Museo Galileo Virtual Museum

This extensive website covers the evolution and development of scientific tools and instruments. Information is provided through descriptive text, images, and videos that explain the use, development, and history of each item. With a collection of more than 5,000 items to explore, a virtual museum tour, and biographies of over 75 scientists between the 16th and 19th centuries, students could use this resource for research projects and teachers could create scavenger hunts or use images and videos to support lessons. Suitable for grades 8-12, the younger students may need teacher assistance with technical information.
