The Scientific Revolution The Scientific Revolution began in the 1500’s and some consider it to still be occurring today Before the Scientific Revolution … People accepted as truth the teachings of the Catholic Church and writings of ancient scholars People DID NOT conduct scientific experiments or question traditional beliefs
4
The Scientific Revolution By the 1500’s scientists and educated people began to question many long held beliefs The Scientific Revolution is defined by a desire for truth that led to careful research, experimentation and important new discoveries
5
View of the Universe Before the Scientific Revolution … People believed that the Earth was the center of the universe This is known as the Geocentric Theory Greek philosophers such as Ptolemy and Aristotle taught the Geocentric Theory The Catholic Church also supported this theory God created man and placed him on Earth, therefore Earth is the center of the universe
6
View of the Universe Continued … After the Scientific Revolution … People believed that the sun was at the center of the universe This was known as the Heliocentric Theory Nicolaus Copernicus Published Concerning the Revolution of Celestial Spheres Wrote that the planets, including the earth, rotated around the sun
7
View of the Universe Continued … Galileo Supported Copernicus’ theory based on his observations through his invention the telescope Both men were criticized by the Catholic Church Copernicus waited till right before his death to publish his theories Galileo was placed under house arrest for the rest of his life
8
Views of the Universe Continued … After the Scientific Revolution … Johannes Kepler German Astronomer who discovered the Laws of Planetary Motion Used mathematics to show that the planets traveled in oval- shaped orbits around the sun Unlike popular belief that they travelled in circular paths
9
Laws of Motion and Gravity Before the Scientific Revolution … Aristotle taught that things were made of either “heavy elements” or “light elements” Objects made of earth and water were heavy and fell to the ground Lighter elements such as air and fire rose upward to the heavens Also believed that air is what caused things to move
10
Laws of Motion and Gravity Continued After the Scientific Revolution … Sir Isaac Newton- mathematician and scientist who had new theories on motion 1. Laws of motion were the same for Earth and all other parts of the universe 2. Law of gravity causes objects to fall to the Earth. Gravity is also what causes planets to revolve around the sun 3. Law of inertia states 1. An object will remain in the same place until an outside forces causes it to move 2. A moving object will continue to move until an outside force causes it to stop

Medical Science Before the Scientific Revolution … Doctors and university professors knew very little about the human body and how it worked Relied on the teaching of ancient Greek doctor named Galen Very little was known about the world of microscopic life
13
Medical Science Continued … After the Scientific Revolution … Andreas Vesalius “father of anatomy” Studied anatomy by dissecting animals and human beings Made important discoveries about the function of muscles, joints, and internal organs
14
Medical Science Continued … William Harvey Studied the heart and circulation of blood through the body Experiments showed that blood leaves the heart, goes to other parts of the body and returns to the heart Anton van Leeuwenhoek “father of microbiology” Invented the microscope Used the microscope to study microorganisms
15
Science Before the Scientific Revolution … Science was highly unpopular during the Middle Age People relied on simple observations and the Church to try to explain the world around them Did not conduct studies or experiments to try to solve problems
16
Science Continued … After the Scientific Revolution … People began to turn to science to explain the world around them Francis Bacon Urged scientists to regard old beliefs as FALSE Wrote about the importance of experimental science Encouraged the use of carefully organized investigation to find the truth Created the Scientific Method
17
Before and After Scientific Revolution Activity Copy the Before and After T-Chart on page 32 in your notebook
18
Before and After Activity Continued … Before the Scientific RevolutionAfter the Scientific Revolution
19
Before and After Activity Continued … Hanging around the room are several QR codes Each QR code is a different belief or view With your table partner … Scan each QR code and decide whether it was a belief that was held BEFORE or AFTER the Scientific Revolution Then you will place it under the correct heading on your T-Chart in your notebook After you have finished your T-Chart you and your partner will return to your seats and await further instruction
