Long ago, weather was a mystery. People thought the gods made the weather. The ancient
Greeks believed the god Zeus sent lightning bolts to the earth when he got angry. People believed the myths because they had no other way to understand weather. No one knew
how to measure heat, cold, or wind.

In 1564, Galileo Galilei was bo in Italy. He was interested in many things. He could paint and
play music, but he also loved science. He solved the mystery of how to measure heat and cold. He did this by making the first thermometer. His work and his life led others to study science, too.
