  1. The Scientific Revolution Unit 10

  2. The Scientific Revolution • The roots of this revolution can be found in the Renaissance with the work of Copernicus, Galileo, Newton and Boyle, and other scientists • Time period- A.D. 1500- A.D. 1800

  3. Scientific Revolution • The Scientific revolution rejected traditional authority and church teachings in favor of the direct observation of nature. • The revolution was based on- • The new scientific method- • In which people observed nature • Made hypotheses (educated guesses)about relationships • And tested their hypotheses through experiments

  4. Summary

  5. Impact • People questioned old beliefs and used careful observations to try to explain nature. • This led to the growth of science

  6. Significant scientists

  7. Copernicus • Copernicus proposed the heliocentric theory- • The Earth revolves around the sun • His work was banned by the Church because it opposed Church doctrine.

  8. Galileo • Galileo invented the telescope; used the telescope to confirm heliocentric theory; the Church tried to get him to recant. • He conducted tests on the motion of objects to find general principles of physics. • Scientists then were able to discover that the motions of objects could be predicted by mathematics

  9. Isaac Newton • Isaac Newton: discovered laws of gravity and motion; these laws were applied to the universe saying that the universe followed fixed laws of nature. • His book Principia Mathematicaconnected speed of falling objects on Earth to the movements of planets. • He reduced all of these patterns to a single formula: • The Law of Gravity.

  10. Robert Boyle • Robert Boyle: “Father of Chemistry” conducted experiments on gases at different temperatures and pressures. • He found gas pressure increased as the volume of the gas decreased. • He also distinguished mixtures from compounds • He was the first to perform controlled experiments and to publish his work in detail
