    xiv Introduction

    3.

    What is the importance of this discovery to the development of that specific field
    of science?

    4.

    Has this discovery had long-term effects on human development? Has its impact
    filtered down to our daily lives?

    5.

    Is this a discovery within a recognized field of science? Is it a science discovery?

    6.

    Am I adequately representing the breadth and diversity of the many fields,


    subfields, and specialties of science?

    7.

    Can this discovery be correctly credited to one individual and to one event or to
    one prolonged research effort?

    There are many worthy discoveries and many worthy scientists that did not make the
    final cut to be represented here. All of them are worthy of study and of acclaim. Find your
    own favorites and research them and their contributions (see Appendix 3 for additional
    suggestions).
    Several entries include two discoveries because they are closely linked and because
    neither alone qualifies as one of the 100 greatest. However, considered collectively, they
    take on an importance far greater than their individual impact would suggest.
    Enjoy these stories. Revel in the wisdom and greatness of these discoveries. Search for
    your own favorites. Then research them and create your own discovery stories to share!

    How to Use This Book


    This book provides a wealth of information onobviouslyscience discoveries, but
    also on the process of doing science, and glimpses into the lives of the many fascinating
    people who have advanced our scientific knowledge.
    Use the book as a reference for science units and lessons focused on different aspects
    of, or fields of science. Use it to introduce units on discoveries, or on the process of doing
    science. Use it as a reference for science biography research. Use it as an introduction to the
    process of discovery and the process of conducting scientific study. Use it for fun reading.
    Each entry is divided into four sections. An introductory section defines the discovery
    and lists its name, year of discovery, and discovering scientist. This is followed by a brief
    justification for placing this discovery on the greatest 100 list (Why Is This One of the 100
    Greatest?).
    The body of each entry (How Was It Discovered?) focuses on how the discovery
    was made. These sections provide a look at the process of science and will help students appreciate the difficulty of, the importance of, and the process of scientific discovery. Following this discussion, I have included a Fun Fact (an intriguing fact related to the subject of the
    discovery) and a few selected references. More general references are listed at the back of
    the book.
    Following the 100 discovery entries, I have included three appendixes and a list of
    general references. The list of the 100 discoveries by their field of science (Appendix 1), an
    alphabetical list of all mentioned scientists (Appendix 2), and a list of The Next 40 (Appendix 3). This is a list of 40 important discoveries that just missed inclusion on my 100
    Greatest list and is an important source list for additional discoveries for students to research and discover for themselves.
