What could be some things I could use for a school project to represent Aristotle?

Answer 1

You could bring several things:

• firstly, a detective novel. Aristotle is considered the father of deductive reasoning and analysis, coming to a solution by ever further narrowing down your known facts and circumstances and combining them logically ; later made popular by Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie
• secondly, a map of our solar system. Aristotle had worked out long before Copernicus that the Earth was not the centre of the creation, that the Sun must be much bigger than the Earth and that the stars must be much farther away from the Earth than the Sun; basically he defined the concept of the Universe
• a map of the Earth: Aristotle was the first to say that everything on land and sea must be the result of very slow and gradual changes and that these changes continue to happen even if people don't notice
• a camera. Aristotle was the firstto systematically study optics. He pointed out the working of a camera obscura and the diaphragm.
• a Biology book: Aristotle is considered the father of zoology as he was the first to systematically study and categorize fish, plants and animals
• a pillow: Aristotle was the first to conclude that during sleep the brain remained active, but in different ways from when you're awake. He was also the first to notice that a lowered consciousness makes you susceptible to hynosis
• A picture of some happy couple: Aristotle was way ahead of his time and the first to state that men once married, should remain faithful to their wives and see to their happiness.
