This week's assignments
In our whirlwind tour of the history of science, this week we make our stop in ancient Athens and Greece. After spending a little time among the Pythagoreans, we will enjoy meeting two of the most influential scientists of all time, as we welcome Plato and Aristotle as our time travel tour guides! Our aim will be to get to know them in terms of their own place and time. We'll not be like tourists in Athens who seek fast food at McDonald's.
