Famous Scientist Timeline

The sentence of the Inquisition was delivered on 22 June. It was in three essential parts:<br /> <br /> Galileo was found "vehemently suspect of heresy" (though he was never formally charged with heresy, relieving him of facing corporal punishmen), namely of having held the opinions that the Sun lies motionless at the centre of the universe, that the Earth is not at its centre and moves, and that one may hold and defend an opinion as probable after it has been declared contrary to Holy Scripture. He was required to "abjure, curse and detest" those opinions.<br /> <br /> He was sentenced to formal imprisonment at the pleasure of the Inquisition. On the following day, this was commuted to house arrest, which he remained under for the rest of his life.<br /> <br /> His offending Dialogue was banned; and in an action not announced at the trial, publication of any of his works was forbidden, including any he might write in the future.

Hi, I really like this resource and will definitely use it in my classroom going in to my NQT year. It's a great timeline to peak interest in science and refreshing to see so many women in science. <br /> <br /> I hope you don't mind but I added more scientists in to it (Scottish scientitsts mainly as my S1 classes will be doing some research this term). I also added QR codes to each of the pages, which can take pupils to more info. I might use to facilitiate more research or a quiz later on in the year.<br /> <br /> Would you be against me reposting a new version? Free of charge of course and credit to your original work.

This is a useful starting point, and I really appreciate the hard work you've put in, but based on your inaccurate portrayal of Galileo, it'll be necessary to fact-check the rest of the resource before putting it up on the wall. Your comment regarding Galileo's relationship with the Church is very misleading. May I recommend some reading? There's plenty out there; Tim O'Neill's work on Quora is a good start: http://qr.ae/TF225B
