What was changed? – Scientists turned to using education, reason, and careful observation instead of religion. – Scientists began to re-examining old theories – Development of new fields of study like astronomy and anatomy.

New Form of Study- The Scientific Method New methods to study nature and science – No longer accepted ancient teachings of religious leaders Conclusions based on observation and experimentation

Revolutionary Scientist- Galileo Built telescope Earth moves around the sun Persecuted by the Catholic Church Forced to deny his conclusions Turn and Talk!- Why do you think Galileo was persecuted by the Church?

Revolutionary Scientist- Isaac Newton Mathematics teacher who invented calculus Developed the Law of Gravity Built the foundation of modern astronomy Considered to be one of the greatest scientists of all time

Scientific Achievements Chemistry Discovery! – Air is a mixture of gases Astronomy Discovery! – Johann Kepler – planets follow an elliptical orbit around the sun Medical Achievements! – Vesalius – book on human anatomy from examining dead humans – Harvey – the heart pumps blood through your body

Results of the Scientific Revolution Caused others to question what had been taught in the past Application of the Scientific Method to other areas of learning

Church and Science - Face Off! Church’s Beliefs Believed in a Geocentric solar system (Earth is at the center) Based all beliefs on scriptures and ancient teachings Believed scientific findings which did not support the Church where heresy (against the Church’s beliefs) – Tried scientists who refused to “take back” their findings. Scientific Findings Believed in a Heliocentric solar system (the sun is at the center) Used Scientific Method, reasoning, and experimentation to prove theories Wished to discover answers to questions regarding ancient teachings

Church and Science – Face off!
