  1. The Scientific Revolution Chapter 6.1

  2. Scientific Revolution • 1500’s – Scientists begin to question accepted beliefs and make new theories based on experimentation.

  3. Modern Science • The Medieval View • Most knowledge comes from the Bible, Greeks and Romans • Supports Geocentric Theory – moon, sun and planets revolve around the earth

  4. New Way of Thinking • Renaissance creates new ways of thinking • Scientific Revolution – new way of viewing natural world – based on observation and inquiry

  5. New discovery and exploration open up thinking • New developments in astronomy and mathematics

  6. New Model of Universe • Heliocentric – Copernicus’ theory to replace the geocentric view – states that all planets revolve around the sun • Scientists later prove him to be correct

  7. Galileo’s Discoveries • Italian Scientist Galileo Galilei makes important advances in astronomy • Makes discovery about planet surfaces, supports heliocentric theory

  8. Conflict with the Church • Church attacks Galileo’s work, fears it will weaken people’s faith • Pope forces Galileo to declare his and other new findings as wrong

  9. Scientific Method • Logical Approach – New thinking leads to scientific method – series of steps for forming and testing of scientific theories

  10. Bacon and Descartes • Help create scientific method • Bacon urges scientists to experiment before drawing conclusions • Descartes advocates using logic, math to reason out basic truths

  11. Newton’s Law of Gravity • Isaac Newton – English scientist develops theory of motion – states that the same forces rule motion of planets, matter in space, and earth.

  12. Motion in space and earth linked by the law of Universal Gravitation – holds that every object in universe attracts every other object • Newton views universe as a vast, perfect mechanical clock

  13. Revolution Spreads • Scientific Instruments • Scientists develop microscope, barometer, and thermometer • New data is achieved and new and better observation leads to new discoveries

  14. Medicine and the Human body • New research leads to better understanding of anatomy • First vaccination – for smallpox – created by Edward Jenner

  15. Chemistry • Robert Boyle argues that matter is made of many different particles • Boyle’s law reveals interaction of volume, temperature, and gas pressure
