Newton’s Third Lab and Momentum Test

Begin New Unit:

Discuss the history of the model of the universe:

Ptolemy and Copernicus

Homework

Research in any way that works best for you:

1. Copernicus and describe and draw his model of the solar system. Be very specific!

2. Find out how Galileo helped in promoting Copernicus’ ideas. Discuss what Galileo did, specifically, what kind of evidence did he discover that supported Copernicus’ model.

This must be handwritten (no copying off the internet). Half a page minimum for each question. Feel free to add more content if you find this interesting and really get into it!
