of the scientific method. As well as studying the phases of Venus and discovering the moons of Jupiter‚ Galileo studied one of the simplest break throughs to ever occur- the swinging pendulum. Legend has it that around 1583‚ during a service in the Pisa Cathedral‚ a swinging lamp caught Galileo’s attention. He timed its swings with the beat of his pulse. This was the only timing method back then because they didn’t have stop watches yet. Galileo observed that how long it took for the pendulum to swing

He gave important contributions to science‚ especially in the field of astronomy. With his telescope‚ he discovered the moon’s spherical shape and rough texture‚ Venus’ phases‚ and Jupiter’s moons that do not revolve around earth. All which contradicted Aristotle’s views. Born on February 15‚ 1564 in Pisa‚ Italy‚ Galileo was the first child of Vincenzo Galilei

century. Galileo has played a key role in philosophy and science. Because Galileo observed that space was much bigger than thought by astronomers before him‚ he is very important to modern science today. Galileo Galilei was born on February 15‚ 1564‚ in Pisa‚ Italy. Some important historical event that happened throughout his lifetime are in 1567 millions of Native Americans are killed by disease. In 1597‚ Shakespeare’s play‚ Romeo and Juliet is published. Finally‚ in 1636‚ Harvard University was founded

A good foundation is necessary to keep a building or structure standing tall and straight. If a foundation is to shallow the building or structure will lean or fall. An example of a bad foundation is the leaning tower of Pisa. The foundation was laid badly witch caused the tower to lean. Foundations are used to transfer some of the weight of a structure to the soil. There are two types of foundations engineers use‚ shallow and deep foundation. Shallow foundations are used for smaller buildings that

I’m looking forward to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa‚ it would be good to learn the history about it. Another place would be the Colosseum. The view from the Vesuvian Institute is beautiful with the water and buildings it’s the kind of site that makes you not want to leave. The center of town is a better view from the small streets‚ it’s more spaced out and there is a lot of things to observe. My confidence level at this time is high‚ I am more than ready to find my own way back it may take a little

resistance to motion. 3. How does mass affect the motion of an object? The greater the mass‚ the harder it is to speed up or slow down an object. 4. What finding(s) did Galileo uncover regarding falling objects? He conducted an experiment from the leaning tower of pisa (probably false)‚ with cannon balls‚ and dropped them and found out that even though objects could have different weights‚ they fall at the same speed. He also realized that air can affect the way an object falls‚
