Day 1, 2, and 3
In Class:  How Scientific is YOUR Revolution?  Scientific Revolution Rankings Project -- Due by Day 3 all classes!

The following thinkers are considered some of the greatest minds of the Scientific Revolution. You are tasked with the following. Read the chapter and look at the lists of the top thinkers of the Scientific Revolution. Create a “rankings list” of the following people. The person who ranks #1 is the most important thinker of the Scientific Revolution who had the most important discoveries. The person who ranks at the bottom was still important, but their contributions/discoveries are the least important compared to the people on this list.

On a small poster (provided by the teacher) you will create this list and write a minimum three sentences explaining who the person is, what their contributions were to the Scientific Revolution, and why you ranked them in that particular spot on the list. You may write in the first person for this rankings list.

You must also have at least one picture/illustration/drawing for each of these thinkers. You can draw a picture of one of their theories. You can print a picture of the thinker. You can draw a picture of their invention/idea. You must simply have at least one picture/illustration/drawing for each thinker that relates to the the person. Color is nice, too!

-Johannes Kepler         -Isaac Newton         -Antoine van Leeuwenhoek

-Evangelista Torricelli      -Daniel Fahrenheit



Grading:  Each thinker is worth 5 points.  The 5 points are earned if you explain in minimum three sentences who the person is, what their contributions were, and why you ranked them on the particular spot.  The illustration/drawing/picture is also included in this.  Neatness is also included.
