Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Scientific breakthroughs and discoveries are made by men and women who go beyond what was only previously observed. The 21 short plays in this collection seek to humanize science by looking at these advances from the point of view of both famous and undeservedly neglected men and women. They go as far back as the ancient world and continue into the modern age. This anthology explores various branches of science―from physics and medicine to astronomy and even cryptology―making important scientific ideas and notable scientists more real by dramatizing them. Each play runs between eight and ten minutes with a cast size of two to five characters, and have simple costume, prop, and set listings. Especially ideal for STEM or STEAM middle and high schools, the stage directions and production notes help students visualize the scene, even when simply being read in class. The “Background” before each play gives information about the scientist, that particular aspect of science, or the historical context of the drama to follow. The “Aftermath” that concludes each play explains what happened after the moments captured in the drama. These sections help students better understand and appreciate how the events of the play fit into history and the world of science.
