Influence Makers
Now this is cool.
The Royal Society has placed online 60 of the most influential papers published in its 350 years of scientific history. They have called the site Trailblazers.
It’s all here.
Isaac Newton on light and colours.
van Leeuwenhoek and his observations of little animals in rainwater.
Benjamin Franklin on flying a kite in an electrical storm.
A treasure trove of primary source documents for teachers of science, society or literature.
