Ancient civilizations observed their surroundings with incredible accuracy without today's modern tools. Observation has historically been very important in scientific discovery. This program highlights that notion, while stressing that observations made without collecting adequate data can lead to incorrect conclusions. In this program students are encouraged to take a historical journey and picture a world without clocks or calendars.
