Through thought provoking science and math explorations, students will experience customs, cultures, and contributions from many civilizations that have helped create our world. Using a CD they will explore a collection of Leonardo s art works and documents. They will observe his scientific experiments in action through drawings, animation and video. Students will use microscopes and hand held magnifying lenses to observe their own world and make careful journal entries as well as detailed drawings.
