  1. History & Nature of Science • SWBAT: Identify how diverse people (past & present) have made important contributions to scientific innovations. (AZ Sci. Stds: S2.C1.P1) Astronomers Research and Electronic Presentation Project

  2. Astronomers • We are going to be researching four important Astronomers: • Percival Lowell • Nicholaus Copernicus • Edwin Hubble • Galileo Galilei

Other interesting information. • What did this person discover, design, and/or contribute to the field of Astronomy or Science in general?

  5. Research: • Where did they live? & When were they alive? • (Who did they work with? Did they collaborate or base their theories on other Astronomers’ work?) • Were they interested in Astronomy? What motivated their work? • How did they make their contribution? Did they design, observe, calculate or all of the above to arrive at their discovery?

  6. Presentation Preparation • Story board your ideas (use paper to layout your slides) • Sketch what you want your slide to look like. • Where is the text going and where are the pictures? • What is the purpose of the slide? • Stick to one idea per slide • 1-2 supporting images on each slide • Reference information should be at the bottom of each slide.
