What was the Scientific Revolution? A 100
It was an era when a series of birth led to the birth of modern science. A 100
During what time did the Scientific Revolution occur? A 200
It began in roughly 1543 and ended in the 1700s. A 200
How did ancient Greeks influence the scientific revolution? A 300
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? A 400
Their translation of ancient Greek writings preserved ancient knowledge. A 400
Whose book was thought to have marked the beginning of the Scientific Revolution? A 500
Nicolaus Copernicus. A 500
What is the difference between heliocentric and geocentric? B 100
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. B 200
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? B 400
He was concerned about the Church's reaction and facing religious persecution. B 400
Contrast Brahe and Kepler’s models of the solar system. B 500
BraheKepler 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.
He discovered that light was made up of a spectrum of color. C 100
