The Scientific Revolution  By the 1500’s scientists and educated people began to question many long held beliefs  The Scientific Revolution is defined by a desire for truth that led to careful research, experimentation and important new discoveries

View of the Universe Before the Scientific Revolution … People believed that the Earth was the center of the universe  This is known as the Geocentric Theory Greek philosophers such as Ptolemy and Aristotle taught the Geocentric Theory The Catholic Church also supported this theory  God created man and placed him on Earth, therefore Earth is the center of the universe

Views of the Universe Continued … After the Scientific Revolution … Johannes Kepler  German Astronomer who discovered the Laws of Planetary Motion  Used mathematics to show that the planets traveled in oval- shaped orbits around the sun  Unlike popular belief that they travelled in circular paths

Laws of Motion and Gravity Before the Scientific Revolution … Aristotle  taught that things were made of either “heavy elements” or “light elements”  Objects made of earth and water were heavy and fell to the ground  Lighter elements such as air and fire rose upward to the heavens  Also believed that air is what caused things to move

Laws of Motion and Gravity Continued After the Scientific Revolution … Sir Isaac Newton- mathematician and scientist who had new theories on motion 1. Laws of motion were the same for Earth and all other parts of the universe 2. Law of gravity causes objects to fall to the Earth.  Gravity is also what causes planets to revolve around the sun 3. Law of inertia states 1. An object will remain in the same place until an outside forces causes it to move 2. A moving object will continue to move until an outside force causes it to stop
