Ход урока

1. Вступительная часть.

1. Организационный момент. Приветствие

Today we are having an unusual lesson – it’ll be like a space trip. Are you ready? Look at the picture and tell me, who’s he? It’s Yuriy Gagarin, and his famous words “Let’s go!”.

1. Объявление цели и задач урока.

The topic of the lesson is "Space exploration”. We've got much work to do today. We'll remember some facts from the history of space exploration, you'll tell us what you know about planets of Solar System, you are going to do some exercises and of course we'll learn much interesting about Russian scientists and astronauts.

1. Основной этап.

1. Снятие лексических трудностей – видеословарь по теме урока с контролем запоминания нового материала (Приложение 1).
2. Мотивация учебно-познавательной деятельности – просмотр видео с опорой на изученную ранее лексику «ASTRONAUTS – THE LIMITLESS SPACE» (Приложение 2).
3. Введение нового материала «Кто такие космонавты» (Приложение 3).

 

1. Контроль усвоения новых знаний. Работа с Worksheet (Приложение 4)

	Find definitions of the words.   spacecraft to stay on the surface and not sink crew to work to keep sth running properly operate an accurate copy of sth replica a rocket that can travel in space find out to learn something new float people who work on and operate the spacecraft
	Put the lines of the dialogue in the correct order. I think it must be very exciting but a little bit scary. I would like to know how it feels like to be weightless because there is no gravity. I would also like to see what the Earth looks like from space. Well, I think it would be amazing to see the Sun and the Moon and may be even go to Mars one day. How was your visit to the Space Museum? What do you think it is like to travel into space? What else would you like to see in space? Hi, Anton! Where have you been? Oh, it was fantastic! I went into a machine that makes you feel like you are really in space. I’ve been to the Space Museum near Moscow with my class.
	Choose the appropriate heading to each passage 1) Astronauts Need to Rest, Too! 2) Let’s Get Busy! 3) Good Morning! a) Every day aboard a spacecraft is different in many ways, but the crew is always busy on a mission in orbit. Every morning, Mission Control wakes the crew up with music at exactly 6:41 pm CST (Central Standard Time – that’s the same time that people in Chicago use). The pieces of music are always different. (1) ______ For example, they might wake up to a traditional Japanese song one day, and a new American rock song the next! After that, they have a couple of hours to wash, have breakfast and get the morning messages from Mission Control. Washing isn’t easy in space, and it’s impossible to have a shower, so the crew wash themselves with a wet sponge. Shaving is also a difficult task up there, so the men have to use special space razors. b) At around 8:45 pm CST, the crew starts work. Most of the time they work on projects involving satellites and the spacecraft itself. They also take photos of their activities and the view from the spacecraft to send home. Each day there are also two six-hour space walks. So they have to work very closely and help each other. The crew take a short break for lunch during the afternoon. (2) ______ According to NASA, the crew’s special meals are “tasty and very good for them”. After lunch, they go back to work until around 8:45 am CST. c) Fortunately, it’s not all work and no play aboard the spacecraft. (3) _____ Most of them read and send personal e-mails in this free time, but they also like to read books or listen to music. Sometimes they sit by the window and admire the Earth and the stars. After that, at exactly 10:41 am CST, it’s time for the crew to go to bed, while Mission Control and the spacecraft’s computers take over for the “night”.
	Read the text again and fill in the gaps with the sentences below.   In the evening they all have a couple of hours to have dinner and relax. For example, they might wake up to a traditional Japanese song one day, and a new American rock song the next! They need a lot of energy, so they eat a lot of food.
	Choose the correct word. John plays different parts/pieces of music on his morning radio show. Washing is difficult work/task in space. Our department usually works on several different projects /works at the same time. Grandpa spends hours admiring/looking the view from his bedroom window. We work during the day, then the night staff takes up/takes over for the night.
	Find the best preposition in the phrases. in /on / at orbit on/ in / for a mission wake sb up / to work on / at / for projects go back to / for/ at work sit by/ on / for the window according of /to/ for NASA take over at / for/ to the night
	Complete the sentences. • orbit • space agency • spacecraft • crew The_________ of the ship welcomed the passengers aboard. The __________is going to send tourists to the Moon. Valentina Tereshkova became the fifth Russian cosmonaut to _______the Earth. The ___________weighs 8.5 tonnes and could land anywhere.

 

5. Развитие навыков поискового чтения «Famous Russian Astronauts».

Read the information and do the tasks:

1) Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky – the founder of astronautics in Russia, put forward several ideas about space travel. Tsiolkovsky’s idea of spaceship was based on the use of liquid fuels. His calculations were used in modern theory of cosmonautics and practical space travel.

2) Sergei Pavlovich Korolyov- is a famous scientist and founder of practical cosmonautics. He was the chief constructor of the first Earth sputniks and spaceships. Then followed rockets to the Moon, Mars,Venus.

3) The space age began on October 4, 1957. On that day, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite to circle the earth. Its capsule weighing 83.6 kilograms went into Earth orbit carrying a radio transmitter whose “bleeps” (pips) were received on the ground.

4) Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, a Soviet air force pilot, was the first human to travel in space. The Soviet cosmonaut circled the earth on April 12, 1961. From blastoff to landing, his trip around the earth lasted 1hour and 48 minutes. The news about space flight of the Soviet cosmonaut immediately flew over the world.

5) Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman-cosmonaut in the world. From June 16 until June 19, during a group flight with V.Bykovsky, the spaceship “Vostok-6” piloted by Tereshkova made in 70 hours and 41 minutes 48 circuits around the earth, covering a distance of about 2 million kilometers.

When she was in space, she was there together with her “space-brother” Valery Bykovsky.

This was another great achievement – launching two spaceships at the same time.

6) In 1965 the cosmonaut Alexei Leonov went outside wearing a space suit connected to the capsule by a line which also carried his oxygen supply, becoming the first person to “walk” in space. From the first experiments scientists went over to systematic exploration of space.

7) The gravity of Earth continually pulls on our bodies to give us weight. But if you are in a lift that is speeding downwards, you feel lighter. This effect is exaggerated in a spacecraft: as it is falling in a gravitational field, the astronauts inside it are falling at the same rate and become weightless.

6. Alexei Leonov went outside wearing a space suit connected to the capsule by a line which also carried his oxygen supply, becoming the first person to “walk” in space.
