This timeline is to be used in conjunction with Beautiful Feet's History of Science. The chart chronicles 21 major events in science history, including the accomplishments of Pythagoras, Eratosthenes, Archimedes, and Einstein. The timeline consists of two strips of blank cardstock, pre-folded for easy storage when not in use. The timeline figures are printed on sheets of art-quality paper. You can assemble the timeline as an art project, coloring the figures with artist quality colored pencils and laminating the final product for permanent display. Select either a single or two-student kit. ~Ruth
Publisher's Description of History of Science Timeline
This time line goes back to the ancient world of Pythagoras, Aristotle and Archimedes, to the medieval world of Copernicus and Galileo, up to the modern world of Edison and Einstein. With a total of twenty-one illustrations many of the world's most notable scientists will be brought to life for your student. All the figures are dated with a brief explanation concerning the discoveries of each individual. Your student will more fully appreciate the progress of science through the centuries.
With their dated illustrations of significant events and individuals, students cut and color the detailed drawings and paste them on two 6" x 34" card-stock strips which are scored and able to fold for convenient storage in the student notebook. Many students will mount their completed time lines on the wall. They stretch to nearly six feet in length!
