Galileo had many important events throughout the course of his life
that impacted him tremendously. This secondary source helped us
because it taught us what had an impacted Galileo so much and what
was important that occurred in his life. The information in this source
relates to the theme because it is about what Galileo encountered and
explored throughout his life.

Galileo Galilei found out the geocentric theory was not correct but that
the heliocentric theory was correct and he made many findings about
the universe and what it contains inside of it. This secondary source is
important to our project and helped us because it was about what
Galileo researched and studied as well as the trading of ideas between
him and the creators of the geocentric and heliocentric theory. This
information in the source relates to the theme because it informs us
about the exchange of ideas and theories between Galileo and other
scientists.

The geocentric theory is the theory in which all the planets revolve
around the Earth. The heliocentric theory is the theory in which all the
planets revolve around the Sun. This secondary source taught us some
background information about the two theories. The information in this
source relates to the theme because it shows the theories that Galileo
explored.
Galileo Galilei explored and discovered many things that are in our
universe. This secondary source helped us with the findings of Galileo
and other things about him. The information in this source relates to
the theme because it is about Galileos explorations, encounters, and
exchanges.

him on a trial.

The geocentric theory evolved into the heliocentric theory which was
created by Nicholas Copernicus. This secondary source taught us how
the geocentric theory eventually failed and formed the heliocentric
theory. The information in this source relates to the theme because it
explains what happens to the theory that Galileo was exchanging ideas
about.
Galileo created the pendulum clock and discovered that the period of
the swing of the pendulum is independent of its amplitude. This
secondary source helped with our project by explaining one of his most
common discoveries, which was the pendulum. It described how he
created the pendulum and the physics behind it in order to work. This
source relates to the theme because it explains something that Galileo
explored into and encountered after utilizing the laws pf physics he
knew about.

Along with discovering and proving new theories such as the Ptolemaic
system, the Copernican system, the heliocentric theory and more,
Galileo also created many different inventions and gathered
observations, for example, sunspots. This secondary source helped our
project by listing and providing examples of the different achievements
of Galileo, such as the theories he discovered, and some inventions.
The details in this source relate to the theme because they talk about
the different theories that Galileo explored, such as the Ptolemaic
system, the observations he encountered, such as the characteristics
of tides, and the ideas and inventions he exchanged.
Galileo was put on trial because of his support of the heliocentric theory. This secondary
source gave us information on the trial of Galileo and provided us with pictures and
letters that Galileo had sent and received. The information in this source relates to the
theme because it informed us about the heliocentric theory which was one of the theories
that Galileo explored, encountered, and exchanged ideas about.

Other than the observations that Galileo made about the moon, he also
studied Jupiters moons. Galileo recorded observations about these
satellites overnight and he studied the movement and disappearances.
This primary resource helped us and our project by showing an in
depth illustration and explanation of the different observations that
were made by Galileo when he used a telescope. This diagram relates
to the theme because it shows the different actions, which were
recorded, of Jupiters moons that Galileo encountered.

our project, since it explained all of his thoughts. This picture relates to
the theme because it shows Galileos exchange in his theoretical ideas
and views.

conclusion.
