"Plato is my friend,
Aristotle is my friend,
but my greatest friend is truth."
-Sir Isaac Newton
KNOW
Read one or more chapters from Principia Mathematica Volume I (click on the line at the bottom of the book to get to the page you're looking for)
Read about Galileo Galilei in Dr. Posin's Giants ch. 7
UNDERSTANDING
*Do both of these:
Teach us what you learned from the chapter in Principia using a method meaningful to you. Also, what is one question you had that we can all discuss together?
We learned about many of Galileo's discoveries in our reading. Teach us about one of them. Why did he need courage to continue in his work?
(Ideas for methods of teaching: artwork, poetry, dramatizations, experiments, dioramas, games, demonstrations, reports, visual explanations like posters or diagrams or dry erase board diagrams, etc.)
INTELLIGENCE
Galileo was called the "Father of the Scientific Method." Using the steps of the scientific method, conduct your own physics experiment. If it is something you can replicate in class, bring it and demonstrate. If not, document your steps and findings with words, pictures, or video so you can share your experience with us! How is courage important in your life?
