This posting will be up for the next TWO weeks (possibly 3). Click on the cartoon image to the left and identify at least one of the scientists. Next, describe what one of them has to do with what we have been studying. Next, find a scientist that has nothing to do with what we are studying and explain why you think that. Finally, you can argue with someone else's posting as to why or why not this scientist has a contribu

I think that number 2 looks like Isaac Newton, therefore he has something to do with something we have studied. We studied his three laws of motion, along with a song to help remember. One of them that does not look like someone we have studied would be number 5. Because I think, if we did study him we would have made something up to remember him by his antlers. And Mr. Casey would have said something about his antler head. :)

Number 2 is Isaac Newton, who we have studied in class. We learned Newton's three laws of motion. We also learned a song to help us with Newtons three laws (An example of something we have been doing that involve Newtons three laws is the race car project we have been working on). Somebody that has nothing to do with our studies so far, however, is number 9, who I believe is Florence Nightingale, the 'lady with the lamp" who basically created nursing and the coxcomb. So far we haven't been studying this(nursing) but who knows:D
Mr. Casey
1/9/2013 01:13:56 am
No repeating! Number 9 is interesting. What does everyone else think?

Number 3 is Madame Curie, due to the radiation around her figure. She discovered how to measure radiation in different things, and even how in some things they had a higher or stronger level of radiation. She also discovered the elements radium and polonium. Also I believe Number 13 is Schrodenger, who invented the theron Shrodenger's cat, which is how you put a cat in a box with poison, but since you can't see through the box you'll never know when it dies until you open the box.
Mr. Casey
1/9/2013 01:14:47 am
Both are right on! But can someone explain the Schrodinger's Cat theory.
Dominic Garza
1/8/2013 05:51:32 am
I believe that this relates to our hypothesis in class, and how we won't know if they work till we try. This is only a guess, and I'd like to know how it truly relates.
Mr. Casey

number 15 is Mary Anning A.K.A The princess the palentology.She discovered many different fossils and began looking for fossils as a child.
Mr. Casey
1/9/2013 01:16:06 am
So what does that have to do with what we're studying?

I think #2 is Isaac Newton, who we have learned just a little while a go. We have learned that Isaac Newton made the three laws of motion. One of the experiments was when u went down the hill in the wagon. Also we leaned a song about it. The one that we have not have studied is #15 a.k.a Marry Anning who was a famous paleontalagist.
Mr. Casey

I like your connection, but the people are repeats!

Marie Curie which is number 3, has a lot to do with the founding of radiation and the element called Curium.
Mr. Casey

Good work, but does anyone else think Hippocrates has something to do with what we are studying?

i think number 11 is Dmitri Mendeleev. He was the first person to properties atoms and created a table of the chemistry classroom in the world.
Mr. Casey
1/9/2013 06:06:55 am
I think you might be right! Can anyone clarify what Daniela is saying about ..." created a table of the chemistry classroom in the world"
Angela LaBella

I found that in the late 1860's, Mendeleev began working on his greatest achievement which was the periodic table of the elements. In this table he arranged all of the 63 elements then known by their atomic weights. He then managed to organize them into groups having similar properties. He predicted a new element would one day be found, that is why he left a gap in the table. He was right. Three of those elements were found during his lifetime: gallium, scandium, and germanium. This relates to what we are just beginning to study...the study of atoms, and the elements that make them up.

I beleive #16 is Louis Pasteur. Pasteur was asked to investigate the diseases afflicting wine, which were causing economic losses to the wine industry. Pasteur went to a vineyard in 1864 to study this problem. Pasteur then realized that when wine matured, the microbes harmful as well as helpful, could be killed when heating it to 55C. Pasteur applied the same ideas to the beer and milk industries, with similar success. This process is called pasteurization. I think this is related to the class because Pasteur observed one way of getting rid of bacteria, the expeiremented that method onto milk, and when astronomers observe stars, they can sometimes relate one star to another(and galaxies)

I believe number 15 is Mary Anning and she was a paleontologist who became known for a number of important fossils she found in the Jurassic marine fossil beds at Lyme Regis in Dorsil. And she is someone who is not related to a topic we have studied. I believe number ones Archimedes who's field of science was Hydrostatics, static mechanics, pycnometry (the measurement of the volume or density of an object.) he is called "father if integral calculus" and also the "father of mathematical physics."
Mr. Casey
1/10/2013 01:56:30 am
So what is hydrostatics, and static mechanics?
Hoffman,4
1/10/2013 09:56:58 am
Hydrostatics- is physics concerned with fluids that are not in motion
Hoffman,4
1/9/2013 12:05:19 pm
Therefore Archemedes studies are a topic we have learned.

