don't eat it because they think it is poisonous. It's more poisonous than many snakes. It's about one metre long. It lives in America.
