Bonus Marks Assignment worth 15 marks
Assignment: Scientific Revolution Interview
During this period in time, scientists began to question accepted beliefs and make new theories based on experimentation. Such questioning led to the development of the "scientific method" which is still in use today.
You will be researching a scientist to learn about his accomplishments, contributions to society, and his life.
Please choose one of the following scientists:
• Copernicus
• Galileo
• Newton
• Johannes Kepler
• Bacon
• Descartes
• Harvey
• Janssen
• Robert Boyle
• Leeuwenkoek
• Joseph Priestly
• Celsius
• Otto van Guericke
• Fahrenheit
• Torricelli
• Paracelsus
• William Gilbert
• Christian Huygens
• Tycho Brahe
• Andreas Vesalius
• Edward Jenner
Pretend that your scientist is near the end of his life and he has just granted you an exclusive interview.
1. Use your textbook and internet articles to research your scientist.
2. Write 10 questions that you would like to ask your scientist. You must ask questions that give information about his life, but most questions should relate to the scientist's work, accomplishments and contributions. All questions must be open-ended (No close-ended questions please!).
Example: Can you tell me about an important document you have written? Or Can you tell me about one of your major scientific accomplishments?
3. Using Microsoft Word/Wordperfect, produce a document that clearly lists your interview question followed by the answers to your question. Use bold face or italics for your questions when you format, so that it is easy to distinguish the question from your answer.
