Title: Discussion Forum 3.1 - Translating Sir Robert Boyle
Course: BC - Chemistry 12 - 1.0

Sir Robert Boyle is considered one of the founders of modern chemistry and was instrumental in the development of the scientific method. Read his quote below, and then write your own translation of Boyle's words as if you were explaining to a kindergarten student.

When with bold telescopes I survey the old and newly discovered stars and planets, when with excellent microscopes I discern the inimitable subtlety of nature's curious workmanship; and when, in a word, by the help of anatomical knives, and the light of chemical furnaces, I study the book of nature, I find myself oftentimes reduced to exclaim with the Psalmist, ”How manifold are Thy works, O Lord! In wisdom hast Thou made them all!” (Sir Robert Boyle [father of modern chemistry], as cited in Woodall 1997, 32).
