Curiosity moved Galileo to look around, explore what goes on in everyday things, go down dead ends, take risks, and discover new worlds. Develop your curiosity while exploring our everyday surroundings and his historical struggles. We will respond to themes
of space and motion in the observing, experimenting and understandings that wove through Galileo's multifaceted research.<o:p></o:p></div>

This seminar is for those who wonder about creativity in history, science, and learning. We will recreate Galileo's experimental and creative process for yourself while you reflect on the times and works of Galileo.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><st1:city w:st="on">Readings</st1:city><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and
museum visits will expose you to the thinking and apparatus of another era. We will use an historical observation or experiment as a jump-off for developing a personal, creative research project. You can also choose to participate in research that will improve
science education. Our study will emphasize the creativity, personal exploration, observation skills, and doubt that led to Galileo's contributions. As you experiment, like Galileo, you will keep a journal of your experiments, observations, and reflections
on your project. As a final exercise, you will write a brief reflective paper on your experiments and experiences as a learner.<o:p></o:p></div>

Provides perspective for thinking about the future through the study of historical physical science and historically significant experiments. Designed to build awareness of the unexpected through both observation of the sky and lab activities that focus on
light, electricity, and motion. Labs are complemented by museum and site visits; readings include accounts by Galileo, Archimedes, and other historical observers. Individual and team assignments provide opportunities to develop skills in observation, exploration,
and evaluation. You can also choose to participate in research that will improve science education. Students must keep an observing notebook and write a reflective paper; students taking the graduate version complete additional assignments.<o:p></o:p></div>
