Why was Charles I death significant? Who took over after Charles I? What did he do during his rule? What did William and Mary Sign? Bell Ringer
2
Begin on the Scientific Revolution - Flash back of Ancient ideas - Clash with new ideas How did the Age of Explorations influence the Scientific Revolution? Names and theories New Ideas conflict with Church Ideas Scientific Method and scientist Agenda/Objectives

1550 - 1789

5
How do you think people thought of science? What do you think was being taught? Who was doing the teaching? Who was doing the research? Thinking of the Middle Ages
6
Middle Ages: - Earth was an unmoving object. - Sun, moon, and stars moved around the earth. - Heaven was beyond the stars. Roots of Modern Science
7
Geocentric Theory – Earth was the center of the universe. - Idea came from Aristotle (Greek philosopher 4 th century B.C.E.) Christianity taught that God deliberately placed earth at the center of the universe. True or False based on the Bible. Roots of Modern Science
8
A new way of thinking about the natural world; based upon careful observation and a willingness to question accepted beliefs. - Mid 1500s, a few scholars published works challenging the church and ancient thinkers. Scientific Revolution:

What helped the spread: - Muslim Scholars work translated by European Scholars. - Studied ancient views and current views Found that ancient authorities often did not agree with each other. - Discovery of new people, plants, and animals in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Opened ideas to possible new truths. Scientific Revolution
11
The Printing Press Who invented the Printing Press? Johannes Gutenberg Who gave him the idea of the invention? The Chinese What helped spread the ideas of the Scientific Revolution?
12
Why do you think??? Expanded Astronomy and Mathematics. Needed better navigation. Reached Ancient limits and needed to know more. Explorations fuels Revolution
13
What major theory came from the Scientific Revolution that changed the world? Who came up with that theory? Quick thinking
14
Nicolaus Copernicus came up with theory. Sun is the center of the universe. - Earth, planets, and stars revolved around sun. What is wrong about this theory? Stars do not revolve around sun. Heliocentric Theory
15
Nicolaus Copernicus
16
Heliocentric Theory
17
Feared persecution and rejection did not publish ideas until 1543. Book: On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies - Stirred little controversies at first. Copernicus
18
Built an observatory and recorded his observations. Collected data about planets and their movements, but didn't make any mathematical sense of it His findings sided with Copernicus. Tycho Brahe
19
Continued the work of Tycho Brahe. Concluded mathematical laws govern planetary motion. Kepler’s laws proved Copernicus to be true. Johannes Kepler
20
Galileo Galilei
21
Challenged old ideas: - Aristotle's idea that heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects.---- proved it wrong Made improvements to the telescope and used it in 1609. Galileo Galilei
22
1610 Published newsletter Starry Messenger. Announced: - Jupiter had 4 moons - Sun had dark spots - Earth’s moon had a rough and uneven surface Shattered Aristotle's theory that moons and stars were made of pure and perfect substance. Laws of Motion and other theories supported Copernicus. Galileo
23
Galileo’s ideas were most accepted because he was able to prove his findings through the telescope. - He was able to have Copernicus’s ideas accepted through his findings as well. Copernicus and Galileo
24
Why would the church have issues with these new ideas? Conflict with the Church
25
Both Catholics and Protestants frightened by these ideas. People may question the teachings and authority of the church. 1633 – Galileo stood trial and under threat of torture read aloud a confession agreeing his ideas and Copernicus ideas were false. Died in 1642 under house arrest. Conflict with the Church
