I've been messing about with creating a few notebooking pages for scientists we are studying in Paul Fleisher's series, Secrets of the Universe, which is a part of Ambleside Online's Year 6 curriculum. I've uploaded my latest two on Scribd.
This first is a generic page featuring a rendering of the man himself and two quotations.
Galileo Notebooking Page
The second page is more specific to Fleisher's Objects in Motion: Principles of Classical Mechanics. It highlights the Law of Pendulum Motion and the Law of Uniform Acceleration. I used the same rendering but a different quotation.
Galileo Notebooking Page: Two Laws
Why I chose the quotations I chose: I found it intriguing that Galileo, a devout Christian, often criticizes the Church in Rome in his writings for its stance against heliocentrism. For Galileo, one's firm and unyielding faith in God did not negate one's own God-given power of observation and reason.
I hope you find these useful!

I must admit that this book frightens me a little. I might be back here in January when our copy arrives. Again, so glad you're ahead of us!
