Scientific Revolution

I really enjoyed the scientific revolution activity day in class. The lesson was set up in a great way to show us how we can incorporate science and social studies together. The activities were very engaging and hands-on, which students will love. One way that I could incorporate this science lesson with social studies is to have the students research the history behind each of the experiments we did in class. They could find out who tried those experiments first and how they recorded their findings. I think it would be a great way to teach students that many of the ideas we have today about the way things are stem from ideas people in history had. It is also a great way to show why recording data is important. If you want other people to hear your ideas and improve it is some way, it needs to be written down for them to see. I also think that you can study the origins of certain scientific ideas and have students study the cultures of those scientists. Overall, I see how easily science and social studies concepts can be interwoven in lessons.
