Students will have an opportunity to select the individual whom they prefer to study. It is hoped that there will be a distribution of students in each of the seven areas. Attached are the student choice sheets and the list of names from which groups may begin their research. Each student will choose the name of a Greek scientist or mathematician to research for a science report. Those scientists chosen are listed above in groups.
Students are to use the bibliographic form which appears in the front of their Student Organizer .
In the Computer Room, we shall have the opportunity to conduct research using a variety of encyclopedias, video discs, an on-line resources. Further, we shall use library resources for our research. Students will be asked to copy graphics, to locate pictures of inventions, and to find out as much as they can about their science or mathematical field and to put this information together as a reflection of the status of science and mathematics in Ancient Greece. This information will then be presented to their classmates, in the form of any visuals they may have created, during the Olympic Games we shall celebrate at the end of the unit. An oral presentation by the group to the class.
