This was a great activity to get the kids to do some research and learn about the people of astronomy - they loved it! Will definitely do this again!

This was the perfect sub plan for my environmental science class. It kept them engaged all period, and offered us something interesting to talk about when I returned!

Description

Get your students engaged in learning about six key astronomers (Aristotle, Ptolemy, Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, and Newton) and their contributions to Astronomy.⭐
-------------------------------------------
Students will look over the "resumes" of all six scientists and choose the one they believe made the most important contributions. This is a great opportunity for students to demonstrate their ability to draw conclusions, formulate opinions, and write a persuasive "magazine article" about a historic scientist.
-------------------------------------------
This is a print and go lesson, with only a few minutes of prep time (printing and copying)!
