Exploring Scientists and Discoveries Through Time

Science through the ages, where have we come from and where will we go next?

1. You are going to match up some information about scientists over the last 2000 years. 2. You will attempt to match the dates, locations and discoveries/research to the scientist.

Slides 4 and 5 the facts, dates and scientists are jumbled Slides 7 and 8 are the correct answers

300-400 BC Ancient Greece Rosalind Franklin Started classifying animals and plants. Came up with the concept of matter. Hippocrates Albert Einstein The father of medicine Studied the Human body and started developing medical ethics. Researched the structure of DNA. Was robbed of the Nobel Prize. 20th Century London 20th Century Germany Developed Quantum Theory, was a Nobel Prize winner - revolutionised atomic and sub-atomic Physics 300-400 BC Ancient Greece Max Planck Only person to win 2 Nobel Prizes (One in Chemistry and one in Physics). Died because of their discovery. Marie Curie 20th Century Poland 20th Century Germany Came up with the theory of relativity resolving ideas of Space, time and gravity.

1. Now we are going to place these scientists on a timeline and Analyse WHERE & WHEN this research was prominent in the world at various points in our history. Is there a pattern to time and location?

20th Century BC 0AD

Discussing the world around us Consider the economic, political and societal pressures in the world today. Will the world of science continue to be dominated by Europe and the USA? Where will the next hib of science be?
