Scientific Revolution

DESCRIPTION

The Scientific Revolution from the 1600s to early 1700s marked a significant shift in scientific thought and methodology. Pioneered by thinkers like René Descartes, this period laid the groundwork for modern formal logic and the scientific method. This process involves defining a question, conducting research, forming a hypothesis, executing a structured experiment, collecting data, making observations, and drawing conclusions. Key advancements included the discovery of the principles of matter, cellular biology, the existence of capillaries, and the invention of critical tools such as telescopes and thermometers, reshaping our understanding of the natural world.

  1. Scientific Revolution 1600s to early 1700s

  2. Beginning of Revolution • Rene Descartes created the ground works for modern formal logic and revitalized the ancient concept of scientific method.

  3. Scientific Method • Process scientist use to execute an experiment. • Question – What does the scientist want to learn more about? • Research – Gather information • Hypothesis – an “educated” guess of a answer to the question

  4. Scientific Method • Procedure/Method - Written and carefully followed step-by-step experiment designed to test the hypothesis • Data – Information collected during the experiment • Observations – Written description of what was noticed during the experiment • Conclusion – Was the hypothesis correct or incorrect?

  5. New Discoveries in Science • Types of matter: liquid, solid, or gas • Whether light consists of waves or particles • Living creatures are made of cells • Existence of capillaries(body) • Concept of a vacuum • Creation of the science of statistics

  6. Improvements in Science • Telescopes • Microscopes • Pendulum Clock • Thermometer • Barometer
