Children will learn how Galileo's revolutionary discoveries and sometimes controversial theories changed his world and laid the groundwork for modern astronomy and physics. This book will inspire kids to be stargazers and future astronauts or scientists as they discover Galileo's life and work. Activities allow children to try some of his theories on their own, with experiments that include playing with gravity and motion, making a pendulum, observing the moon, and painting with light and shadow. Along with the scientific aspects of Galileo's life, his passion for music and art are discussed and exemplified by period engravings, maps, and prints. A time line, glossary, and listings of major science museums, planetariums, and web sites for further exploration complement this activity book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Panchyk\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eAmerican Folk Art for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWorld War II for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eArchaeology for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e, and the coauthor of \u003ci\u003eEngineering the City\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eBuzz Aldrin Ph.
