LEVEL 18 WORKBOOK STEP 1 SLIDE 3: Complete the sentences: 1. After World War I many German rocket scientists _____________________________________ 2. The Space Race _____________________________________________________________. 3. Sputnik I ___________________________________________________________________.

STEP 1 SLIDE 5: Write what Pam and Ruth say, then practice making the conversation. Brian: The Space Race changed the world forever, didn’t it? Ruth: __________________________________________________________________. Brian: At first it was like a war, without killing people. The Soviet Union wanted to show the world that they were the best, and that the Communist system was best for the people, and produced the best scientists. The Americans wanted to show the Soviets that they were the best. Because of the space race, amazing things were done. Pam: ___________________________________________________________________. Raymond: During the space race, the scientists learned how to put a satellite in orbit. Without the satellites, you wouldn’t be able to watch many of the television shows, and your cell phone wouldn’t work. Ruth: ___________________________________________________________________. Brian: Yes, most countries are using satellites for their telephone systems, as well as for cell phones. Without satellites, the Internet couldn’t exist. Pam: ___________________________________________________________________. Raymond: Because vehicles for space needed to be small and light, computers were changed to meet this need. Now, almost everything you use at home has a tiny microchip inside it to control how it works. This came from Space Race research. STEP 1 SLIDE 6: During the Space Race the scientists learned to make everything small and light, so that they could carry their equipment in the spacecraft. We now have tiny chips in many of our household appliances. Can you name ten things that you find in most households that contain chips? (HINT: Often the chips are in the clocks.) 1.__________________________________ 2.__________________________________ 3.__________________________________ 4.__________________________________
