science concepts thal are covered but not know how to cxprcss Lhcm in English.Thc locus of the book, however, is always on languagc falher than scicucc, andthcrc is no altempl to cover any scientific topic thoroughly. No prcvious scicnccknowledge is needed by the teacher or student.

ORGANIZATION OF THE TEXT

Thcrc arc lwclvc chaplcrs in thc book. Each chapter has six mair scclions:Introduct ion, using Engl ish to. . . (ctassi fy, conpare, and so on), Rcading Ski l ls,Listeni lg Ski l ls, Discussion PoinN, and wri t ing Ski l ls.

Itltroduction

Each chapter begins by intrcducing rhe rhetorical funclion, rclating it o thcscientific method, aDd preseDting it ir a short readiDg.

Usi g Engl ish to, . ,

This section begins wilh aD cxplanalion oflhc rhctorical Iunction, usitU cxamdcsfrom the shor! reading. In most chapicrs thc cxplanalion is folbwed by a cha11 ofscntcnce palterns thal show how the function may be cxprcsscd, This chafl is notmeant to list all possiblc patterns, and in somc chaptcN lbc chart is omitled becausefie topics do not lcnd thcmsclvcs 10 any parricular synlaclic structure. Thc Dcxlitem in thc section is a group of praclicc cxcraiscs, sequcnced 1() cnablc studcnlsIo progress frcm idcntifying the funclion to usir)g it, Grammalical slrllclures lhatoccur frequenlly in science lexls arc also includcd in this seclkD whcn they scrvea communicativc purposc rclatcd to lhc rhclorical lilnction.

Reading skitls

This secdon lirsr prcscnrs sraLcgics lor srudenls to use in expanding lhcir vo-cabularics on an ongoing basis. word roots and affixes inlroduccd arc thosc com-monly occurring in scientific terminology (for examplc, hjdro , dyna ). Next, rhesection previews the vocabulary from thc long rcading. Thc obiect is 1() develop abasic vocabulary lhat wolrld be assumed a! the college'eniry 1cvcl. Accordingly,words sclecred forstudy are scien.e-related terms that would bc known to a native-spcakjng, firs!-year college student (for example , fammable, dehydrate , transparent ,comb stion, dilute, ir?e/lia). No specialized or rare words arc used in any of thercadings or lectures.

The conccpl ofatoms firn emerged in ancienl Greece. In 400 R.c. thc philon)pher

Dcmocritus theorized thal maucrcould be dividcd inlo smallcrand smaller l)a rlicles

until a point \aas reached beyond which no furthcr subdivision was possiblc. Thcse

indestructiblc particles wcre called alonror, a Grcck word mcanirg irdivisiblc Weknow taday that atoms are so small fia1il would takc nore lhan a million oflhcnlto equal the thickn€ss of this s!,c-c1-q1!qP-er' Dcmocritus' thcory, howevcr, was

not universally accepted in lhe ancient world, for many bclieved in Arislollc'slh€ory thal matter is composcd offour elcmcnls: earth, lirc, air, and rvatcr.

During the Middle Agcs in Europe, thc concept oI atoms was collsi(lcrcd l(x)abstrac! a nd was acco rd ingly rejeclcd. Fina Uy, in I 804 lhc Englishnan Joh n Da ko nformulated aD atomic theory bascd on his experimcnlation. Hc clainled ftal allmatter is made of atomsi lhal all arcms of a single elcmcnt havc lhc samc shafe,size, wcighl, alld behaviori and that aloms ofeach e]cmcnt are diffcrcnl ftom lhoscof any other elemcnt, He said that aloms are nol crcaled or dcslroycd Lrut rathcrform new combinations in chemical reacli(,ls.

INTRODUCTION

When a scient ist discovcrs a rclal ionship that scems to hold l ruc wi lhoutexception, he or she formlllatcs a hjpathctis, A hypolhcsis is a rcnLative ortemporary solut ion to a scient i f ic problcm or an cxplanat ion for why somelhinghappens. Ahhough a hypothesis usual ly devclops from the intuiLion of thcscient ist , i t is based on obseryat ions or facts. For cxamDlc, Charlrs Darwin'shypothesis about evolut ion came 10 him whi lc hc was r iding in a carr iage (hcwrote/ / / I can rcmcmber the very spot in thc road"), bul Lhc idea was the prcduclof many years of study and experimen(al ion.

