The Golden Age of Islam
Although it is unlikely that we will ever know if the Muslims played a role in the development of the telescope, there are several well-documented artistic and scientific accomplishments that were either discovered or perfected during The Golden Age of Islam (750-1100). During this time, Islamic scholars translated and studied Greek, Indian and Persian texts, helping to further investigations in the areas of math, science, medicine, and the arts. The Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution in Europe drew upon the discoveries and contributions made by the Muslims in these fields, yet these Muslim accomplishments often remain unappreciated.
THE TASK
To all the Writing Staff of Arts & Sciences Magazine:
The editors at Arts & Sciences Magazine are delighted that Time Magazine has chosen Albert Einstein as "Person of the Twentieth Century." We feel that often history overlooks the importance of scientists, mathematicians, and artists in changing the direction of civilization. Arts & Sciences Magazine would like to run a feature on all the people who have contributed to the fields of science and mathematics for the last 1000 years.
To begin this project, the editors want the staff to begin researching the contributions made by Muslims during the Golden Age of Islam (750-1100). They feel the best approach would be to break into teams that investigate the various fields, and then submit presentations about the people and contributions of the Islamic World during this time. The editors will then ask the writers to present their findings in order to chose who they might feature as the "Person of the Century" for these years in scientific history.
Editors of Arts & Sciences Magazine
THE PROCESS
Your team is responsible for researching the various scientific accomplishments made during the Golden Age of the Islam. You will be assigned one or two of these fields of study: Geometry, Algebra, Medicine, Astronomy, Art and Architecture. You will research that field of study using individualized questionnaires that will guide your data collection process. That information will be used to prepare a presentation. For this presentation you may utilize a variety of multimedia tools. This could include a Power Point presentation, a Web Page, or a documentary video.
SOME ADVICE
It is your responsibility to research the topic thoroughly. You will need to collect the sources from a variety of places. Be sure you understand the definition of your topic. Choose a GROUP LEADER and a GROUP SECRETARY. It is the job of the Group Leader to keep everyone on task and make sure people stick to their work. It is the job of the Group Secretary to keep attendance for the group and keep track of all the groups' work in one place.
Individual questionnaires for each topic.
Begin by reading all the questions. You will find that the information is located in several places, so you will need to keep them in mind while either visiting the Web sites or reading over printed material.
Record any interesting information even if it doesn't fit into one of the questions.
Fill the answers out in your own words so that you can use it either for the written report or the presentation.
