Happy Birthday Charles Darwin!

Darwin bday

 

 

 

 

Charles Darwin was an English naturalist and geologist that lived in the 1800s. He is best-known for his contribution to the theory of evolution. He published his theory in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species.

 

Regardless of your beliefs about creation and evolution, Charles Darwin’s theory was a game-changer in the world, and is well worth understanding today.

Our Darwin resource is part of our Great Scientists collection. Originally I created this collection when one of my sons was in Classical Conversations’ Challenge B program.  He had a lot of research to do and papers to write, so I put together resource collections for each scientist they were studying that year, to make it simpler to have quality information available quickly and easily.  Now it’s available for you, too!   Charles is in good company with other scientists, such as Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton, and others.

Happy Birthday Thomas Edison!

Screen Shot 2015-01-27 at 4.26.51 PM

Thomas Edison was one of America’s most famous and impressive inventors! He was so curious as a child that his teachers actually thought he was none-too-bright, so his wise mother decided to teach him at home instead! 🙂 (How many of you can identify with that one, eh?)

Edison had a lifetime full of curiosity and invention, amassing over a thousand patents by the time he died! He is an inspirational man to learn about, and is included in our exciting Famous Inventors collection.  Many moms tell me that their sons, in particular, really love our Famous Inventors and Great Scientists collections.  You should check it out!

For today I’ve got an Edison quote for you, and there is a *Free Printable* version of this that you can help yourself to!  Click here to download.
