  1. 14.2 (Part 1) The Scientific Revolution

  2. The Scientific Revolution • It was not until the 1500s and 1600s that most people in Europe began to appreciate what science and technology could do to improve life.

  3. A New View of Science • Between 1540 and 1700, European views about how to study the world changed. • This change was part of the Scientific Revolution: (the series of events that led to the birth of modern science.) • People began placing more importance on what they observed and less on what they were told. • They used their observations to come up with logical explanations for how the world worked.

  4. Science and Religion • Church officials feared the increasing influence of science in society. • They tended to oppose science when it went against the teachings of the church. • For example, the church taught that Earth was at the center of the universe where some scientists observed that Earth actually orbited the sun.

  5. The church did everything it could to protect its’ teachings. • In 1632, an Italian scientist named Galileo published a book in which he stated that Earth orbited the sun. • He was arrested and put on trial and to protect himself he said that his writings were wrong.

  6. Many scientists saw a connection between science and religion. • They thought that science could better explain church teachings.

  7. Discoveries and Inventions • With increased interest in science came discoveries in astronomy, biology, physics and other fields. • Astronomers discovered how the stars and planets move in the sky. • Biologists learned how blood circulates throughout the human body. • Physicists figured out how mirrors and pendulums worked.

  8. Sir Isaac Newton made some of the greatest advances of the Scientific Revolution. • He is best known for his observations about gravity, the force that attracts objects to each other.

  9. Many of the discoveries of the Scientific Revolution were possible because of new inventions. • Devices such as the telescope, the microscope, and the thermometer were invented during this time.
