背景信息:

    这首歌是美国情景喜剧《生活大爆炸》(The Big Bang Theory)的主题曲。剧中的四个男主角都是物理学家、科学家,所以它的剧情常穿插化学、生物、物理等学科知识的普及。这首歌的歌词里面也涵盖了生物、地理、历史等学科知识的内容。

教学建议:

1)授课时可以用这首歌来介绍关于历史、物理、生物、地理等学习科目的内容,基本上每一句歌词和图片都可以延伸一些跟学习科目有关的知识。比如The autotrophs began to drool这句提到了自养生物,可以跟生物学科联系起来进行知识补充,丰富学生的文化底蕴和知识储备。教师也可以根据歌词里面提到的内容让学生猜是属于什么学科的,然后引入到学习科目 (School subjects) 的主题上。

2)这首歌里面有很多跟学科有关的英文单词,可以丰富学生的词汇量,积累关于学科内容的表达。同时,可以推荐学生利用《生活大爆炸》这个美剧进行英语学习。
