2. Talkin’ bout a Revolution
The Scientific Revolution is different than say the American Revolution
There is no generally agreed upon start and end date
In fact there is even debate if a Scientific Revolution even took place

3. Talkin’ bout a Revolution
For our purposes let’s say that a Scientific Revolution DID take place
The Scientific Revolution took place between the mid 1500’s to the mid 1700’s

4. Talkin’ bout a Revolution
During this time period there were tremendous advances in areas such as astronomy, mathematics, biology, medicine, physics, among other areas
It was during this time period that what we would call modern science was born

5. The Scientific Revolution
The Scientific Revolution began during the Renaissance
With the rediscovery of Greek and Roman texts there was also a rediscovery of scientific ideas

9. The Scientific Revolution
One of the events which is pointed to as the start of the Scientific Revolution is Nicolaus Copernicus publishing a book entitled On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres
Copernicus was a Polish astronomer

11. Nicolaus Copernicus
This book written by Copernicus suggested a heliocentric model of the Universe as opposed to geocentric model of the Universe
Now what do those centric words mean?

12. Nicolaus Copernicus
The geocentric model states that the Earth is the center of the Universe
The heliocentric model states that the Sun is the center of the Universe

15. Let’s start with

16. Astronomy We already talked about Copernicus
Remember he proposed the theory that the Sun NOT the Earth was the center of the Universe?
Well some other pretty important people built on his ideas

17. Galileo Galilei

18. Galileo Galilei Galileo was an Italian astronomer and scientist
He is most commonly remembered as the first person to use a telescope
Though this is for the most part true he did a lot more than this

19. Galileo Galilei
Through his use of the telescope Galileo made many important discoveries
These discoveries include:
Sun Spots
4 Moons of Jupiter
Mountains on the Moon
Strong evidence to support the Heliocentric Model of the Universe

20. Sun Spots

21. 4 Moons of Jupiter

22. Mountains on the Moon

23. Galileo and the Heliocentric Universe
In his book Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems Galileo compares theories on the Universe
He supported the theory that the Sun was the center of the Solar System
His stance was extremely controversial at the time

24. Galileo and the Church
Galileo’s writing on the heliocentric universe was convicted of “grave suspicion of heresy”
This lead to Galileo being placed under house arrest for the last 9 years of his life

25. Trial of Galileo

26. Johannes Kepler

27. Johannes Kepler Kepler built on the works of Copernicus and Galileo
He made improvements to the telescope, making it more powerful
Kepler is best remembered for his Laws of Planetary Motion

28. Laws of Planetary Motion
Kepler described how the planets orbited around the sun
He described the orbit of planets as an ellipse as opposed to a circle
Kepler put a strong emphasis on God in his work

29. Francis Bacon

30. Francis Bacon

31. Francis Bacon Bacon was not actually primarily a scientist
Rather he was spent more of his time on philosophy and law
He brought principles of philosophy and law to the practice of science

32. Bacon and his Method In 1620 Bacon wrote a book entitled New Method
The new method attempted to replace that of Aristotle
Bacon relied on something called inductive reasoning

33. Bacon and his Method
Inductive reasoning means moving from particular to a more general
In Bacon’s method scientist start with a hypothesis
What is a hypothesis?

34. Bacon and his Method
After the creation of the hypothesis scientists would make lots of observations and collect data
This data and observations would come from a series of test and experiments
The goal was create general understanding of the world

35. Bacon and his Method
The principles of Bacon’s Scientific Method are still used today
Newton practiced Bacon’s Scientific Method

36. Isaac Newton

37. Isaac Newton Issac Newton is one the greatest scientists ever
His contributions impacted: mathematics, physics, astronomy, philosophy
He is best remembered for his Universal Laws of Gravity

38. The Principa
Newton published a book called Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy or The Principa
In this Newton described the natural laws which governed the Earth and the Universe

40. Newton’s Laws of Motion
Objects in Motion tend to stay in motion and objects at rest tend to stay at rest
Acceleration of an object is dependent on the amount of force put on that object
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

41. Newton’s Laws of Motion
Newton showed that these laws were not only true on Earth but throughout the Universe
This created a new understanding of the way the Universe worked
Newton’s model of the Universe dominated until Einstein introduced Relativity

42. Andreas Vesalius

43. Andreas Vesalius
Vesalius published a book entitled On the fabric of the human body
In this book Vesalius described the structure of the human body in great detail
He described each organ and it’s function

44. Advances of Vesalius
Vesalius changed the previously held belief that the Liver was where blood originated
Vesalius constructed the first free standing skeleton
His work owe a tremendous deal to Renaissance study of the human body

45. William Harvey

46. William Harvey Harvey built heavily on the work of Vesalius
Harvey made a more complete description of the circulation of blood throughout the human body
He wrote about this in his book: On the Motion of the Heart and Blood
