Famous Astronomer Wanted Poster (details attached below)
Friday: we

The world of Science is filled with individuals who have
made valuable contributions to the advancement of science and our understanding
of the world around us. In this project
for the term you will have the opportunity to research the contributions of one
of these famous scientists and turn that into a wanted poster. I will hand out to you a list of these
individuals and a brief synopsis of their contribution. Take some time to look at the list and do
some preliminary research to assure yourself that there is adequate material
from which you can draw your information.
By no means do I assume that the list is complete, so if there is
someone that you know of that is not on the list, just talk to me and I can
give you the go ahead. You will be
required to turn in a research sheet with your poster showing me the
information that you gathered. YOU NEED
TO BE VERY THOROUGH HERE!
You will find a list
to choose from at: http://cnr2.kent.edu/~manley/astronomers.html
