How are you doing with reading through the history of astronomy chapter in your textbook, as discussed in the
previous presentation? To reiterate the point made back then, we are not going to read the textbook in class--you are expected to have done the heavy lifting yourself and read the book on your own last weekend (ideally), and/or over the next weekend. And reflect on whether each astronomer would be considered a mover/disprover, and non-scientist/scientist.
In any case, let's have a picto-quiz on the seven astronomers and their contributions to the development of astronomy into the first science. This is not a substitute for reading the textbook, but is meant to stimulate discussion in class, and especially for you to diagnose your level of reading comprehension.
In this slide, think about which astronomer is alluded to here, and be able to explain who and why. Discuss what you see here with your neighbor--you have one minute--go! What was the big deal about an apple for this astronomer? What was this person's contribution to developing astronomy as the first science? Was this person a mover or disprover? A non-scientist or scientist?
Discuss what you see here with your neighbor--you have one minute--go! Who could have been considered a "heretic?" Was that a valid charge? What was this person's contribution to developing astronomy as the first science? Was this person a mover or disprover? A non-scientist or scientist?
Discuss what you see here with your neighbor--you have one minute--go! What are each of these celestial objects? Whose model is this? How do things move in this model? What was this person's contribution to developing astronomy as the first science? Was this person a mover or disprover? A non-scientist or scientist?
Discuss what you see here with your neighbor--you have one minute--go! Yeah--that nose thing. What was this person's contribution to developing astronomy as the first science? Was this person a mover or disprover? A non-scientist or scientist?
Discuss what you see here with your neighbor--you have one minute--go! What are each of these celestial objects? Whose model is this? How do things move in this model? What was this person's contribution to developing astronomy as the first science? Was this person a mover or disprover? A non-scientist or scientist? (Video link: "
_____’s Solar System.")
Discuss what you see here with your neighbor--you have one minute--go! What celestial body's phases are being shown here? What did these observations prove? What was this person's contribution to developing astronomy as the first science? Was this person a mover or disprover? A non-scientist or scientist?
Discuss what you see here with your neighbor--you have one minute--go! What is the importance of this shape? What do you notice about the placement of that "bright spot?" How do things move in this model? What was this person's contribution to developing astronomy as the first science? Was this person a mover or disprover? A non-scientist or scientist?
Discuss what you see here with your neighbor--you have one minute--go! Not the snarky sketch on the left; concentrate on the sketch on the right. Whose model is this? How do things move in this model? What was this person's contribution to developing astronomy as the first science? Was this person a mover or disprover? A non-scientist or scientist?
Discuss what you see here with your neighbor--you have one minute--go! No, not Diane Lane, but what is Diane Lane doing? (Anyone seen her lately in a Starbucks on the Central Coast?) What can be measured by this type of observation? What was this person's contribution to developing astronomy as the first science? Was this person a mover or disprover? A non-scientist or scientist?
Discuss what you see here with your neighbor--you have one minute--go! What is the importance of this shape, and the placement of the pins? How do things move in this model? What was this person's contribution to developing astronomy as the first science? Was this person a mover or disprover? A non-scientist or scientist? (Video link: "

Discuss what you see here with your neighbor--you have one minute--go! What observations are being recorded here? What did these observations prove (or were not able to prove)? What was this person's contribution to developing astronomy as the first science? Was this person a mover or disprover? A non-scientist or scientist?
Discuss what you see here with your neighbor--you have one minute--go! What principles are demonstrated here? What is the connection with the motion of planets? What was this person's contribution to developing astronomy as the first science? Was this person a mover or disprover? A non-scientist or scientist?
If these pictures are triggering all sorts of connections in your brain with the textbook material, that means something. If you just seem to be drawing a blank here, then that means something, too. In any case, go back and make more connections and read through the history of astronomy chapter (again). Good luck!
