This interactive activity adapted from NOVA provides students a way to gain a more accurate understanding of how science is done. Two videos, which feature the work of renowned scientists Percy Julian and Judah Folkman, demonstrate that while scienti...sts may use an orderly approach to learn new information and solve problems, they proceed along different paths in their quests. The link includes two videos. The first video is about Julian Percy. In the 1930s, chemist Julian Percy joined the race to synthesize a plant alkaloid called physostigmine from basic chemical building blocks. As you watch the video, the link pairs up the various parts of the scientific process with his steps in the investigation. The second video is about Dr. Judah Folkman, who conducted research about the growth of tumors. Again, as you watch the video, the link will align the steps in the scientific method with the steps in his investigation. Closed captioning is included on both videos.

After thousands of years of attributing all cause and effect to "magic" scientists decide to try a different method. In the 17th
century, European thinkers started to invest their studies which lead to the scientific revolution. Scientific revoluti...on was about
beliefs, logic, and reason. Nicolas Copernicus made others believe that the sun, not the earth was the center of the universe.
another scientist, Galileo invented the telescope. Thomas Edison invented the record player and the light bulb. All 3 scientists used scientific methods to help for what was needed to invent their experiment and change the way people
thought. This video explains how the scientific method came to benefit mankind. An excellent motivator for students as it shows that not all inventions need to be grand. (03:55)
