1. ___ Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was an Italian mathematics teacher and one of the first true scientists. Galileo did not believe old ideas about the way the world worked but made careful experiments to find out for himself. He built a telescope and became the first man to us it for studying the Moon and planets. What he saw made him believe Copernicus`s idea that the Earth was not the centre of the universe.
2. ___ Johannes Gutenberg (about 1398-1468) is often called the father of book printing. In his day, people slowly copied books by hand or printed them from blocks where each letter was made individually. Gutenberg learned to make metal letters called type. He could pick them up and place them in rows to build pages of type. Gutenberg`s movable type helped him to make copies of a book faster and easier than ever before.
3. ___ Edmond Halley (1656-1742) was an English astronomer who is best known for his study of comets. He got interested in comets when he was still a young man. Halley noticed that the way followed by a comet he had seen in 1682 was very much like those reported in 1607 and 1531. He decided that it was the same comet and said that it would return in 1758. And it did!
4. ___ John Bardeen (1908-1991) was an American scientist who is best remembered for his invention of the transistor with William Shockley and Walter Brattain. The three received the Nobel prize in physics for this work. In 1972, Bardeen won a second Nobel prize with John Schrieffer and Leon Cooper for their work on superconductivity.
5. ___ Michael Faraday (1791-1867) was a brilliant English scientist. His studies of chemistry and physics made him world famous. Faraday is best known for his experiments with electricity.
