Curriculum Standards
An engaged exploration of the "Galileo, the Medici and the Age of Astronomy" exhibit can support curriculum objectives at all grade levels in both science and social studies.
The National Science Education Standards emphasize themes related to Galileo and his conceptualization of the scientific process, particularly in the areas of Science as Inquiry, Physical Science, Earth and Space Science, Science and Technology, Science in Personal and Social Perspectives, and History and Nature of Science.
The content of the exhibit also aligns with the Nature of Science, Nature of Technology, Physical Setting, and Historical Perspectives Benchmarks for Science Literacy as defined by the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
The story of Galileo directly supports Theme VIII - Science, Technology, and Society of the National Social Studies Education Standards.
Be sure to consult the Educator's Guide for complete details about how the exhibit supports your curriculum. You'll also find activities, suggested books, and an exhibit overview to help you make the most of your visit.
The complete EDUCATOR'S GUIDE is available. The guide is presented as a pdf file.
