Description
This biography of the 17th century scientist Gaileo Galilei focuses on his contributions to the field of astronomy. Based on his observations of the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter, Galileo insisted that the centuries-old geocentric model of the universe was wrong. For his theories, Galileo was placed under house arrest by the Catholic Church and forced to recant his observations.
The biography includes a series of questions based on the reading.
In using this in my own class room, students are encouraged to:
1. Number the paragraphs
2. Read the biography
3. Highlight answers in the reading
4. Use complete sentences
The answer key demonstrates these steps.
For those seeking distance learning options, the biography can be easily converted to a digital activity using Google Slides.
You can also purchase the biography as part of a general series I have posted on Amped Up Learning: Biographies in World History.
