The Scientific Revolution PowerPoint Presentation

















We have launched a terrific web page featuring a Scientific Revolution PowerPoint Presentation. This PowerPoint is available in multiple formats. Also included are printable note-taking sheets for students to use in the classroom.



Galileo Galilei Image Gallery


We have launched a Galileo Galilei Image Gallery for those teachers and students studying the Scientific Revolution. Ever "read" a book by flipping through it and reading the picture captions? Then this is the portrait gallery for you! This is a 100% free educational image gallery of Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), the famous Italian astronomer. Galileo was convicted of heresy by the Inquisition for his advocation, among other things, of a heliocentric view of the universe. Galileo is known as the "father of modern physics."
