Activity 4. DISCUSSION: WHICH PRESENTATION TO CHOOSE?
Work in pairs.
Student 1
You are taking part in an International Summer Science School. Somewhere on the campus you see a Content Brief for a popular science presentation that is going to take place tomorrow (Card 1). The event looks interesting and you feel like attending it together with your friend.
- Tell your friend about the presentation you want to see. Feel free to add any details related to the topic of the presentation. Search the Internet for information if necessary.
- Listen about the presentation your friend wants to see.
- Try to convince your friend to go with you.
- Consider the idea of visiting both presentations if time permits.
- To conclude the conversation, you and your friend need to agree on one of the following:
- you both go to see the presentation described on your card;
- you both go to see the presentation described on your friend’s card;
- you and your friend go to see different presentations.
CARD 1
What? Popular Science Presentation
THE HUBBLE TELESCOPE AND SPACE EXPLORATION
Facts in brief: The famous telescope was named after astronomer Edwin Hubble. The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into space on 24th April 1990 from the Space Shuttle Discovery. Since that time it has released a lot of fantastically clear photos. The telescope is still in operation and works in low Earth orbit. The telescope provides data to reveal lots of mysteries of our solar system, and close and faraway galaxies. Astrophysicists also claim that Hubble’s information helps them to study the nature of black holes and to understand how they form.
Extras: Some fresh images sent by Hubble will be presented.
Where? Central Building, Floor 2, Hall 1
When? Saturday, 3rd July, 16.00–18.00

CARD 2
What? Popular Science Presentation
BLACK HOLES AND THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE
Facts in brief: The term “Black Hole” was suggested by physicist John Wheeler in 1967 and since that time it has been one of the most fascinating mysteries of the universe. At first, it was considered that black holes meant nothing at all, empty space. But now scientists are sure that the opposite is true — black holes are extremely massive and dense, with very strong gravitational effects. Even light cannot escape their powerful gravitational fields. It was Albert Einstein who predicted the discovery of black holes. Now, the leading physicists in the world, including Stephen Hawking, are studying them.
Extras: Some videos from a related lecture by Prof. Hawking will be presented.
Where? Central Building, Floor 2, Hall 4
When? Saturday, 3rd July, 16.00–18.00
Student 1: I’ve got some news for you. I want to go to the presentation about The Hubble Telescope and Space Exploration. It will be exciting! The Hubble Space Telescope has been sending amazing photos of space for many years, and I’ve always wanted to get a better idea of how it helps scientists study galaxies and black holes.
Student 2: That sounds interesting, but I’d like to attend the presentation about Black Holes and the Origin of the Universe. Black holes are one of the most fascinating mysteries of the universe, and Stephen Hawking’s videos will be shown there.
Student 1: What is more, the Hubble presentation will include some fresh images sent by the telescope. We can see real space photos and learn more about the solar system. I think it will be more visual and easier to understand.
Student 2: I’m in two minds. Both presentations sound great.
Student 1: We can visit both if time permits. My presentation is in Hall 1, and yours is in Hall 4. They are at the same time, so that may be difficult.
Student 2: OK, you’ve convinced me. Let’s go to the Hubble Telescope presentation together.
