Galileo, The Scientist
Galileo was an amazing scientist. As a young boy, he loved to learn. He built his own telescope and made special discoveries. He found four moons around Jupiter and phases of Venus, just like our Moon. He also proved that weight doesn't affect how fast things fall by testing on the Leaning Tower of Pisa. His works started modern science.
Question 1
Which planet's moons did Galileo discover?
Mars
Venus
Jupiter
Explanation. Galileo discovered four moons around Jupiter.
Saturn
Earth
Question 2
What did Galileo prove with his experiments at the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
Weight affects how fast things fall
Color affects how fast things fall
Height affects how fast things fall
Weight doesn't affect how fast things fall
Explanation. Galileo proved that weight doesn't affect how fast things fall through his testing on the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Size affects how fast things fall
Question 3
What theory of Aristotle did Galileo disprove?
The weight affects how fast things fall
A theory about how heavy things fall faster than light things
Explanation. Galileo proved that the weight of an object doesn't affect how fast it falls
Objects always fall straight down
Objects fall faster in the air than in vacuum
Objects heavier than air cannot float
Question 4
What were Galileo contributions to science?
He help us learn more about the stars and planets using a telescope
He showed that doing experiments is important for finding out how things work
He made new tools to help scientists see things they couldn't see before
He change the way people thought about the Earth and the sky
Explanation. Galileo discovered that Venus has phases, just like our Moon
It is the second planet from the sun
Question 5
How would you describe Galileo?
He was someone who wanted to find out the truth through experiments and observation
Explanation. As per the passage Galileo started with building his own telescope, then discovered the moons and phases and finally proved the concept of weight and fall speed
He discovered the phases of Venus, built a telescope, discovered the moons of Jupiter and proved weight doesn't affect fall speed
He discovered the moons of Jupiter, proved weight doesn't affect fall speed, built a telescope and discovered the phases of Venus
He proved weight doesn't affect fall speed, built a telescope, discovered the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus
He discovered the moons of Jupiter, built a telescope, proved weight doesn't affect fall speed and discovered the phases of Venus
Question 6
If you were Galileo, what would you invent?
Something that would help people see things far away more clearly
nothing
A tools i can use for experimenting
Something that would make learning about science more exciting
Explanation. As per the passage, Galileo loved to learn as a young boy
Something that could help prove new ideas about the world
Question 7
If you were Galileo, how would you react if you had proved that one theory was wrong, but no one believed you?
I would still believe in what i found because my experiments showed it was true
i will keep looking for more evidence to help them understand
Explanation. Galileo discovered four moons around Jupiter with his telescope
I might feel little sad or frustrated that people didn't see what i saw
I would probably try to show them my proof and explain it in different ways
I don't mind them not believing on me
