STANDARD WHII.6a The student will demonstrate knowledge of scientific, political, economic, and religious changes during the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries by a) describing the Scientific Revolution and its effects.
Scientific Revolution
Scientific Revolution
The new ideas emphasized reason, observation, and systematic measurement. This led to the Scientific Revolution. It changed the way people viewed the world and their place in it.
Pioneers of the scientific revolution
Nicolaus Copernicus

Galileo Galilei Galileo went against the church teachings The church put him on trial. Galileo was put under house arrest for the rest of his life!
Johannes Kepler
Johannes Kepler Discovered the elliptical motion of the planets.
Johannes Kepler Discovered the elliptical motion of the planets. Also showed that the motion conformed to mathematical formulas.
Isaac Newton Was a math genius. He wrote the Law of Gravity and explained how the planets were held to their orbits!
Isaac Newton Law of Gravity Was a math genius. He wrote the Law of Gravity and explained how the planets were held to their orbits! Every mass in the universe attracts every other mass based on its size
Isaac Newton He also came up with the laws of motion based on his gravitational theories.
Isaac Newton 1. Objects at rest, stay at rest. Objects in motion stay in motion. Unless there are other forces.
Isaac Newton 1. Objects at rest, stay at rest. Objects in motion stay in motion. Unless there are other forces. 2. Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass the greater the amount of force needed.

William Harvey He was the first to detail the circulation of the blood.
William Harvey He was the first to detail the circulation of the blood. He was also the first to correctly describe it was the heart that pumped it!
Importance of the Scientific Revolution A new emphasis was placed on reason and the systematic observation of nature What could be seen and tested was important!
Importance of the Scientific Revolution The scientific method of investigation was developed during this time
Importance of the Scientific 6 steps. 1. Ask a question 2. Do Research 3. Make a guess (Hypothesis) 4. Test the guess 5. Record your results Revolution 6. Decide if you are right or wrong
Scientific Method It was a way to examine the world and find out how it really works!
Importance of the scientific revolution It led to an expansion of scientific knowledge.
Importance of the scientific revolution It led to an expansion of scientific knowledge. The universe was ordered according to natural laws, not spiritual.
Importance of the scientific revolution It led to an expansion of scientific knowledge. The universe was ordered according to natural laws, not spiritual. De-Spiritualized and de-mystified the Universe
