14. Scientific Revolution
Radical change in thinking about the natural world based on questioning and observations.

15. Inventions that led to new discoveries in science.
Telescope: Galileo
Microscope: Anton Leeuwenhoek
Thermometer: Gabriel Fahrenheit and Anders Celsius
Barometer: Evangelista Torricelli

16. What was the center of the Universe?

17. Middle Ages View Geocentric Theory: Earth Centered Theory
Church and bible approved

18. Scientific Revolution View
Heliocentric Theory:
Sun centered theory
Theory proposed by Copernicus, supported by Galileo and Kepler
Angered church

19. How do planets move?

20. Middle Ages View Planets move in Perfect circles.
Planets move the same speed no matter where they are in relation to the sun.

21. Scientific Revolution View
Planets move in elliptical orbits.
Planets move faster
closer to sun.
How quick planets move around the sun depends on their distance from sun.
Keplerian Theory

22. What methods of discovery did they have?

23. Middle Ages View Relied on Ancient Greek and Romans
Relied on the word of the Bible

24. Scientific Revolution View
Scientific Method
State Question
Form Hypothesis (guess)
Experiment
Look at data and form conclusion.

25. Which falls faster; heavy or light objects?

26. Middle Ages View
Thought heavy objects fell faster than lighter objects.

27. Scientific Revolution Views
Galileo discovered objects fall at the same speed.
Sir Isaac Newton later explained why with his laws of motion and universal gravity.

28. But why does a feather fall slower than a hammer?
Because of wind resistance. If there was no air, objects would fall at a constant speed.

29. What did they know about human anatomy?

30. Middle Ages View
Thought human anatomy was the same as animals such as pigs, sheep, goats, and apes.
Knowledge from Ancient Greek Physician Galen, who only dissected animals.

31. Scientific Revolution View
Vesalius showed human anatomy was different than animals’ anatomy.
His book, On the Fabric of the Human Body, illustrated the body.

32. How did blood flow through the body?

33. Middle Ages View Thought blood flowed from the liver.
*Actually, the liver is the largest internal organ of the human body. It produces bile for digestion.

34. Scientific Revolution View
English doctor William Harvey, showed blood flowed through the heart since it was a pump that circulated blood through the body.

35. What were the planet’s made of?

36. Middle Ages View
Thought the moon and the stars were made of pure, eternal substances that were smooth and perfect
No they did not believe the moon was made of Cheese. That was only you!

37. Scientific Revolution Views
With the use of the telescope astronomers found the sun has dark spots and the moon’s surface is rough and uneven.
