Galileo Galilei: A Reader's Theater Script

Scientist, astronomer, physicist and mathematician, Galileo is considered the "father of modern science”. That title was first given to Galileo by another famous scientist named Albert Einstein. This Reader's Theater Script is part of my Ms. Bie Ografee Talk Show Series. Audience questioners ask guest, Galileo, all about his life. Additionally, there are comprehension questions and a Did You Know? fun facts. A teacher page has extension activities and the key.

Should you wish a version without the Teacher section, please email me and I will be happy to send that along to you. geshrwh@hotmail.com
