Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
Archimedes Principle of Buoyancy is one of his most famous calculations. What else is he famous for? How about the catapult, a light-focusing mirror to burn invading ships, the Archimedes screw, and several math theorems? Read a short biography of him here (http://www.famousscientists.org/archimedes/) and here (http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/32808/Archimedes). History says that Archimedes, so focused on his math calculations, that when confronted by a Roman soldier to leave, refused and was killed.
