During what time did the Scientific Revolution occur?

It began in roughly 1543 and ended in the 1700s.

How did ancient Greeks influence the scientific revolution?

Scientists looked towards the theories of Greek rationalists and continued to use logic to explain the world around them. A 300

What role did Muslims play in the Scientific Revolution?

Their translation of ancient Greek writings preserved ancient knowledge.

Whose book was thought to have marked the beginning of the Scientific Revolution?

What is the difference between heliocentric and geocentric?

Heliocentric models of the universe place the sun in the middle of the solar system with planets orbiting around it. Geocentric models show the earth as the unmoving center of the solar system. B 100

According to Kepler, planets move in this kind of orbit.

elliptical B 200

Why was Galileo Galielei known as the father of experimental science? B 300

He was the first person to frequently use experiments to test his theories. B 300

Make an inference: why didn’t Copernicus want to publish his book?

He was concerned about the Church's reaction and facing religious persecution.

Contrast Brahe and Kepler’s models of the solar system.

Believed the earth did not move. Brahe Kepler Believed the earth did not move. Combination of Geo and Heliocentric models. Studied the orbit of Mars. Believed the earth rotated around the sun. Heliocentric model. Discovered elliptical orbits. Used data about Mars’ orbit to prove elliptical orbits. B 500

He discovered that light was made up of a spectrum of color.

Sir Isaac Newton C 100

Why were Newton’s laws important to modern science?

His laws explained how the physical world works.

Newton explained why objects fall by writing his laws on…