I think #1 is Socrates, the one thing thst gives it away is his Greek style clothing. Socrates was a famous philosopher back in the Ancient Greece times. There is a thing called the Socratic Problem which is complaining that all of his works, knowledge of man, life and philosophy was all based off of his students work. Among them is Plato, however there are also works by Xenophon, Aristotle and Aristophanes. However in my opinion no matter if it was his work or his students, it was still his teachings that created the work.
Mr. Casey
1/10/2013 01:58:52 am
SO if you become a famous (i.e. rich) scientist it would all be from my teachings therefore I can claim the fame?! SWEEEEEETTTTT!
Daniela Alvarado

I think #1 is Archidemes of Syracuse a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor and astronomer. He is generally considered to be the greatest mathematician of antiquity and one of the greatest of all time. Archimedes' Principle tells of how he invented a method for determining the volume of an object with an irregular shape. He is related to what we have studied in science because we learned about buoyant force. Archimedes' principle states that a body immersed in a fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. The rubber duck helped me identify him. Also, I think #10 is Alan Turing the founder of computer science. He is considered to be the father of computer science and artificial intelligence. I don't think we have learned about him in science.

I think #6 is Aba Byron also know as Aba Lovelace. Byron was a writer and english mathematician.She had notes on a engine, then was later is recognized as the first algorithm intended to be processed by a machine. Because of this, she is often considered the world's first computer programmer.

I am almost positive that #3 is Madame Curie because of the way that she dresses; also I think that number 9 is Florence Nightingale because of the way they dressed in that certain time period, and #2 might or might not be Issac Newton.
bryce gates
1/10/2013 12:19:47 pm
i forgot to mention that we were talking about newton's three laws just last month so Issac Newton is the one that ties in with what we are learning.

I think that #1 is Socrates he was a philosopher, then I am positive that # 4 is Charles Darwin, i could tell because of the fish with legs on his shirt because he studied the species of life and evolution, then #7 is Euclid he was a Greek Mathmatician and was called ''Father of Geometry''. next #10 is Neil's Bohr, he was the first to understand atomic structure and quantum mechanics, #11 is Dmitri Mendeleev, he created the first periodic table, #13 is Definitly Erwin Schrodinger he worked in the field of quantum theory and came up with Schrodinger's cat, #14 is Nikola Tesla he worked on Electro Magnatism, #15 is Mary Anning she was a paleontologist, and finally #16 is Louis Pasteur who worked on antidotes for Antrax and Rabies.

When I said, #11 Dmitri Mendeleev, "created a table of the chemistry classroom in the world." I meant that he created the periodic table and arranged it into periods and families. Each row was referred to as a period. The periods are 7 and they go from most active to inactive gases.The groups or families are 18 and they are the columns, which have the same number of valence electrons. From left to right across a period, the elements increased in atomic mass. Therefore, Mendeleev organized elements according to their properties and their atomic mass. He developed a chart with eight columns and several rows. Something interesting is that he believe there were other elements that would be added to the chart and he left places for them. Later the missing elements were discovered. In science, we have used the periodic table that Mendeleev developed.

Okay, we now have people who have looked these up. Now let's answer the other parts of the question and repeat answers will NOT get extra credit. 1/14/2013 10:17:47 am
#12 is Hypatia which has to do with what we have been studying because she also taught astronomy. Which has to do with the stars we have been studying with. #8 Rosalind Franklin has nothing to do with what we are studying because he involves with DNA which probably won't be in this curriculum. I learned DNA and molecules last year in 7th grade. 1/15/2013 06:52:12 am
#4-Charles Darwin has a lot to do with evolution of life, including the genetic results of natural selection (basing his work on Mendle's pea experiments). #2-Isaac Newton, smart guy, but nothing to really do about life science or plants(unless you include Newton's falling apple..LOL)...Newton was gravity laws and physics rather than life science.
Maranda Myres
1/16/2013 08:20:59 am
I believe that #10 is Alan Turing who was a computer scientist. He has to do with what we are doing because without the technology he helped improve, we wouldn't have a lot of the discoveries to study that have been made with the help of this technology. Rosalind Frank made significant discoveries about DNA which we have not studied this year.

I believe that #2 looks like Issac Newton. He relates to something we have studied cause he made up the three laws of motions that we just learned about recently.And sang a song about.
Maia Gray
1/21/2013 11:12:10 am
I believe that #5 looks like Tycho Brahe who invented Metal moose antlers doesn't relate to anything we have studied because we have never talked about antler and if so we probably would have made a song about it.
Mr. Casey
1/22/2013 01:29:35 am
Huh!? Invented metal? Try again!

i believe 10 is Louis Pasteur and I think that he has to do with life science because of the germ theory of disease which is life science. I also believe that 2 is Isaac Newton and he doesn't relate to life science because it is mostly physics.
Maddy Werch
1/24/2013 01:51:36 pm
I think that the second person is sir Isaac newton. He has been in our studies while learning newtons three laws we also made a song to help us remember the laws. I'm sure we haven't learned about number five because we would have had something that would help us remember what he did/ studied.

Number 14 is Nikola Tesla, the person who invented the tesla coil
Matthew Engelhardt period 2

The tesla coil excites the electrons in an atom and creates an electric charge that can be in some cases deadly. Which has to do with atoms and such. Comments are closed.
