7.10 Students analyze the historical developments
of the Scientific Revolution and its lasting
effect on religious, political, and cultural
institutions. 1. Discuss the roots of the
Scientific Revolution (e.g., Greek rationalism
Jewish, Christian, and Muslim science
Renaissance humanism new knowledge from global
exploration). 2. Understand the significance of
the new scientific theories (e.g., those of
Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton) and the
significance of new inventions (e.g., the
telescope, microscope, thermometer,
barometer). 3. Understand the scientific method
advanced by Bacon and Descartes, the influence of
new scientific rationalism on the growth of
democratic ideas, and the coexistence of science
with traditional religious beliefs.

The Revolution

• Revolution a dramatic change
• During this time science changed from what people
  thought to what people observed.
• They started doing experiments, what a great idea!

8
The Truth Hurts

• The problem is that this challenged many long
  held beliefs.
• The Church did not happily accept being
  challenged.
• Take the red pill and Ill show you how deep the
  rabbit hole goes

9
The Scientific Method
10

• Instead of just accepting anything the Church
  said people used the scientific method
• Hypothesize
• Observe
• Experiment

11
Copernicus
12

• said that the earth revolved around
  the sun.
• This went against the teaching of
  Aristotle (an old scientist).
• It also went against the teaching of the Church.

13
Think about it

• Why would the church care if the Earth was the
  center of the universe?

14
Church Problems

• Remember The church was the center of knowledge
  in the Middle Ages.
• If they were wrong about science, they might be
  wrong around other things.
• They believed the Bible said the Earth is the
  center.

15
So

• Copernicus wrote a book about his theory but
  refused to publish it.
• He was afraid of the punishment he might get from
  the church.
• (This was before the Reformation)

16
Galileo
17

• Galileo first wanted
  to become a monk.
• His father convinced
  him to make more money and become a doctor.
• He did not agree with his professors in school.
• He agreed with Copernicus about the Sun
  and Earth.

18
The Telescope

• Galileo realized that observation
  was the key to science.
• He used the telescope to prove the
  Copernican theory.
• Saw that Jupiter had its own moon
  meaning other planets were central
  objects too.
• So

19
So

• Galileo wrote a book in 1610 showing his
  theories.
• The church had been weakened during the
  Renaissance so he wasnt as afraid as
  Copernicus.
• The church, however, was still powerful.

20
The Church Response

• The church continued to disagree with him.
• They asked If the Earth is moving, why cant we
  feel it?
• Galileo took this opportunity to do some
  experiments with motion.

21
Timeout!

• Gravity test!
• What weighs more a pound of feathers or a pound
  of bricks? Why?

22
His Experiments

• Galileo was particularly
  interested in
  gravity.
• He ran multiple experiments to find
  out how it worked.
• He wrote a book about them to
  again argue that the Earth
  moved.

23
Timeout!
Where will the ball land when he drops it? Why?
It falls straight down and lands next to the
horse.
24
Timeout!
Where will the ball land when he drops it? Will
it fall straight down again? Why?
The ball still lands next to the horse because of
force and gravity.
25

• Even with proof the church forced him to say that
  his science was wrong.
• If he didnt, he might be tortured or killed.
• He was still put in jail for the rest of his
  life.
• His theories lived on in his books, the truth
  could not be stopped.

26
Isaac Newton
27

• Simplified and developed the law of gravity.
• Explained the world worked like a machine that
  had to follow laws.
• Explained how gravity keeps the planets in orbit.

Things to Remember

• The scientific method (hypothesize, observe,
  experiment) was important at this time.
• The Church struggled to keep people from
  disagreeing with them.
• Galileo was cool.
