  2. The World Before the Scientific Revolution • An era of Alchemists who used spells and formulas to try to change one substance from another. • People relied on religious teachings and the works of classical Greek and Roman thinkers to explain the mysteries of nature.

  3. Why is the Scientific Revolution called a Revolution? • The Renaissance encouraged curiosity, investigation, discovery, and the practical application of nature. The Scientific Revolution took those concepts and organized them by using experiments and mathematics. • Example: The difference between English/SocStud vs. Math/Science • A revolution (from the Latin revolutio, "a turn around") is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time. • The Scientific Revolution changed man's thought process. How did we move from the Renaissance to a Revolution?

  4. So What Changed during the Scientific Revolution? • The Scientific Revolution was a new way of looking at why things happened, making observations, and uses three new tools: • Scientific Instruments • Mathematics • Experiments • They would use new tools such as a barometer, microscope, telescope, and thermometer to measure and then drew conclusions about what they observed – called the Scientific Method.
