In Along Came Galileo, Bendick gives a biographical account of Galileo Galilei's life from the time of his birth to the time of his death. At the end of each chapter is a quote from Galileo. One difference between Along Came Galileo and Archimedes and the Door of Science is the experiments. Archimedes had experiments built in. Galileo did not.
Overall, I thought Bendick's book was an enjoyable read. Galileo asked questions and found answers to many scientific issues. He was not only a scientist, but an inventor, astronomer, and author that was ahead of his time.
Below are some notebooking pages the kids completed throughout our reading...
Do you make a lot of your own note booking pages? We're getting ready to read Along Came Galileo and I'm googling for inspiration. (Although I'm a frequent flyer on your blog.) :) Your notebooking is so inspiring. I attempted Apologia this year for the second time. Still hate it. We used Outdoor Secrets last year...and now I'm trying to save us from Apologia. We're also reading Among the Night People.
