4. How does the Scientific Revolution begin?
The Scientific Revolution is the final break with Europe’s medieval past in a shift of scientific thinking.

6. 1. Nicolas Copernicus (1473-1543)
Major contributions:
Creates the heliocentric theory
Sun at the center of solar system (helio = “sun”)
Rejects geocentric theory (earth at the center of universe)

7. 1. Nicolas Copernicus Impact of contributions:
Goes against the geocentric theory, which was accepted by the Catholic Church and society in general
Helped promote study of the planets

8. 2. Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) Major contributions:
Supported the heliocentric theory
Used the telescope to observe planets and stars
Wrote “Starry Messenger”
Galileo Galilei did not invent the telescope but was the first to use it systematically to observe celestial objects and record his discoveries. His book, Sidereus nuncius or The Starry Messenger was first published in 1610 and made him famous.

9. 2. Galileo Galilei Impact of contribution(s):
Not first to use telescope, but first to use it to see planets/stars
Provided support for heliocentric theory
Conflict with the Catholic
Church (goes on trial)
Image:

10. 3. Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) Major contribution(s):
Discovered planets orbit the sun in ovals

11. 3. Johannes Kepler Impact of contribution(s):
Realized planets orbited in an oval NOT in a circle around the sun
Supports heliocentric theory
Image:

12. 4. William Harvey (1578-1657) Major contribution(s):
Discovered the circulation of the blood going from the heart to the extremities

13. 4. William Harvey Impact of the contribution(s):
Wrote book “On the Motion of the Heart and Blood”
Now we know that blood doesn’t just jump from pore to pore under the skin
Image:

14. 5. Isaac Newton (1642-1726) Major contribution(s):
Laws of physics (inertia, gravity, etc.)
Laid foundations for the study of mechanics, mathematics (calculus)

15. 5. Isaac Newton Impact of contribution(s): Image:
Advanced scientific thought
His studies on gravity helped prove the heliocentric theory to doubters
Image:

16. 6. Rene Descartes (1596-1650) and Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626)
Major contribution(s):
Developed scientific method
Focused on scientific inquiry

17. 6. Rene Descartes/Sir Francis Bacon
Impact of contribution(s):
Impacted scientific procedures
Show the growth of science and reason in the face of Catholic Church
Image:

Why is all of this important? Why do these people matter?
Emphasized _____________________________________ and _______________________________ observations
Created the _____________________________ Revolution
Expanded scientific ______________________________

19. ACTIVITY: Scientific Revolution Learning Menu
You will be working on a series of activities related to the Scientific Revolution. Consider these activities to be part of a “learning menu” for the Scientific Revolution.
Your “main course”: Scientific Revolution “playing” cards
Your “side dishes” (choose 1):
1. Timeline of important scientific advancements (use timeline.html)
2. Twitter timeline for a Scientific Revolution individual
Your “dessert”: Impact of Scientific Revolution advancements comparison worksheet

20. Main Dish: Scientific Revolution Players Baseball Cards
For the first ~25 minutes of our “learning menu” work time, you will work on the baseball cards. There is one card for each person we discussed in our notes today.
Using the laptops and your phones (if you have a working phone, don’t take a laptop until the people who need one have one), you will look up THREE (3) important facts about each person. These facts CANNOT be repeated information from your notes.
When you are done with the cards, please show them to Ms. Allen or Ms. Borg to receive your choice of “side dishes” for today’s menu.

21. Side Dishes: Scientific Revolution Timeline or Twitter Page
Timeline Activity
Twitter Page Activity
Using the timeline sheet you picked up, you will fill in SIX (6) important events related to the Scientific Revolution.
Use this link to help you:
DO NOT just copy the events. You must read through all of them (there are more than 6) and choose what you think are the 6 most important.
Then, summarize the event into 1-2 sentences.
You have learned about 6 (7 if you split up Descartes and Bacon) different scientists and advancements made during the Sci. Rev.
For the Twitter page, you need to pick ONE (1) of these people and design a Twitter page for them.
What to include:
- Twitter profile picture
- Twitter handle
- Six people they follow (mid. left on page)
- Four tweets they would have sent
- Three trending topics of the time period

22. Dessert: Scientific Revolution Impact Chart
If you finish with your main course and your chosen side dish, you will be working on the impact chart. You can pick that up from Ms. Allen or from Ms. Borg when you show us your completed side dish.
This will also be worked on/reviewed as a Bellringer on Friday.
