  1. Scientific Revolution

  2. Expermentation • Relied on Greek and Roman explanations • Renaissance thinkers started to question these theories • Developed Scientific Method:

  3. Sciences/Mathematics & Instruments • Calculus, astronomy, physics, & anatomy = major discoveries • Instruments - Barometer – measure air pressure - Microscope – investigate small objects - Telescope – see distant objects - Thermometer – temperature

  4. Nicolaus Copernicus (1473 – 1543) • Astronomer • Heliocentric (sun – centered) model of the solar system • Went against Aristotle’s & Ptolemy’s geocentric (earth – centered) theory • Few believed his theory

  5. Johannes Kepler (1571 – 1630) • Developed laws of planetary motion - Elliptical orbits

  6. Galileo Galilei (1564 – 1642) • Italian astronomer • Telescope • 1610 published findings • Church calls findings heresy - forced to recant his findings • Gravity and speed of fallen objects - all objects fall at same speed w/o air friction

  7. Isaac Newton (1643 – 1728) • Laws of universal gravitation - Universe viewed as a large machine, operating according to certain rules

  8. Anatomy • Andreas Vesalius, 1543 - Published several volumes filled with descriptions and illustrations of body systems • William Harvey, 1628 - Circulatory system and importance of the heart

  9. Biology - Chemistry • Antoni Leeuwenhook - discovered bacteria using a microscope • Study of Chemistry - composition of matter & how it changes - elements being identified

  10. Rene Descartes (1596 – 1650) • All assumptions should be questioned • “I think therefore I am” • Discourse of Method, 1637 - Only certain things are true w/o facts to prove them • Use of reason --- rationalism

  11. Francis Bacon (1561 – 1626) • Lots of Experimentation • Inductive thinking - Specific observation to general assumptions - Ex: Ice is cold, All ice is cold

  12. Spread of Knowledge

  14. Read the following passage and answer the related questions. With sincere heart and unpretended faith I abjure, curse, and detest the aforesaid errors and heresies [of Copernicus] and also every other error….contrary to the Holy Church, and I swear that in the future I will never again say or assert….anything that might cause a similar suspicion toward me. Galileo Galileias quoted in “The Discoverers” _____1. What suspicion is it he wants to prevent? A. That he agrees with the church B. That he disagrees with the church C. That he is a god _____2. Why is he apologizing? A. Because he has said something contrary to the church B. Because he left the church C. He is dying _____3. What does “contrary” mean? A. Goes along with B. Agrees with C. Does not go along with _____4. What does he promise NOT to do? A. Say or do anything that goes against the church B. Believe in the church C. Join or forgive the church _____5. What scientist did Galileo support that got him into trouble? A. Copernicus B. Galilei C. Holy Church _____6. What word was NOT used to describe Galileo’s feeling? A. Detest B. Error C. Sad _____7. What would this be considered? • An apology B. A poem C. A song True or False ____________________8. Galileo is apologizing for his beliefs in this statement. ____________________9. Galileo promises to continue his research – even if it is contrary to the church. ____________________10. The Church liked with Galileo’s work.
