Changing View of the World
In 1543, Polish scholar Nicolas Copernicus proposed a heliocentric, or sun-centered, model of the universe. Most rejected this theory because it went against church teachings. In the late 1500s, Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe provided evidence that supported Copernicus. After his death, his assistant German mathematician Johannes Kepler made calculations that also supported Copernicus. His theory was finally accepted by experts after Galileo Galilei’s invention called the telescope showed the observations were true. He was condemned by the church as well.

* The Scientific Method
Systematic approach to problem- solving. Characterized by distinct steps of hypothesis, experiment, observe, calculation, and conclusion. (page 366)
7
Newton Ties It All Together
By the age of 24, he developed a brilliant theory to explain why the planets moved as they did. Using mathematics, he showed that a single force (gravity) keeps the planets in their orbits around the sun. His laws were observed for over 200 years until the early 1900s.

The Scientific Revolution
Copernicus 1543, Polish scholar, proposed heliocentric (sun-centered) model of universe Galileo 1630s, Italian, used telescope to prove Copernicus’ theory Newton 1687, English, Gravity, Inertia, Motion/Movement, Physics… Bacon English, Experimentation and Observation Descartes French, Human reasoning is the best way to understand, (use your brain!), “I think, therefore I am.”
10
Causes of the Scientific Revolution
The Renaissance fueled a rebirth of learning and inspired curiosity ! Astronomers and scholars began to question ideas that had been accepted for hundreds of years! Reformation prompted followers to change accepted ideas! The Printing Press!
11
III. Causes of the Scientific Revolution
Medieval Intellectual Life and Medieval Universities The Italian Renaissance Renewed emphasis on mathematics Renaissance system of patronage Navigational problems of long sea voyages Better scientific instruments
12
I. The Aristotelian Universe
Derived from Ptolemy, Aristotle, and Plato Classical Writings “Christianized” Components of Medieval Cosmology Medieval Physics Belief in “Matter” and “Form” Earth = Living, Protected Sphere
13
A. Copernicus (1473-1543) Heliocentric Theory Sun-centered universe
Believed that the EARTH TRAVELS AROUND THE SUN! On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres (1543)
14
D. Galileo Galilei ( ) Was famous for constructing a big telescope He discovers mountains on the moon, sunspots, moons orbiting Jupiter Gets locked up by Church Threatened with Death, he recants his discoveries.
15
E. Isaac Newton (1642-1727) Discovered Gravity
Argues for a universe governed by natural laws Principia; Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy (1687)
16
F. Francis Bacon (1561-1626) Stressed experimentation and observation!
Emphasis on practical, useful knowledge
17
G. Rene Descartes ( ) Believed in using human reasoning to find scientific truth Father of “analytical geometry”
18
Jethro Tull Made scientific advancements in agriculture!
For example, created the seed drill!
19
IV. Consequences of the Scientific Revolution
Rise of the “Scientific Community” --Royal Society of London (1662) --Academy of Royal Sciences (1666) The modern scientific method A universe ordered according to natural laws
20
IV. Consequences of the Scientific Revolution (cont)
Laws discovered by human reason “De-Spiritualized” and de-mystified the Universe Mechanical View of the Universe Deistic View of God --God as the cosmic capitalist
21
More Scientific Advances
Chemistry: Robert Boyle distinguished between individual elements and chemical compounds. His work opened a modern chemical analysis of the composition of matter. Medicine: Andreas Vesalius published the first accurate and detailed study of human anatomy. French physician Ambrose Pare, developed a new and more effective ointment for preventing infection. English scholar William Harvey described the circulation of the blood for the first time.
22
Summary: The Scientific Revolution was a time of profound change beginning in the mid-1500s that was shaped by a new way of thinking about the physical universe, and how the world around us works.
23
Renaissance, Reformation, Revolution Review:
Humanism: Focus on the world around us, how it works, and asking the question “why?” Science & Technology: Looking for an explanation of how/why things work, and how to improve them, scientific method, printing press Art: Realism, anatomy, shading, perspective Literature: “How To” books (The Prince), ideals, history. Human behavior, Shakespeare, …

Questions to Answer: Packet Review:
Define “Renaissance” Why did it start in Italy? What’s Humanism? How did it “fuel” the Renaissance? Who’s Machiavelli? What’d he write? What’d it say? Martin Luther (Protest & Reform)? What’s the deal with the Printing Press? Explain the Scientific Method. Who are: the Medici’s, da Vinci, Shakespeare, Henry VIII, Galileo, Newton, Descartes, Bacon … Packet Review: All Multiple Choice Review Questions at the end of the packet Book Review Page 369 “Analyzing Tables” #1-3 Page 368 “Reviewing Facts” #1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10
