SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION

How did the new scientific revolution change the way people viewed the world?

- Made people believe in scientific reasoning for answers of life rather than finding answers through religion

What was the Scientific Revolution and what benefit did the Scientific Revolution bring?

-Led scientists to question traditional beliefs about the workings of the universe - Scientific method uses observation and experimentation to explain theories on the workings of the universe -Removed blind adherence to tradition from science, and allowed scientists to logically find answers through the use of reason -Basis of modern science - BENEFITS: advancements in chemistry, medicine, machinery, astronomy, and mathematics, push towards equality between men and women on intelligence, led people to think for themselves and not blindly accept what the church taught them→ questioning, innovation → free thinking

Microscope-

1600s Dutch scientist Antony van Leeuwenhoek developed magnifying lens to invent microscope, machine used to examine things on a microscopic level, led to many advancements in study

Wrote On the Workings of the Human Body-

Andreas Vesalius, 1543

What conflict existed between the Church and the Scientific Thinkers?

BEFORE, PEOPLE AGREED WITH WHAT CHURCH SAID EVEN THOUGH NO PROOF (FACTS) , BUT NOW PEOPLE QUESTIONED THE CHURCH DUE TO NEW DISCOVERIES AND KNOWLEDGE: THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION.

Coined the term 'cell'-

English physicist and inventor Robert Hooke, describe the appearance of plants at a microscopic level, many achievements in physics and mathematics, coined the term 'cell'

Sir Isaac Newton-

English scientist, brought together astronomy, physics, and mathematics, wondered if gravity affected the universe the way that it affected objects on earth, 1687 Newton published, The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, (Principia), explained his law of universal gravitation, developed a new kind of mathematics called calculus: used to predict the effects of gravity. (German philosopher Gottfried von Leibniz → calculus, accused each other of plagiarism, feuded)

Andreas Vesalius-

Flemish doctor, known for his work in anatomy at the University of Padua in Italy, 1543 wrote On the Workings of the Human Body

Invented the 1st periodic table-

French chemist Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier, developed methods for precise measurements in 1700s

Discovered the metric system-

French chemist Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier, to organize data, developed methods for precise measurements in 1700s

Johannes Kepler-

German mathematician, Brahe's assistant, first astronomer to prove that the planets orbited the sun in an oval pattern, or ellipse.

Father of Modern Chemistry-

Robert Boyle, defined atoms and first element

Scientific Method-

Scientists eventually developed a new approach to investigation and discovery, five basic steps: identify a problem, form a hypothesis (that can be tested), perform experiments (to test the hypothesis), record the results of the experiments, analyze the results of the experiments, form a conclusion that either proves or disproves the hypothesis

Scientific Revolution-

mid-1500s, scholars began to challenge traditional authorities, posed theories about the natural world and developed procedures to test those ideas, new way of thinking

What new advances were made in the study of human anatomy?

William Harvey: human heart 1600s, described how blood and circulatory system functioned Antony van Leeuwenhoek: developed magnifying lens to invent the microscope, first person to find bacteria, red blood cells, yeast, and other microorganisms

William Harvey-

observed and explained the workings of the human heart in the early 1600s, described how blood and the circulatory system functioned

Galileo Galilei-

supported Copernican theory, an Italian scientist, built the first telescope used for astronomy in 1609, first scientist to observe Saturn, the craters on the moon, sunspots, and the moons of Jupiter, discovered that the Milky Way was made up of stars, 1610 Starry Messenger.

Geocentric-

the belief that the Earth was at the center of the universe, Aristotle

Heliocentric-

the universe revolves around the sun, Copernicus

Brahe-

a Danish astronomer, bright object in sky over Denmark 1572, wrote book proving it was a newly visible star far away, called it supernova, book impressed King Frederick II of Denmark, gave Brahe money to build two observatories, developed system to explain planetary movement, believed that the sun revolved around the earth, but that the other five known planets in the solar system revolved around the sun, hired German mathematician Johannes Kepler as assistant, needed help to form a mathematical theory from the detailed measurements he made of the planets

Nicolaus Copernicus-

early 1500s Polish astronomer, developed heliocentric theory

Robert Boyle-

father of modern chemistry, first chemist to define an element, 1661 The Sceptical Chemist, described matter as a cluster of tiny particles (now called atoms or molecules), stated that changes in matter happened when these clusters were rearranged; Boyle's law describes how temperature, volume, and pressure affect gases

Rene Descartes-

important scholar who helped develop the scientific method, emphasis on reason, believed that everything should be doubted until it could be proven by reason, relied on mathematics and logic to prove basic truths.

Sir Francis Bacon-

important scholar who helped develop the scientific method, wrote in 1620 that the only true way to gain scientific knowledge was through experimentation—observing, measuring, explaining, and verifying

How did technological innovations help scientists make new discoveries?

They could easily conduct accurate experiments and collect accurate data.
