really at the center of the solar system.
This model is called Heliocentric model or Copernican
system,
after my name.
Nicholas Copernicus
This was used by Egyptians to help
infections heal properly.
Moldy bread
What happened to Science during the Dark Ages and why?
Science in the Dark Ages stalled. This stall was caused by the fall
of the Roman Empire, lack of money and resources.
Which is more dense, a ping pong ball or a lead sinker? How
do you know? (Think of our experiment).
A lead sinker is more dense than a ping pong ball. We know this
because the lead sinker sunk to the bottom of the jar and the
ping pong ball was on the top when the jar was shaken.
I was an Egyptian physician who learned about
the human body through mummification and medical procedures.
Imhotep
_I worked in the Physical sciences and
came up with inventions like the Screw which helped during
wartime, my face is on Fields metal for Mathematics
Archimedes
_______________This is made from a plant growing around the
Nile river, it was used to write on during Ancient Egyptian time.
Papyrus
What is a papyrus and why was it useful during the Egyptian
time in regards to science?
Papyrus was a writing material made from papyrus plant. It was
useful because it was used to write down medical records and procedures
What is a chemical reaction? (Use the definition)
A chemical reaction is when two or more substances combine to
make a new substance.
This plant was used by ancient Egyptians as a pain reliever
poppy
_________________built an early telescope from existing
military technology. I was banished under
house arrest because of my views on Heliocentric model.
Later, renounced my research out of fear of
the Catholic Church.
Galelio
I founded “Kepler’s 3 Laws of Planetary
Motion”.
.How do atoms move in warm and cold temperatures? What
experiment demonstrated this? (Think food coloring)
Johannas Kepler
In warm temperatures, atoms move around quickly. In cold
conditions, the atoms stay closer together. We did this with food
coloring and warm and cold water.
Who came up with the theory of Spontaneous Generation?
b. Was the theory of Spontaneous Generation correct or incorrect?
c.Why did this belief last so long?
Aristotle came up with the theory of Spontaneous Generation.
No, the theory of Spontaneous Generation was not correct.
This belief lasted so long
This lasted so long because Aristotle was so respected .
What happened when we placed tarnished pennies into a
lemon? What does lemon juice have that made this experiment
work?
The tarnished pennies appeared more shiny. The acid in the
lemon juice broke down the oxidation(tarnish).
I came up with the incorrect theory of Spontaneous
Generation after observing met and maggots
Aristotle
I compared atoms and matter to sand on the beach
Democritus
___________I wrote the 3 volume set of books called
Principia which laid out the Three laws of motion.
Sir Isaac Newton
Name three scientific discoveries during ancient Egyptian
time (3000BC)-2056BC
1.Poppy plant
2.mummification
3.moldy bread-penicillium
What effect did Charles Darwin’s book The Origin of Species,
have on Science?
The book Origin of Species, introduced the theory of Evolution. It
also sparked other scientists to look at science without a creator.
I predicted/named the first solar eclipse
Thales
_I proposed that the solar system has the earth
at the center. This is called Geocentrism or Ptolemaic
system after my name.
Ptolemy
______________I wrote a book called Origin of
Species, which proposed evolution versus Creation as the Origin of life.
I also showed “Immutability of the Species” to be incorrect.
Charles Darwin
What were the Alchemists, of the Dark Ages, trying to
accomplish?
Were the Alchemists successful?
The Alchemists were trying to mix substances to create gold.
No, the Alcemists were not successful.
What experiment did we do to demonstrate a chemical
reaction?(think lemons)
We placed tarnished pennies into lemons. The acid from lemon
juice removed the tarnish.
