The First Science Teacher


This is the paper I was talking about with us using the same writing curriculum.  Here is Nicholas' about Robert Grosseteste.




The First Science Teacher

By Nicholas

Robert Grosseteste was an important figure during the middle ages, because he was a bishop in the Roman Catholic Church around 1200 A.D. He was thoroughly committed to discovering the laws and physics God set in motion. Because of Grosseteste’s revered job as bishop, he had little time for science but he would always be doing experiments to explain correctly why things happen. Interestingly when Grosseteste was inventing things he would not build them unless he had a reason behind the invention.  He thought that scientists should observe and explain why things happen, which made Robert Grosseteste the first teacher to instruct The Scientific Method.
