Galileo, one of history's best-known scientists, is introduced in
this illuminating activity book. Children will learn how Galileo's
revolutionary discoveries and sometimes controversial theories
changed his world and laid the groundwork for modern astronomy and
physics. This book will inspire kids to be stargazers and future
astronauts or scientists as they discover Galileo's life and work.
Activities allow children to try some of his theories on their own,
with experiments that include playing with gravity and motion,
making a pendulum, observing the moon, and painting with light and
shadow. Along with the scientific aspects of Galileo's life, his
passion for music and art are discussed and exemplified by period
engravings, maps, and prints. A time line, glossary, and listings
of major science museums, planetariums, and web sites for further
exploration complement this activity book.
