What do you think?
-
How many joint discoveries or inventions can you name?
-
Who made them? Did they find any application?
-
Which would you prefer: working in collaboration with other scientists and making a joint discovery or competing with others and working on your own? Why? Give reasons.
Get real |
Search the Internet or look in popular science magazines and books for the information about an accidental or joint discovery or invention made before the 20th century. Report your findings to the class. Follow the outline below:
-
discovery or invention
-
discoverer(s) or inventor(s)
-
circumstances
Speaking |
Work in teams. Hold a “balloon debate”. Each team chooses the name of the inventor or discoverer they have learnt about. Explain why his/her invention or discovery is so important that the inventor or discoverer should be the last one left in the falling balloon, while the others jump out to save him/her.
Tool box: Agreeing and disagreeing |
|
Opinions |
I think (that)… In my opinion… As for me… |
Agreeing |
Absolutely; Right / That right; I agree/ You’re right
|
Disagreeing |
I know, but… I take/see your point, but… I’m not sure… That’s not true… |
Writing |
A competition was announced at your department to write a short article for the university newspaper on the subject: “Great Events in Science.” Your task is to focus on inventions and discoveries made before the 20th century. Choose to write about a scientist who you think made the most significant contribution to the development of your field of science or science in general.
Write an article of about 150 words. Make use of the texts about Lomonosov, Pascal and Edison as a model. Follow the guidelines:
-
give the article a title
-
introduce the subject
-
give some factual information
-
give your opinion and some supporting information

Words like volt and watt have become part of our language, e.g. a volt is the unit of electrical potential, or difference in electrical pressure, expressing the difference between two electrical charges.
A watt is a unit of electrical power. However, we sometimes forget that these are the names of famous scientists. A volt is named after Alessandro Volta (1745-1827), the Italian physicist. A watt is named after James Watt (1736-1819), the English inventor of a steam engine.
Do you know what these terms mean and who they are named after?
