Ход урока
I
Учитель просит посмотреть учащихся на доску и прочитать слово ‘Eurika!’. Учитель спрашивает о происхождении этого слова. Учащиеся дают ответ.
УЧЕНИК 1 – слово произошло от древнегреческого ‘EURIKA’, что означает ‘I have found it!’ Архимед сделал открытие, принимая ванну: на всякое тело , погруженное в жидкость действует выталкивающая сила, направленная вверх и равная весу вытесненной им жидкости.
Archimedes principle – a scientific rule which says that an object placed in water will be affected by a force pushing upwards that is equal to the weight of the water moved by the object.
T – ‘This example shows that some inventions can be made unexpectedly, just by chance or because of someone’s mistake. Can you give some examples proving the idea?
P1 – Yes. As I remember Dmitry Mendeleyev saw the table of chemical elements in his dream and then he wrote it.
P2 – There is such a legend that Isaac Newton discovered the law of gravity with the help of an apple. One day he was sitting in the garden under an apple tree and when an apple fell down and hit his head, he began thinking about the reason of the apple falling.
II
T – Look at the table. You can see a bowl covered with a napkin. Guess what is inside it. Ask me some questions about it.
P1 – What size is it?
T – It can be either small or large. P2 – What colour is it.T – It can be green, yellow, red.P3 – Is it eatable?T – Yes, it is. And it is very tasty.
P4 – Is it a fruit or a vegetable?
T – It’s a fruit.
P5 – “Is it an apple?
T – Yes, my congratulations! And it has helped to make a discovery – the law of universal gravity as you have said.
III
Разделить детей на три группы. Каждому ученику дается лист с задниями.
T – Work in groups. Put the following in order from the most useful (1) to the least useful (7): bubble gum, the theory of relativity, the printing press, corn flakes, the hula hoop, tea, the opener.
Pupils are given 3 minutes. After completing the task they give their answers and explain why they have put the inventions in this or that order.
T – Group1; Group2; Group3.
IV
T – Match the inventions above to these inventors:
Will Keith Kellogg, Emperor Shen Nung, Albert Einstein, Walter E. Diemer, Ezra Warner, Johann Gutenberg , Richard P Knerr.
Pupils use their knowledge they got at the lessons of physics, history, geography and ability to think logically. They work in groups. The teacher asks the groups’ ideas in 2-3 minutes. Pupils use the phrases: “I think”, “I’m sure”, “I’m not quite sure, but I think”.

T – Will Keith Kellogg – corn flakes
Emperor Shen Nung – tea
Albert Einstein – the theory of relativity
Walter E. Diemer – bubble gum
Ezra Warner – the can opener
Johann Gutenberg – the printing press
Richard P Knerr – the hula hoop
VI
T – Continue working. Say ‘how’ these inventions help us. The teacher gives 10 minutes for this work. Pupils work individually.
- Inventions help us live healthier and longer:
- Inventions help us communicate with one another
- Inventions make our life easier
- Inventions help entertain us
- Inventions take us from one place to another

Thank you. As you can see, people have invented a lot of useful things to make our life more comfortable and interesting. But all the inventions you mentioned before were made by men. Do you know anything about women-inventors?
Pupil’s answers. I’ve heard about Maria Curie. She was a physicist and chemist famous for her work on radioactivity. …
T: Unfortunately, most of us know very little about women inventors. But women inventors are the creators of a variety of inventions that we all take for granted. For instance here are some of the inventions women are responsible for: the Zig Zag sewing machine and correction fluid, flat-bottom paper grocery bags and Kevlar that’s used in body armor, Anti-Leukemia drugs and signal flares used by ships.
VIII
T: Thank you. And now let’s do an exercise on word formation. By the way, you’ll learn about another famous woman Lillian Gilbreth. For questions 1-7 read the text. Use the words in capitals to form new words that fit in the same numbered space in the text.
