Galilei

toc =Galilei information= toc =Essential questions= **1# Who is the inventor and what about their life impacted their ability to create the invention?** Galileo Galilei was born in Febuary 15,1564 in Pisa,Italy he was born from a noble family. Galileo's parents were Vincenzo and his fathers name was Galilei and his mothers name was Giulia degli Ammannati. His father was af amous musician and Galileo was the oldest of his six brothers or sister. In 1851 Galileo went to the University's of Pisa because his father wanted him to study medicine but Galileo was more fascinated with math. Galileo after started to study about the movement of objects in space-physics. Galileo did some notes of a hanging lamp that went side to side in its motion. This infuleced first pendulum clocks. Later on he became a professor at the University of Padua. Galileo invented the telescope 1610 because he wanted to see better into space.
 * Galileo Galilei was born in Febuary 15,1564 in Pisa,Italy he was born from a noble family.
 * At the age of 17 Galileo Galilei moved to the University of Pisa in 1581.
 * While in University Galileo did some experience on pendulums finding different pendulums have different periods.
 * He later on he used the pendulums to make a clock (1641).
 * Galileo Galilei also found that the speed at which bodies fall does not depend on their heavyness(weight)
 * In 1593, Galileo invented the thermometer
 * Some of Galileo Galilei's other many inventions included a revolutionary water pump hydrostatic balance that is a device that weighed things accurately in either air or water.
 * In 1609 Galileo Galilei invented a telescpoe that was much more powerful then Hans Lippershey's.
 * In 1610 Galileo discoverd the rings of Saturn and he was the first one to discover the four major moons of Jupiter.
 * Confirm that the Earth orbits the Sun
 * In 1633 Galileo Galilei was charged by the Inquisition who was an institution run by the Catholic church for the eradication of heresies and heretics.
 * Galileo ignored the Church and disobeyed and published his book, "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems
 * After when Galileo published his book he was found guilty of heresy in 1633 and was put under house arrest until Galileo said the the Earth was the middle of the system.
 * Galileo died in 1642, at his home near Florence, Italy

2# **** What is the invention and how did it come to be invented? ** In 1610 Galileo invented the telescope. Galileo's teelscope was 20 times much more stronger than Hans Lippershay. When Galileo took his first test he saw the moon and thats how it became invented.

How did the invention affect society at that time? Galileo's invention affected a lot the society at that time because thanks to the telescope he could prove that Earth wasn't at the center of the Universe but the Sun instead. Everbody was shocked from his discovery and they didn't want to believe him, especially because these people were certain that the ancient Aristotle teories were right. He has been even accused and tortured by the Holy Office of the Inquisition ( a Catholic Church priests), but his discoveries and studies effected the society. Galileo till now is called the father of the modern science, and he was truly a man who changed the world.

Is the invention still used today? Why? How? Modifications? The telescope is still used today and it is still used as the same thing that when it was made but there are different types of telescope. There are big and small telescope and they are used to see the space. They are more powerfull and much more thecnological.

Could this invention have an impact on the future? Explain This invention did have an inpact in the past as well as the future. It will make us see farther and will make us see things that we didn't see and help us if Earth is no use. Thats why I know it will have an inpact in the future.



=facts= Galileo's full name was Galileo Bonaiuti de' Galilei and his father died in 1591 and he was entrusted with the care of his younger brother [|Michelagnolo]. Galileo got married with [|Maria Celeste] Galileo fathered three children. They had two daughters, Virginia in 1600 and Livia in 1601, and one son, Vincenzio, in 1606. Because of their illegitimate birth, their father considered the girls unmarriageable. Their only worthy alternative was the religious life. Both girls were sent to the convent of San Matteo.

