Eureka! That's it!

This is what Archimedes, the Greek mathematician, said when he discovered that the volume of an object can be calculated by the amount of water it displaces. How did he make this discovery? Well, he was getting into de bath and the bath was so full that the water overflowed.

In this post, you will be able to watch some videos from the Science Channel that you might find interesting. I'll also provide you with some exercises to revise the use of quantifiers. So, let's get down to work, shall we?

To start with, why don't you have a go at the Eureka quiz? It'll be fun.

Time for vocabulary practice. Go through these exercises and the reading and video exercises will be much easier. Promise!
Science and inventions
Numbers and maths

Before watching the video, you can have a look at the following link. Here you can find information about the big 100 discoveries of our time. You might find the top 10 accidental inventions worth reading too.

Now, it's time for video watching. You are all aware of the fact that the Internet is one of the greatest discoveries of our time. That's why I've chosen these videos about Web 2.0 and YouTube.
Enjoy!

If I haven't tired you out by now, you can do these grammar exercises about quantifiers. (And that's all for now. Promise)
Exercise 1
Exercise 2
Exercise 3
Exercise 4
Exercise 5: do and make

See you on Monday.
