Description
by Richard Panchyk
This book makes it clear that while Galileo is best known as an astronomer, he was a genius who enjoyed science, mathematics, music, and art, and someone who sought the truth and believed there was no substitute for observation and experimentation. There are certainly some choice activities in this book that will not only get young students interested in the life of Galileo but also fan their interest in the sciences. Throughout the book there are illustrations of the people, places and things in Galileo's life, many of which are contemporary to his time. The back of the book includes several pages of Resources. There are lists of the Popes and Grand Dukes of Tuscany during Galileo's time, a Glossary of Key Terms, People and Places as well as a list of Galileo's key writings, along with some web sites specific to his life and works. Includes many drawings, photos, sidebars, and 25 activities.
