LI: To use smart searching skills to find out about a scientist from the past who made an important contribution to their field of science.
This week as an activity for distance learning in reading, name and I worked together to create a DLO on researching a famous physicist. We chose to learn about Galileo Galilei because his name sounded most interesting and we’ve never heard of him before. We’ve included some things that he is recognised for, some of his biography, and his life/childhood growing up. Something we found new was that he had the intentions of becoming a priest and studied camaldolese. Camaldolese is the Congregation of Monk Hermits of Camaldoli. Something we found interesting was he that he discovered the four moons on Jupiter. We enjoyed this activity as we never knew who Galileo Galilei was and what his professions were.
Hi Victoria, Galileo sure was a very interesting man. I have learnt so much reading your blog post. I wonder if he would of found some cures for some diseases if he had of studied medicine. Keep up all the good work you are doing.

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your DLO about Galileo Galilei. I agree that his name does sound very interesting. As most people know of Galileo for his Astronomy discoveries, I was interested to learn that he wanted to become a Priest. I didn't know the meaning of Camaldolese so well done for explaining the meaning in your blurb.
Great Job
