Tape transcript:
Good evening. Welcome to our Science for Fun Program. This week, we’ve receives a lot of questions asking about life on the moon .
We’ve talked to some experts and this is what we’ve found out. There is no water or air on the moon. It is all silent because there is no air. Of course, there will be no music, no sounds. There are no rivers and lakes. At night, it is very cold. The temperature goes down to 151o C below zero. But during the day the temperature rises to 100o C above zero.
There are great round holes on the moon. They look like big lakes. They are called crater. There are more than 30,000 craters on the moon. There are also high mountains. The highest mountains on the moon are about 26,000feet or 8,000 meters high.
And here is something very interesting to know: on the moon you weigh one sixth of what you weigh on earth. If you weigh 50 kilos, on the moon you will weigh only a little more than 8 kilos. You will be able to jump very high, even higher than an Olympic Champion. You can take very long steps as well. And ….may be you won’t sleep very well because one day on the moon lasts for 2 weeks.
So, is there life no the moon ? I’ll leave the questions for you to answer yourself”.
Help students to show their ideas.
Discussion:
Give students the topic “What may there be on Mercury / on the moon / on Mars?”.
Ask students to write the dialogue in their notebooks.
