They meet Machiavelli, the Italian statesman whose book, \u003cem\u003eThe Prince\u003c\/em\u003e, described Renaissance politics as they truly existed and whose name became synonymous with political manipulation. Readers explore the nature of the solar system with Copernicus, and experience the life and death struggles of Thomas More, one of the Renaissance era's greatest legal minds and also one of the world's first writers of science fiction. Plus, they'll meet Francis Bacon, who developed and promoted the scientific method that still guides scientific inquiry to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing an inquiry-based approach to learning, each chapter of \u003cem\u003eThe Renaissance Thinkers\u003c\/em\u003e includes hands-on activities and open-ended assignments that challenge young readers to engage in scientific experiments of their own that incorporate the scientific method and the engineering design process. Kids learn to think critically and creatively about the political and social forces at work in their own lives. They will build arches, draw with linear perspective, argue the points of a legal case, create their own Utopias, and engage in philosophical debates.
