  1. Check In Question What is the scientific method and how have you used it in science class in the past?

  2. HOMEWORK Pgs. 491-499, 640-643 Test on MONDAY!!!

  3. SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION EQ: How did the Renaissance and Protestant Reformation influence the development of the Scientific Revolution?

  4. SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION • Definition: historical changes in thought & beliefthat unfolded in Europe between roughly 1550-1700

  5. GEOCENTRISM

  6. Copernicus • Polish clergyman interested in astronomy & mathematics…studied in Italian university • Earth is not stationary • The sun “sits upon a royal throne…ruling his children, the planets which circle around him” • Church says it’s “unbiblical”

  7. HELIOCENTRISM

  8. Kepler • Student of Brahe • Three laws of planetary motion: • Ellipses • Velocity varies • Physical relationship between moving planets can be expressed mathematically

  9. Galileo • Principle of inertia • Used homemade telescope to prove Copernicus’ hypotheses • Published his findings in 1610…church is NOT pleased • Tries again in 1632 w/ Dialogue on the Two Chief Systems of the World • Opponents of Copernican system are simpletons

  10. Trial of Galileo

  11. Newton • Developed Calculus • Formulated and mathematically described three laws of motion: inertia, acceleration, action/reaction • Laws of attraction/Gravitation

  12. Instruments • Microscope • Anton van Leeuwenhoek • Looked at lake water and his own saliva • Telescope • Barometer • Thermometer

  13. Medicine • Paracelsus • Book of Nature • Look for chemical imbalances to explain illness • Natural remedies for bodily disorders • Vesalius • Dissected cadavers to better understand human anatomy • Harvey • Human heart works like a pump

  14. Chemistry • Robert Boyle • All matter is composed of indestructible atoms that behave in particular ways • Law governing pressure of gasses • Pressure of gas decreases as volume of gas increases (Boyle’s Law)

  15. Scientific Method • State the problem/question • Gather information (research) • Form a hypothesis • Test your hypothesis by doing an experiment • Analyze the data • State a conclusion & communicate Your Results
