Rank the Scientists from Least Influential to Most

Influential1. You will need a pencil.2. With your group decide which

scientist had the greatest impact on science today.

3. Share with the class as asked by Ellie, Lisa, or Jason.

Paper Plate AssignmentWHAT YOU WILL NEED: WHAT YOU WILL DO:

1 Paper Plate Pencil Colored Pencils or

Crayons Scientists Handout Protractor Calculator

Using the handout about the 5 scientists we have studied from the Scientific Revolution order them from least influential to most influential by numbering them 1-5.

Decide how much influence (in percentages) each scientist had on the Renaissance and today.

Create a pie chart. • Divide the pie chart into 5 sections of

varying sizes to represent the percentage of influence each scientist had on the Renaissance.

Write a paragraph that explains who you picked as the most influential scientist and explain how his discoveries still impact us today. In other words give evidence that shows the scientist’s impact on today’s world.

Paper Plate AssignmentBACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE WHAT YOU WILL DO:

You have learned how to create pie charts (circle graphs) in your Science class. I expect you to use those skills while you are in this class.

To the right is a review of what you learned in science about making pie charts (circle graphs).

Turn your percent into a decimal. (50% =.50;

75% = .75) Take the decimal and

multiply it by 360 to get a degree ( .50 * 360 = 180 ;

.07 * 360 = 25 ) All degrees should add

up to 360. Use your protractor!

is labeled with one scientist’s name and their percentage of influence

___/15 Paragraph is typed on the back of the paper plate and includes evidence.

PROJECT GRADE

Staple the rubric to the front of your paper plate.

Turn paper plates in.

Would you classify this era as a turning point in history? Why, or why not?

1. Based on the weekend’s homework & today’s lesson, in at least two detailed (2) paragraphs, students are asked to assess this era in terms of being classified as a turning point in history. Whatever conclusion you arrive at (turning point, or not), all asked to write using specific words, phrases, individuals, creations/inventions, etc., in determining an outcome either way.

2. Lastly, be sure to carefully read Ch. 16.2.
