    Ptolemy lived in Greece in 140 AD and incorrectly believed the Earth was the center of the universe. Copernicus lived in Poland in the early 1500s and proposed that the Sun, not the Earth, is at the center of the planetary system. Galileo, from Italy in the 1600s, invented the telescope and discovered four moons orbiting Jupiter, providing evidence against the Ptolemaic geocentric model of the universe. The timeline assignment requires including these six scientists, where they lived, and their discoveries, with appropriate spacing of dates. Including a few additional astronomical discoveries can result in a higher grade.

    Chapter2, Section 1

    Make a timeline that includes important facts from chapter 2, section 1. Six scientists are discussed in the chapter. You
    must include all six on your timeline. Include where they lived and what their discoveries/theories were. Be sure to space
    the dates appropriately on the timeline. For a higher grade, include other important astronomical discoveries that you
    find on your own (just a few will do). This assignment may be done on a strip of poster paper or on MS Powerpoint.

    Grading will be based on appearance, accuracy, and thoroughness.
