=Astronomy and Gravity=


 * Humans** have always been fascinated by the stars. Many beliefs have been held in various cultures at various times. We will be exploring the links between science and culture through the vantage point of history. Comparing ancient and modern views on astronomy gives us a firm understanding of both our modern views as well as a context to better understand how we and science have evolved.

We will be working on creative and thorough presentations which explore the view on astronomy and gravity. Beginning with an ancient culture and progressing through to Einstein's theory of gravity, your presentation should be encompassing and engaging.

Ancient civilizations with noted astronomical accomplishments include the Mayans, Egyptians, African cultures, Babylonian, Chinese, and Greek. You may also seek out other cultures of your choosing.