A hypothesis does not always prove 1o be corrccl, and it may have to berejecled allogether or at least reviscd. Progrcss involves conlinually refininghypotheses as new information comes 1() l ighl . For cxample, s ince no one hasever seen the structurc of an atom, scienl is ls cont inual ly rcvise thcir hypolhesisabout what i t looks l ikc.

As evidence is gathcrcd to suppon a hypolhesis and i ! bccomes accepred inthe scientific world, it is referred to as a llreory (lbr cxamplc, rhc rheory ofrelat iv i ty). When a theory cxplains or uni f ies a grca! dcal ol in lbrmatirnr, i lbecomes known as a pri tltiple, ot ilduttdl ldty ltor example, Archimedcs' principleof waler displacement or the law of graviry).

A definilion answers the queslion, "what is i1?" sometimes a deliniiion isnecessary because a word or concept has more than one meaning. For example,wherhcr carbon is a mctal or nonmetal depends on how yoll deline carbon Aloiher t;mes, a definilion is required becalrsc a term is being uscd in a spe(ialway. For examplc, physicisis use thc lerms lL,otft and erfltu, in ways thal aremore specific than thei( common meanings. A dclinition should be completeenough !o include all thc items in the calegory yet narrow enough to eliminateirems that do not bclong. The Greek philosopher Plalo oncc defined man as atwo-lcgged crealurc that has no fealhcrs. His critic Diogencs lcfl the room andbrought back a bird withoul fealhcrs, declaring, "Herc is Plat()'s man!" Theproblem with Plato's def ini t ion was that i t d id no1 dist inguish a man I iomother twolegged creaturcs without feathers, Communicalion betwccn researchersis dcpendenl on pr€cise definilions of substan(es, conccpls, processes, andideas.

INTRODUCTION

After giving a definition or making any 8en€ral stat€mcnt, the bcst way loclartfy a potnt is to Sive an example of it. A chinese provcrb says that a picture

is woith-a tholsand words lt might also be said that one example is worth athousand explanations. An example brings the general or abstracl staterncntdown to a specific or concrete image For €xamplc, it is one thing to say thatsmoking is bad for your health and anothcr to say that a regular smoker-loscsabout fi-ve and a haliminutes oflife expeclancy fol cach cigarctte smoked Thcexample adds impact, making the statement more mcmorablc, more interesting'and more persuasive, as well as providing evidence for il'

Scientisis use examples to explain or clarify a conccpt and 10 give evidenceto suppo it, Exampl;s can somclimes se e to tes! the validity ofa point lf

no example can be found to illustrate a point, therc may not be a point

and Magcllan provcd it. But therc wcrc ancient Grceks who had known rhis rwothousand years earlicr. They saw ships desccnd ovcr rhe horizon and oblervcd lhecurved shadow ofthe canh on rhe moon during a Iunar eclipsc. Thcn, in 200 Lc.,thc Greek astroromer Eraloslhenes noted thal at noon on thc first day ol summcr,rir'hen thc sun was at its highcs!, ils rays shone ro rhc botlom of a veflical wcll irlSyene, Egypl. Ye1, on the same day in Alcxandria, five hundred milcs !o lhc norrh,il was reported that a vcrlical post cast a shado\'r'. If the earth had becn llal, thepost could not have casl a shadoyr' at roon,

The eallh spins, or rotatcs on its axis, orce every twcnly-four hours, callsing !rsto havc day and night. At any given lime, rhe side ol thc cardt facing fic s!D willhave daylight, aDd the sidc turDcd arr,/ay fron thc sun will havc nighl. Allhonghthe eanh is spinnirg at a spccd of over one lhousand milcs an hour, wc do nolfeel thc movcmcnt or thc wind bccausc everything around us, iDclllding tbc at-mosphere, is moving at thc same spced. The cffect is similarlo riding in aD airplaui.Thc air moves wjth you, lf you light a malch on aD airplanc, no wind will blowlt oul .
