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 unknown 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 concepts 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 has simple costume, prop, and set listings. \u003cstrong\u003eEspecially ideal for STEM or STEAM middle and high schools\u003c\/strong\u003e, the stage directions and production notes help students visualize the scene, even if simply being read in class. The \"\u003cstrong\u003eBackground\u003c\/strong\u003e\" before each play gives information about the scientist, that particular aspect of science, or the historical context of the drama to follow. The \"\u003cstrong\u003eAftermath\u003c\/strong\u003e\" 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 the world of science and history as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Hischak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1566082706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781566082709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pioneer Drama Service\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Thomas Hischak","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945152708863,"sku":"9781566082709","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_9bb8f689-498b-4c94-b678-877e5bfed81f.jpg?v=1681507090","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/plays-of-science-invention-thomas-hischak-9781566082709","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
