5、him for even suggesting such an idea(2) What was his theory about? (Para 1) All his mathematical calculations led to the same conclusion: that the earth was not the centre of the solar system. Only if you put the sun there did the movements of the other planets in the sky make sense.Why could he not

6、 tell about his theory? (Para 1)(3) What had the astronomers noticed in the sky? (Para 2) They had noticed that some planets in the sky seemed to stop, move backward and then go forward in a loop. Others appeared brighter at times and less bright at others.(4) When did Copernicus complete his theory

7、? (Para 3)Between 1510 and 1514 he worked on it, gradually improving his theory until he felt it was complete.(5) How did he explain changes in the movement of the planets and in the brightness of the stars? When did he publish his idea? (Para 4) He placed a fixed sun at the centre of the solar syst

He also suggested that the earth was spinning as it went round it and this explain changes in the movement of the planets and in the brightness of the stars. . He published it as he lay dying in 1543 (6) Why do people

9、think that there is a direct link between his ideas and the work of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking? (Para 5) Because his theory is now the base on which all our ideas of the universe are built. His theory replaced the Christian idea of gravity which said things fell to earth becau

As a scientist, one should be brave. But Copernicus was afraid o

18、f being attacked by the Christian Church. So he had hidden his theory for so many years. What do you think of this? Agree:1.He was cautious. if he had published his ideas, he would have been killed just as Bruno who was burned to death because his theory was against the Christian Church.2.Every time

19、 when a new idea appears, there are always rejections. Its normal. Scientists should have patience to spread their truth.3.It made no sense for him to publish his theory in a hurry.He was just cautious not coward. He should protect himself first. Disagree:1.Copernicus was very coward. He should spea

No matter how people oppose them, time will show if your ideas are right or wrong.Write a sho

21、rt letter asking Copernicus (not) to publish his ideas so everyone can read themPersuasive writing (Please refer to P8 Learning Tip)Now writing a short letter asking Copernicus to publish his ideas so everyone can read them.First you need to collect your ideas. For example:He believes his new theory

22、 is true.There are problems with the present theory.He has done many years of observations to prove his new theory is true.Science cant develop unless people publish their ideas.Time will show if his theory is true or not.Here is a plan:Beginning: Tell Copernicus who you are and why you want him to

23、publish his ideas.Paragraph 1: Reason 1 and evidence.Paragraph 2: Reason 2 and evidence.Summing up: Ask him to think again about publishing his ideas.One possible version:Dear Nicolaus Copernicus, I am a student studying astronomy and I would very much like to read your new theory about the solar sy

24、stem. I hope you will publish it for several reasons. I understand the problems with the present theory. The way the planets move is not what you would expect if the earth was the centre of the universe. It is also odd that the brightness of some stars seems to change. So I agree with you that we ne

25、ed a new theory. I know your observations have been very carefully carried out over many years. Now you must have the courage to publish them. Science can never advance unless people have the courage of their beliefs. I know you worry about what will happen if you publish your new theory. No matter

26、how people oppose it, time will show if your ideas are right or wrong. So I hope you will feel you can publish your new theory. Yours sincerely, Zhang Hua1.
