Physics

Scientific paper

After years of discussing Galileo using secondary sources, I decided to have my students use Galileo's writings as a primary source of information in their lab reports. The advancements of Google Books and the internet has made it possible for all students to read Aristotle, Galileo, and Newton when exploring the nature of free fall kinematics. I will present links and suggested passages from several sources including Galileo's Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences.
