The Story of Science:
Aristotle Leads the Way


In this book your students travel back in time to ancient Babylonia, Egypt, and Greece. They will meet the world's first astronomers, mathematicians, and physicists as they explore the lives and ideas of such famous people as Pythagoras, Archimedes, Brahmagupta, Al Khwarizmi, Fibonacci, Ptolemy, St. Augustine, and St. Thomas Aquinas. Hakim introduces them to Aristotle-one of the greatest philosophers of all time-whose scientific ideas dominated much of the world for eighteen centuries (although much of what he believed was wrong).
Ever wonder what it was like to be a student of Plato? Go to early 400 B.C.E. to find out the differences between Plato and his student, Aristotle.
