《二泉映月》教案
教材分析： 《二泉映月》是華彥鈞（阿炳）的代表作之一。原曲為二胡獨(dú)奏，經(jīng)吳祖強(qiáng)改編，使其成為一首弦樂合奏曲。華彥鈞（1893——1950）民間音樂家，又名阿炳，江蘇無錫人。其代表作品有：二胡曲《二泉映月》、《聽松》、《寒春風(fēng)曲》，琵琶曲《大浪淘沙》、《龍船》、《昭君出塞》。 《二泉映月》本為無標(biāo)題樂曲，此曲曲名由幾人即興而定。因此，在理解音樂上應(yīng)從樂曲本身的音樂表現(xiàn)著手，樂曲主題段落由三個樂句組成，樂曲后幾段，以第一樂段為基礎(chǔ)采用“換頭合尾”的變奏手法寫成。教學(xué)目標(biāo)： 1、欣賞《二泉映月》，了解相關(guān)文化及背景，體驗(yàn)、感受樂曲的音樂情緒及風(fēng)格。 2、通過課外搜集資料，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生處理信息的能力及提高主動參與學(xué)習(xí)的積極性。

1、認(rèn)真讀課文，邊讀邊想課文每個自然段都寫了什么，給課文劃分段落。2、學(xué)生交流段落劃分，說明分段理由。3、教師對照板書進(jìn)行小結(jié)：這篇課文思路特別明晰，作者開門見山提出自己的觀點(diǎn)，明確指出“真理誕生于一百個問號之后”這句話本身就是“真理”，然后概括地指出在千百年來的科學(xué)技術(shù)發(fā)展史上，那些定理、定律、學(xué)說都是在發(fā)現(xiàn)者、創(chuàng)造者解答了“一百個問號之后”才獲得的，由此引出科學(xué)發(fā)展史上的三個有代表性的確鑿事例，之后對三個典型事例作結(jié)，強(qiáng)調(diào)這三個事例“都是很平常的事情”，卻從中發(fā)現(xiàn)了真理，最后指出科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)的“偶然機(jī)遇”只能給有準(zhǔn)備的人，而不會給任何一個懶漢。
部編版小學(xué)語文四年級下冊第25課《兩個鐵球同時著地》優(yōu)秀教案范文
1、齊讀第三自然段。思考：亞里士多德講過什么話?伽利略對這話是怎么看的?（亞里士多德說過：“兩個鐵球，一個10磅重，一個1磅重，同時從高處落下來，10磅重的一定先著地，速度是1磅重的10倍。”伽利略對這話產(chǎn)生了懷疑）2、伽利略為什么懷疑亞里士多德說的話?他是怎么想的?（“他想：如果這句話是正確的，……這怎么解釋呢?”）3、伽利略的分析，是把亞里士多德的話當(dāng)作兩種假設(shè)，推出兩個結(jié)論。這兩個結(jié)論是什么?（①把一個10磅重，一個1磅重的兩個鐵球拴在一起，如果仍然看作是兩個球，落下的速度應(yīng)當(dāng)比原來10磅重的鐵球慢。②如果看做是一個整體，落下的速度，應(yīng)當(dāng)比原來10磅重的鐵球快）4.這兩個結(jié)果一樣嗎?是什么樣的結(jié)果?（不—樣，是相互矛盾的）5.根據(jù)同一句話，會推出兩個相互矛盾的結(jié)果，所以伽利略認(rèn)為這句話是靠不住的，值得懷疑。6，他打算怎么做?（用試驗(yàn)來證明不同重量鐵球落地的情況）

人音版小學(xué)音樂五年級上冊晨景說課稿
《晨景》是挪威作曲家格里格的代表作《第一組曲》中的第一首。描寫了當(dāng)主人公流浪到摩洛哥時，看見日出和清晨景色的一段音樂，體現(xiàn)了主人公對他的理想王國的幻想和向往。 我所面對的是小學(xué)五年級的學(xué)生，他們已經(jīng)具有了一定的音樂審美感知能力，對音樂的學(xué)習(xí)大多建立在興趣的基礎(chǔ)上。根據(jù)新課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的要求、現(xiàn)階段學(xué)生的特點(diǎn)以及我對教材的理解。我確定了以下三維目標(biāo)： 1、通過對《晨景》的欣賞學(xué)習(xí)，讓學(xué)生感受淳樸，具有牧歌風(fēng)格的音樂，激發(fā)學(xué)生對大自然的熱愛之情。 2、通過反復(fù)聆聽欣賞，使學(xué)生能夠哼唱樂曲主題旋律并了解每個樂段所描繪的內(nèi)容。 3、通過對比聆聽，使學(xué)生能夠分辨和了解主奏樂器的音色特點(diǎn)以及各樂段的情緒特點(diǎn)。

二、學(xué)習(xí)新知1.正方形的定義在這一環(huán)節(jié)中，學(xué)生很容易犯的一個錯誤就是條件重復(fù)。這時我會引導(dǎo)學(xué)生從畫圖入手，提示他們：你能不能減少條件畫出正方形呢？這一環(huán)節(jié)中我的觀點(diǎn)是正方形的定義不是唯一的。我們可以從不同的角度來總結(jié)，只要合理就加以肯定。比如當(dāng)學(xué)生總結(jié)出：四個角都是直角，四條邊都相等的四邊形是正方形。這時可以提醒學(xué)生是不是一定要四條邊都相等，減少邊的條數(shù)可以畫出來嗎？角的個數(shù)可以減少嗎？鼓勵學(xué)生動手試一試。通過動手畫圖可以很容易的得到正方形的一個定義：三個角都是直角，一組鄰邊都相等的四邊形是正方形。通過小組討論的形式來完成這一環(huán)節(jié)的設(shè)置。鼓勵學(xué)生利用現(xiàn)有的材料繼續(xù)構(gòu)造正方形。從另一個角度總結(jié)正方形的定義。
