I thought it was awesome to learn about Galileo in Florence because its where he is from, lived and worked. Seeing some of his original instruments (such as hours telescope) at the museum gave me a deeper appreciation of our book. It was also incredible to me to see Galileo's family crest above the doorway of his son's house.

  1. I also think it's neat to see things in person that are related to his life! All of the things you mentioned were cool to see, along with his fingers and tomb.

  2. I agree, seeing his stuff gave me a greater sense of Galileo after reading the book. Seeing his inventions were really cool because I never knew what they looked like and now I do know for some.
