Students hold different ideas about it.30% of us think space exploration is not worthwhile. They think space is too far away from us and our daily life and is a waste of money. And the money spent on space exploration can be used to solve the earth’s problems such as starvation and pollution.On the other hand，70% think space is worth exploring because we have benefited a lot from it，such as using satellites for communication and weather forecast. What’s more，with further space research，we may solve the population problem by moving to other planets one day. Also，space research will enable us to find new sources to solve the problem of energy shortages on the earth.As far as I am concerned, it is worthwhile to explore the space.

This happens because the dish soap molecules have a strong negative charge, and the milk molecules have a strong positive charge. Like magnets, these molecules are attracted to each other, and so they appear to move around on the plate, taking the food coloring with them, making it look like the colors are quickly moving to escape from the soap.Listening text:?

I especially liked an area of the museum called Light Games.it was really cool. They had a hall of mirrors where I could see myself reflected thousands of times!? Bill: A hall of mirrors can be a lot of fun. What else did they have?? Judy: Well, they had an experiment where we looked at a blue screen for a while, and then suddenly we could see tiny bright lights moving around on it. You'll never guess what those bright lights were!? Bill: Come on, tell me!? Judy: They were our own blood cells. For some reason, our eyes play tricks on us when we look at a blue screen, and we can see our own blood cells moving around like little lights! But there was another thing I liked better. I stood in front of a white light, and it cast different shadows of me in every color of the rainbow!? Bill: Oh, I wish I had been there. Tell me more!? Judy: Well, they had another area for sound. They had a giant piano keyboard that you could use your feet to play. But then, instead of playing the sounds of a piano, it played the voices of classical singers! Then they had a giant dish, and when you spoke into it, it reflected the sound back and made it louder. You could use it to speak in a whisper to someone 17 meters away.? Bill: It all sounds so cool. I wish I could have gone with you? Judy: I know, but we can go together this weekend. I'd love to go there again!? Bill: That sounds like a great idea!

The grammar of this unit is designed to review noun clauses. Sentences that use nouns in a sentence are called noun clauses. Nominal clauses can act as subject, object, predicate, appositive and other components in compound sentences. According to the above-mentioned different grammatical functions, nominal clauses are divided into subject clause, object clause, predicate clause and appositive clause. In this unit, we will review the three kinds of nominal clauses. Appositive clauses are not required to be mastered in the optional compulsory stage, so they are not involved.1.

感受生活中的法律 说课稿
一、教材分析《感受生活中的法律》是统编教材小学《道德与法治》六年级上册第一单元第1课，共有三个话题，本节课学习的是第一个话题《法律是什么》，主要是引导学生初步了解法律的概念，旨在引导学生通过身边熟悉的日常生活，感受法律无处不在。二、学情分析六年级的学生在五年的学习中，已经了解了《义务教育法》、《未成年人保护法》等法律，知道生活中有很多规范我们要遵守，生活中我们有权利，也有义务，但对于法律是什么还都不了解。因此，要通过有效的教学，帮助引导学生通过身边熟悉的日常生活，了解法律的概念。三、教学目标与重难点基于教材、学情的分析，以及对小学道德与法治课程的理解，我确定了本节课的教学目标与重难点。教学目标我确定了三个。1.感受日常生活与法律息息相关。2.了解法律规定了人们的权利与义务。3. 认识以法律为代表的社会规则。教学重点是：了解法律是什么。难点是：引导学生理解纪律、道德与法律的关系。
感受集体的力量-说课稿
尊敬的各位领导、老师们：大家好，我是铜钹山石人完小的大队辅导员xxx。今天我说课的课题是《感受集体的力量》、少先队活动课的目的在于通过形式多样的活动，培养少先队干部的自主能力，培养队员的参与意识，激发了先队员的昂扬向上的积极的精神和高尚的道德情操，同时丰富小学生文化活动，活跃校园文化氛围。那么，今天，我将从说设想、说设计、说辅导、说过程、说效果5个方面来说说我对这节少先队活动课的想法。一、 说设想本次说课的主题是少先队活动课指导纲要（试行）中的《感受集体的力量》一课的第一课时，授课中队是三（1）中队。本次说课是进行课后说课。主要是希望一通过本节课的活动，让学生体验到团结合作就是大家在互相信任、互相支持、互相配合、互相帮助中一起把事情做好。认识到团结合作在人际交往中的重要性。掌握一些与人合作的经验和方法。二在参与故事、游戏、讨论中，亲身感受团结合作带来的乐趣。三是在活动中收获团结合作带来成功的喜悦，并将这份喜悦与家人、伙伴分享。本着追求课堂中的新意美、活泼美、深度美、实效美和本质美五美开展活动。二、 说设计由于本课课题为《感受集体的力量》，因此，选用体验式少先队活动课，以树状分流式分队分工完成活动任务，最后，各分队汇总各类活动体验，达成力量共识。为保证活动有序开展，在活动授课前，教师需要准备麻绳、一次性筷子、课本剧剧本以及相关游戏细则。活动课第一环节表演课本剧《一箭断，十箭难折》，让学生直观感受团结的力量，激发队员兴趣，调动参与热情。第二环节“冲出包围圈”、第三环节是“两人三足”游戏，考验合作默契。最后，学生谈感受，说体会。辅导员总结。三、 说辅导队员是队活动的主题，活动参与，不落一人。发挥全体队员作用，以课本剧《一箭断，十箭难断》为载体，让学生们自己去排练，想想，十兄弟不团结的时候，会对各个亲兄弟做什么？团结之后呢？辅导员在这里不做明确的指示，只抛砖引玉，让学生自己去思考，用自己思考的结果来演绎这个课本剧。作为观众的学生，在观看完之后也可以就自己所见的，来谈谈自己的感受及启发。在之后的两个游戏中，因为我班的学生少，所以我做到了让每个学生都成为游戏参与者，让班上的每一个学生都参与其中，在条件允许的情况下，与其让学生看，让他们真正参与其中，才是对他们最好的辅导。参与游戏之后，不论是胜方还是败方，都会有最真实的感受，而让他们把这感受说出来，就是这节课的教学重点了！四、 说过程
国旗下的讲话演讲稿：感恩
这篇《国旗下的讲话演讲稿：感恩》，是特地，希望对大家有所帮助！同学们，大家好，今天我演讲的题目是《感恩》。中国有许多节日,这些年从国外也传来了许多节日,.在美国,每年的11月的第四个星期四是感恩节,那一天,无论天南地北的孩子都要赶回家;那一天,人们要感谢父母,师长,感谢社会,感谢生活;那一天,美国家庭要举行丰盛的感恩宴,不仅为自己,也为穷人,孤儿,流浪者们,让这些不幸的人们在感恩节里也得到一份人间的温暖.。其实对我们来说有没有感恩节并不重要,重要的是我们每个人是否有一颗感恩之心.有个年轻人，大学毕业后到一家条件非常好的合资企业应聘。招聘的考官问他的问题是：“请问你给你母亲洗过脚吗?”年轻人回答：“没有”。考官便说：“那我希望你下个礼拜再来面试，但有个条件，回去做一做”。年轻人回到家里，把面试的全过程详详细细地告诉了他的母亲。母亲为了能让孩子进入条件这样好的企业工作，成全了儿子的愿望，把自己的双腿伸进了儿子次给他端来洗脚水的脚盆里。当年轻人次摸到母亲那双象棒槌一样细细的腿时，眼泪忍不住流了下来……
