Scientific Revolution Postage Stamps
I looked everywhere for a Scientific Revolution project for my 9th graders that would take a really long time but still forced them to do some research. I used this in combination with blendspace.com to help introduce the students to research. I made them write down their sources to introduce a level of accountability.
To make this editable for another project, make a copy in google docs using the link in the document.
Thank You and enjoy! Let me know any comments or concerns!

The students in this class were older, but still working on more basic language concepts, so the packet is mainly in English, and the length of the paper is o
