This activity uses a video to introduce the study of Galileo’s booklet, Starry Messenger. A highlighted transcript is available for students to read as the video plays. A set of questions about the video and a PDF worksheet of vocabulary terms and famous people are also part of the instructional materials. The activity concludes with an assignment that teachers might consider optional since it requires students to have access to a magnification device to look at the night sky.
