Tools Of The Ancient Greeks - A Kid's Guide to the History and Science of Life in Ancient Greece (Paperback)

Children will learn all about different civilizations and inventions--the way they changed history, their evolution over centuries, and their influence on modern times--through the activities and anecdotes provided in this interactive series.
Kids discover the origin of ancient Greek theories, such as anatomy, geography, and democracy, and the ways they continue to influence modern-day thinking with the absorbing time lines, sidebars, and activities included in this guide. Profiles of more than two dozen famous historical figures explain how their inventions are used in the modern world and provide insight into the experimental nature of the Aegean people. Fifteen activities allow children to re-create some of the scientific discoveries while learning how to use scientific reasoning, develop theses, and find supporting evidence.
