Scientific Revolution

Whenever a lesson is taught in any subject, it is benefical to integrate it with other subjects in the curriculum. Allowing yourself to make connections across various content areas will benefit your teaching strategies and your students ability to learn the material being taught. The activities we did regarding the Scientific Revolution were a great example on how to integrate science with social studies. A great example of combining these two content areas would be studying the sun, stars and solar system and how some cultures used these elements of science to create clocks and a full year calendar. The possibilites are endless, this is just a small example of how to integrate science with studying various cultures. After having students do the sink and float lesson, you could possible connect that with some famous voyages across the oceans and how these voyages led to changes that forever affected how we live.
