SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION • Definition: historical changes in thought & beliefthat unfolded in Europe between roughly 1550-1700
Copernicus • Polish clergyman interested in astronomy & mathematics…studied in Italian university • Earth is not stationary • The sun “sits upon a royal throne…ruling his children, the planets which circle around him” • Church says it’s “unbiblical”
Kepler • Student of Brahe • Three laws of planetary motion: • Ellipses • Velocity varies • Physical relationship between moving planets can be expressed mathematically
Galileo • Principle of inertia • Used homemade telescope to prove Copernicus’ hypotheses • Published his findings in 1610…church is NOT pleased • Tries again in 1632 w/ Dialogue on the Two Chief Systems of the World • Opponents of Copernican system are simpletons
Newton • Developed Calculus • Formulated and mathematically described three laws of motion: inertia, acceleration, action/reaction • Laws of attraction/Gravitation
Instruments • Microscope • Anton van Leeuwenhoek • Looked at lake water and his own saliva • Telescope • Barometer • Thermometer
Medicine • Paracelsus • Book of Nature • Look for chemical imbalances to explain illness • Natural remedies for bodily disorders • Vesalius • Dissected cadavers to better understand human anatomy • Harvey • Human heart works like a pump
Chemistry • Robert Boyle • All matter is composed of indestructible atoms that behave in particular ways • Law governing pressure of gasses • Pressure of gas decreases as volume of gas increases (Boyle’s Law)
Scientific Method • State the problem/question • Gather information (research) • Form a hypothesis • Test your hypothesis by doing an experiment • Analyze the data • State a conclusion & communicate Your Results
