Greek Scientists – Hippocrates

Owls’ Science topic this half term is linked to our History topic on the Ancient Greeks. We have been looking at Ancient Greek scientists and the contribution they made to our modern understanding of science. This week, we looked at Hippocrates – “the father of modern medicine”. We watched a video, answered questions and then presented our learning in an attractive way. We learnt that Hippocrates was the first person to keep records of his interactions with patients to allow some diseases to be identified. He was the first to realise that diseases had a natural or scientific cause and was also the first to advocate for preventative medicine. The children presented and explained their learning beautifully. Well done Owls!
