Greek project. understanding ANIMALS

Storyboard Text

  • Slide: 1
  • Today we will be learning about how the Ancient Greeks affected our understanding on animals
  • Aristotle wanted to look at bird eggs at different stages of development, wanting to understand the order of the organs the growing embryo developed
  • This impacts us today because it shows that Aristotle was curious, and that his research lead to us exploring organs, and other living things.
  • Slide: 2
  • Aristotle connected this to the lifestyle and habitat of each species, saying how organs vary according to where the animal lives, and if the animal breathes air.
  • This impacts us today because of the way that Aristotle connected lifestyle and habitat, is similar to what we do today which shows that our inspiration came from Aristotle.
  • Slide: 3
  • Aristotle noticed that even the same organs differ in other animals and wrote down how those same organs took on completely different roles.
  • This affects us today because Aristotle taught us that the same organs in different animals work differently, and now we can better understand how animals live.
