An educational podcast for children in which we travel back in time to Renaissance Italy, specifically to the year 1609, to meet the man who forever changed the way we look at the sky: Galileo Galilei. In this episode of “History Has a Voice,” we will land in Pisa to chat with the man considered to be the father of modern science.

Galileo was an extremely curious physicist, mathematician, and astronomer who, although he began studying medicine, preferred numbers and experiments in the end. We will learn the importance of the “scientific method,” which includes observing, questioning, and testing things before taking them for granted and is a way of thinking that laid the foundations for modern science.

Thanks to the improvements he made to the telescope, he discovered the mountains of the Moon, the phases of Venus, and the four moons of Jupiter, confirming that the Earth was not the center of the universe, but rather revolved around the Sun. His revolutionary ideas caused him serious problems with the authorities of the time, but he never gave up searching for the truth.

In this episode, we will discover the truth about his famous free-fall experiment in the Tower of Pisa, learn about inventions such as the military compass and the thermoscope (the “grandfather” of the thermometer), and look at the stars through his lens. A fascinating journey to learn not to be afraid of making mistakes.

A very useful and interesting resource for children. It is perfect for introducing the Renaissance and astronomy in primary education, explaining what the scientific method is, and encouraging critical thinking and curiosity about the universe.
