The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for The Scientific Revolution:
Overview In this experience, students refine their ideas of what science is and how it works. Next, they study the lives and achievements of great scientists of the Scientific Revolution, including Copernicus, Galileo, and Isaac Newton. Then they investigate what the scientific method is and how the Scientific Revolution helped bring it about. Finally, they give their own views of the scientists they have studied, by rating them in importance. Objectives
Look around you, and you’ll see science everywhere—in the device on which you are doing this lesson, for example. The history of science is an important part of history in general. In this experience, you will learn how modern science developed in Europe during the Renaissance, the period after the Middle Ages.
