A Car to Take You Far    WebQuest

Introduction

People use cars every day. You or your friends have a car. In this project, you will learn the parts of cars. You will talk about cars with others.

Task

In this project, you will do many things. You will work in class and on the Internet. Here are the things that you will do.

1. You will name the parts of cars in pictures.
2. You will complete sentences using car vocabulary.
3. You will talk with a friend about cars.
4. You will record the conversation.
5. You will dictate sentences and write sentences that you hear.

Process

These are the steps you will use.

1. Go to http://www.languageguide.org/im/car/eng/. Move the computer mouse around the page. Move the mouse into each of the circles. When you do, a voice will tell you the name of the car part connected to the circle. Repeat the words you hear. Next look at Handout 1 while listening to the words again. As you hear each word, locate it on Handout 1. Next, close your eyes and visualize the written word. Write the word yourself on the handout as you say the word slowly.
2. Next, go to Handout 2A and Handout 2B. On the handouts, label the car parts. Find the words from Handout 1, and make sure to write them correctly in the boxes.
3. Create a concentration game using pictures and the names of car parts. Your teacher will show you how. Play the game with other students or with your family.
4. Open Handout 3. Complete the sentences about someone’s car.
5. Click on the headphone pictures to hear a conversation. Listen to the conversation. Use Handout 4 to read the conversation.

6. Memorize the conversation. Practice the conversation with another student or your teacher. Exchange parts in the conversation. Each person should have a chance to say each part.
7. Record the conversation when you are ready. Your teacher will show you how.

8.                  Write Part I of the conversation putting the verbs in the past tense. Change the other words as you need to (Example: I'm taking a trip next month with my family changes to I took a trip last month with my family.) Check your changes.

9.                  Dictate the conversation to a partner. Check your writing.

10.               Work with a partner. Write a new conversation using your words and using verbs in the past tense. Call it Conversation II.

 NOTE: Use the Rubrics pages to check your progress.

Materials

Metals come from rocks called ores.

They are strong, hard and shiny materials that can be hammered into different shapes without breaking.

Many metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.

Some metals are magnetic. Iron is the most magnetic metal. Steel is also magnetic because it is made of mostly iron.

Their properties make them useful for objects such as cutlery, saucepans, cars and coins.

Plastics are materials made from chemicals and are not found in nature. They are strong and waterproof, and can be made into any shape by applying heat. Plastics can also be dyed different colours or made to be transparent.

Plastic is not magnetic. It is a good electrical insulator as it does not conduct heat or electricity.

Plastics are used to make all sorts of things, such as bags, bottles and toys.

Glass is made by melting sand and other minerals together at very high temperatures.

Glass is normally transparent and can be made into many different shapes. Thick glass can be strong, but thin glass will break very easily.

Glass is used for objects that need to be transparent such as windows and spectacles.

Wood comes from trees. It is strong, flexible and long lasting.

Wood is used to make things such as furniture that need to be strong and last a long time.

Wood is an insulator of heat and electricity.

Fabrics are made from thin fibres woven together.

·         Some fabrics, such as wool, cotton and silk, are natural (the fibres come from living things).

·         Some fabrics, such as polyester and nylons are made from synthetic fibres, which are made in factories, from chemicals.

Different fabrics have different properties. Fabrics can be stretchy (a pair of tights),insulating (keep you warm, like a woollen coat) or absorbent (a towel).

Fabrics are used to make clothes as they are flexible and comfortable, can be warm and do not wear out easily.

Material properties

Materials have different properties that make them useful for different jobs. Here are some properties that materials have.

Transparent or opaque

Transparent materials do let light through (you can see through them). Opaque materials do not let any light through (you cannot see through them).

Waterproof

Waterproof materials do not let water through and do not soak up water.

Absorbant

Absorbent materials soak up water and let water pass through them.

Strong or weak

Strong materials are very difficult to break. Weak materials break easily.

Flexible

Flexible materials are easy to bend.

Rigid

Rigid materials are difficult to bend.

Hard

Hard materials are difficult to scratch.

Magnetic

Magnetic materials are attracted to magnets.

Conductors

Some materials are good conductors of heat. This means heat can travel through them easily.
Some materials are good conductors of electricity. This means electricity can travel through them easily.

Insulators

Some materials are insulators of heat. This means they do not allow heat to travel through them very easily. Some materials are insulators of electricity. This means that electricity cannot travel through them.

Forces in action

A game for you to play

Introduction

Forces are pushes or pulls. They are measured in newtons.

Unbalanced forces change the way something is moving.

The mass of an object is how much matter it contains. The weight of an object is the force caused by gravity pulling down on the mass.
