It’s been a long time since I wrote a science articles. It’s also been a while since I wrote personal profile. To get back into the swing of things, I have decided to put up a couple of quick profiles I wrote about scientists. Here is one on Galileo. Bear with me since they are designed for ESL students.
Galileo Galilei was a great scientist. He was born on February 18th, 1564 in Tuscany, Pisa, Italy. He studied at the University of Pisa. His father was Vicencio Galilei and helped him in his early studies. Galileo Galielei died on Jan 8th, 1642 in prison.
Galileo Galilei had many great achievements. He is famous for discovering the Law of Inertia. He advanced the Copernicus Theory that says the Earth revolves around the sun. It had been accepted that the Earth was the center of the Universe. He also discovered moons around Jupiter and Saturn. He was the inventor of the telescope.
Galileo Galilei was a curious person and it lead him to many discoveries. He was intellectually honest. His strong determination means that he never gave up his studies. He withstood much persecution from the Catholic Church for his beliefs. Through it all, he became a successful man who is revered by many scientists.
