Question
A1. Simple Factual Activities:
Complete the following sentences using the information given in the passage:
(1) Faraday succeeded as head of the laboratory ______________________.
(2) ______________________ was Faraday's another revolutionary discovery.
In 1829, Davy died and Faraday succeeded him as head of the laboratory. He was free to pursue whatever he liked, and he made another revolutionary discovery. He noticed that if he moved a magnet, it could produce electrical current; thus he could now convert motion into electricity. This is how the electrical generator was born, something still used today to generate all kinds of power, like dynamos and other devices.
Faraday was now a legend. In 1840, he developed memory loss, which continued for the rest of his life. But the disease did not stop him. He persevered, starting a complicated experiment to prove that light was closely related to electricity and magnetism - a novel thought in those times.
Remember that piece of Bavarian glass Faraday had kept on his shelf ? He was determined to convert the reminder of his first major failure to an instrument of great success. He used the same glass now to show that in the presence of a magnet, light could be isolated into a single wave rather than spreading out randomly in all directions, a concept called polarization.
A2. Complex Factual Activity:
Write the idea behind an electrical generator.
A3. Activities based on Vocabulary:
Write from the passage all the words related to science:
A4. Activities based on Contextual Grammar:
Do as directed:
Frame wh-question to get the underlined part as answers:
(1) He used the same glass now.
(2) They found the strange object under a bench in the garden.
A5. Personal Response:
Do you agree with Faraday's following quotation? Explain with his own examples:
'In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure'.
