Famous Scientist Project Rubric

The Scientific Method is one of the human civilization's most powerful tools. By following the principles of Induction and Deduction with careful observation and controlled experimentation, humans can investigate phenomena, acquire new knowledge, and correct and interrogate previous knowledge.

__Objective__: You will work individually to research your chosen scientist. You must research the following rubric items and include them in a well organized wiki article.
