1 Contributions of Ancient Greece: Archimedes & Euclid Euclid Archimedes

2 Archimedes’ Principle Of Displacement Archimedes’ Screw Archimedes Claw Archimedes Death Ray

3 “Give me a place to stand, and I will move the earth.” -Archimedes Eureka! Eureka! I have found it! -Archimedes

4 Video about Archimedes Click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIYdxQuzb60

5 Could a death ray really work? Click here Now here!

7 Euclid’s Five Postulates I.Any two points can be joined by a straight line segment. II.A straight line segment can be extended infinitely in either direction. III.A straight line segment of any length can be used as a circle’s radius, with one endpoint serving as the circle’s center. IV.All right angles are congruent. V.If two lines intersect a third line in away that their inner angles add up to less than 180 degrees, those two lines will intersect on that same side, forming a triangle with the third line. GEOMETRY

8 What did Archimedes shout when he discovered the concept of displacement? Eureka!

9 What is the term that we use to describe the idea that any solid object, when placed in water, experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the water it displaces? The Archimedes’ Principle

10 The King of Syracuse asked Archimedes to help him with a very complex problem. What was the King’s name? King Hiero

11 What is the formula for calculating the volume of a solid, irregular object? Final Volume – Starting Volume = Volume of Object

12 Name one of Archimedes inventions. Archimedes’ Claw, The Archimedes’ Screw, The Death Ray

13 Euclid is credited with writing what? Five Postulates or assumptions about geometry

14 Euclid used this to help him solve problems Logic

15 Name one of the postulates that Euclid wrote
