1. The Scientific Revolution By: Amanda Smith and Linnea Calzada- Charma

2. Intro to the Scientific Revolution Part of The Enlightenment Changed the way people though and approached science and technology Was not rapid Complex movement with brilliant people but only theories and experiments Poland, Italy, Bohemia, France, and Great Britain

3. Nicolaus Copernicus Lived from 1473-1543 Polish astronomer Developed advances in mathematics and methods of calculation Published On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Sphere

4. Created the Heliocentric solar system Was not accepted by the Church Aristotle and Ptolemy created Geocentric system and was adopted as Church doctrine

5. The Ptolemaic System Almagest (150 C.E.) – explanation of the Earth in the heavens with mathematical astronomy Aristotle worked with physical cosmology

6. Ptolemy worked mathematics Together created theory of Geocentricism (Earth = center of the universe) Geocentricism = more religious belief because they assumed that heavenly matter made planets orbit

7. Tycho Brahe Lived from (1546-1601) Made no major contributions to science Laid groundwork for Kepler’s discoveries Believed in Geocentricism Created scientific instruments to observe planets with the naked eye

8. Johannes Kepler German astronomer Student/assistant of Brahe When Brahe died, Kepler inherited his scientific instruments Supported Heliocentric system Mathematical findings supported elliptical orbits

9. Three Laws of Planetary Motion Kepler used Brahe’s data to write Three Laws of Planetary Motion Elliptical vs. circular Kepler published The New Astronomy (1609) After Kepler’s book, questions arose about how planets stayed in orbit

10. Galileo Galilei Lived from 1564-1642 Italian mathematician and philosopher First to use a telescope created the concept of the universe with mathematics Mathematics regularity

11. Isaac Newton 1642-1727 he established a base for physics 1687 The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy Physical objects moved in mutual attraction (gravity) Proved gravity mathematically