=Galileo speech=

Buongiorno classe! Il mio nome e’ Galileo Galilei e quest’oggi vi parlero’ di me, della mia vita, delle mie scoperte ed invenzioni. For all of you who didn’t understand Italian I said that today I will talk about myself, my life, and my discoveries and of course my inventions. How I make my first telescope/ materials and so on, and why this invention became so important for the future generation. My full name is Galileo Bonaiuti de' Galilei. I was born in Pisa, February 15, 1564 -Italy from a noble but not rich family. My father’s name was Vincenzo Galilei a musician and my mother’s name was Giulia degli Ammannati. I was the oldest of six between brothers and sister. When I was 8 years old my family moved to Florence and two years later I joined them. My first tutor was Mr. Borghini and once I was old enough to be educated in a monastery, my parents sent me to the Camaldolese Monastery at Vallombrosa, southeast of Florence. I was intended to join the Monastery Order, but my father already decided that I should become a medical doctor. He sent me back to Pisa to get the medical degree at the University of Pisa. I never took the medical studies seriously infect I did not complete this degree, but instead I’ve studied mathematics. Mathematics and natural philosophy were my real interests. I began teaching mathematics privately in Florence and Siena and when my name became known I started teaching at the University of Pisa. I wrote my first book “The little balance” a method of finding the specific gravities of substances using a balance. When my father died I had to provide a better financial support for the rest of the family. In 1592, I moved to the [|University of Padua] at the Republic of Venice, where my salary was 3 times more than Pisa. I’d teach [|geometry], [|mechanics] , and [|astronomy] until 1610. I describe this period the happiest of my life. During this period I made also significant discoveries in both pure science (for example astronomy) and applied science (for example improvement of the telescope). At Padua I met and began a long term relationship with Maria Gamba, who was from Venice. We did not marry perhaps because my financial situation was not good enough. In 1600 we got our first child Virginia, followed by a second daughter Livia. In 1606 my son Vincenzo was born. In 1602 I worked on the theory of motion and over the following two years, through my study of inclined planes and the pendulum, I had formulated the correct law of falling bodies and had worked out that a projectile follows a parabolic path. I did some notes of a hanging lamp that went side to side in its motion. This influenced the first pendulum clocks I designed around 1640. My son Vincenzo tried to make a clock to my plan, but he failed. In May 1609, I received a letter from a friend telling me about a spyglass that a Dutchman had shown in Venice. By using my own technical skills as a mathematician and as a craftsman, I began to make a series of telescopes whose optical performance was much better than that of the Dutch instrument. My first telescope was made from available lenses and gave a magnification of about four times. To improve on this I learned how to grind and polish my own lenses and by August 1609 I had an instrument with a magnification of around eight or nine. By the end of 1609 I had turned his telescope on the night sky and began to make remarkable discoveries. Those discoveries are described in a short book called the //Starry Messenger// published in Venice in May 1610. I have seen mountains on the Moon, the Milky Way was made up of tiny stars, and I have seen four small bodies orbiting Jupiter. In June 1610, only a month after my little book was published, I resigned from Padua and became Chief Mathematician at the University of Pisa (without any teaching duties) and 'Mathematician and Philosopher' to the Grand Duke of Tuscany. In 1611 I visited Rome where I was treated as a leading celebrity. While in Rome, and after my return to Florence, I continued to make observations with his telescope. I understood that all my discoveries were evidence for Copernicans theory. This created a serious consequence: the Jesuits began to see me as a dangerous opponent of the Catholic believes regarding the structure of the universe: the Sun rotates around Earth and not opposite. I was found guilty and condemned to lifelong imprisonment, but the sentence was carried out somewhat sympathetically and it amounted to house arrest rather than a prison sentence. I had spent the rest of his life watched over by officers from the Inquisition. In 1634 I stayed in the country at my house at [|Arcetri], outside of Florence. I went completely blind in 1638 and was suffering from a painful hernia and insomnia, so I was permitted to travel to Florence for medical advice. I continued to receive visitors until 1642, when, after suffering fever and heart palpitations, I died. The telescope can help the future because it can help us find what is happening in space and it can help us see what will happen in the future and what things that we don't know. The telescope in these years has changed a lot because when I invented the telescope it was and it didn’t look beyond that the telescopes see today and the other changes are the lenses and the size.
