三、 讀繪本

閱讀竅門：

1，What is water ? 水是什麼呢？繪本中對水的形容很多，家長可以帶著孩子用思維導圖裡面的氣泡圖總結一下。

2，引導孩子思考我們身邊又有哪些東西是水呢？

3，地球上的水資源正在日趨枯竭，世界上的乾旱地區正在變得更加乾旱而且面積正在擴大。怎麼保護有限的水資源呢，引導孩子思考一下吧。

夏天的時候，大家最喜歡冰塊了，冰塊可以用來冷卻其他的東西，比如常溫的水，加些冰塊進去，就變成冰水。可樂裡放一些冰塊，就變成了冰可樂。這是因為冰塊吸收了其他東西的熱量，降低了溫度。圖上的小姑娘就在很開心地喝著冰水，旁邊還放著一大罐的冰水呢。水在什麼時候會變成冰呢？溫度低於零攝氏度時，水就變成了冰，因此冰又叫做水的固體形式。

Kid: I like ice water too, especially in the hot summer. I can drink up two bottles at a time after playing basketball with my friends.

思考

地球上的水資源正在日趨枯竭，世界上的乾旱地區正在變得更加乾旱而且面積正在擴大。怎麼保護有限的水資源，是每一個人，都應該思考的問題。

四、 玩繪本

1、水的循環：和孩子各種玩起來，科普啟蒙+英文啟蒙，孩子會愛不釋手。

關於水的形態，這樣和孩子一起畫出來~~

爸爸媽媽還可以和孩子一起，做一個水循環的可愛手工哦~

二、科學小實驗

水為什麼會變成ice，變成vapor？又是怎麼樣變成ice和vapor的呢？我們可以通過幾個小實驗來看看哦，小朋友們，見證奇蹟的時刻到啦！

（1）water——vapor

怎麼樣把水變成水蒸氣呢？很簡單，把水放在爐子上面加熱，等水燒沸騰了，就會冒出白色的水蒸氣哦，水蒸氣的溫度很高，所以呀，小耳朵們不能用手接近水壺哦。

（2）water——ice

把水變成冰那就更簡單啦，小朋友們可以自己來試一試哦，用紙杯裝一杯子水，放入冰箱，一天之後把杯子拿出來就可以看到一杯子冰了哦。

實驗中，小朋友們不要用玻璃杯哦，因為水在結冰的過程中，體積會變大，有可能會把玻璃杯子撐破哦。

五、

繪本拓展

事的深度閱讀和理解，這樣可以讓孩子深刻地理解故事，並通過觀看、聽說、理解、參與等多種方式提高英語聽說能力和情商素養，建立積極的價值觀等多重目的與效果。

水（Water）

水，在常溫常壓下為無色無味的透明液體，被稱為人類生命的源泉。

水是地球上最常見的物質之一，是包括無機化合、人類在內所有生命生存的重要資源，也是生物體最重要的組成部分。水在生命演化中起到了重要作用。

凝視我，守護我，我是生命之源——水

水是生命之源，它不僅承載了地球上豐富的生物多樣性，而且是食物、健康以及能源的基礎。然而，由於水資源的過度消耗、殘留物的汙染、氣候變化等原因，全球的淡水系統正面臨前所未有的危機。

水為萬物之源，萬物之本。我們生活的每一刻都離不開水，正是因為有了珍貴的水資源，萬物才得以正常生長。

我們在生活中無時無刻不在接觸水，它是我們賴以生存的基礎。珍惜每一滴水，不要讓世界上最後第一水是我們自己的眼淚。
