Scientific Revolution:________________________________________________________

What was it?

Oh, that’s so kind of you to notice – yes, I did get my hair done for the big revolution!

o Scientific Revolution: Exciting time period (1500s - 1700s) in Europe when people began to change the way they thought about the world


What was the old way of thinking?Before the Scientific Revolution, scientific

thinking is based mostly on…

- The Bible

- Aristotle


What was the old way of thinking?

ARISTOTLE

The earth is the center of the universe!

And nobody questioned him for 2,000 years.


Earth is the center of the universe?

Yep, that looks about

right!


Why did thinking change?

2,000 years is a loooong time. Why do people start to think differently?

Increased contact with Jews and Muslims exposed Europeans to new ideas

And what’s that called???

CULTURAL DIFFUSION!


Changes in Europe:o Europeans realized

that they were wrong about some things

o Example: They had believed that there were only three continents, but explorers had now “discovered” more

They found MORE?!?! But I was just about

finished!


What was the new way of thinking?

o People began to use reason and logic (not just faith) to explain the world

o Science changed from what people thought to what people observed


Tension between religion and science:

oSome scientific conclusions questioned the beliefs of the church and what is written in the Bible

oMany scientists, however, were religious and saw science as a way of better understanding God’s world

So who were these new-think’n sci-guys?


So, who’s throwing all these ca-razay new ideas around, anyway?


I’ll be stamping these as part of your classwork so please…

Galileo says:Use the station readings posted around the room to fill in your handout. You’ll have about 5

minutes for each station!


Nicolaus Copernicus

What did I contribute?



Galileo Galilei




Francis Bacon




Sir Isaac Newton




Rene Descartes




So now there are all kinds of new ideas floating around Europe. Some of them probably sound pretty crazy at first, but what would you do if more and more people you trusted started to

believe those “crazy” ideas?

Rabble, rabble, rabble!

I dunno, maybe he’s got a point.

WELL, NOW YOU GET A
