1. The Scientific Revolution

2. Scientific Method five-step process used to investigate scientific hypotheses 1.identify a problem 2.form a testable hypothesis 3.experiment 4.record experiment results 5.analyze results to form a conclusion

3. The Scientific Revolution and Method led to major advances in a variety of areas.

4. Discoveries in Astronomy, Physics, and Math Nicholas Copernicus mid-1500s Developed mathematical proof of heliocentric theory (HT)

5. Discoveries in Astronomy, Physics, and Math Brahe Astronomer 1572 Idea of supernova

6. Discoveries in Astronomy, Physics, and Math Johannes Kepler Late 1500s Proved that planets orbit the sun Used measurements to prove the heliocentric theory (HT)

7. Discoveries in Astronomy, Physics, and Math Galileo Galilei 1609-1610 Built first telescope First to observe Saturn and moons of Jupiter

8. Discoveries in Astronomy, Physics, and Math Isaac Newton 1687 Developed the Law of Universal Gravitation and math to predict effects of gravity
