HW: Finish Primary Document and Illustration Activity
Scientific Revolution
• The natural world can be explained through observation and questioning accepted beliefs.
• Church had an issue with this…– If you can’t explain it, it’s
“God’s” way.
Heliocentric Theory• Geocentric- Earth is in the
middle. • Heliocentric- sun-centered
universe. • Copernicus – Used Greek
theory and astronomy to show planets revolve around the sun. – Orbits could not be
explained.– Did not publish until his death
for fear of ridicule. • Kepler- Laws govern
planetary motion. – Elliptical Orbits
Galileo• Law of gravity- a falling
object accelerates at a fixed rate.
• Supported the ideas of Copernicus with his observations in Astronomy.
• Church reacts negatively.– Galileo stood trial and was
forced to renounce his theory.
– Can’t stop the idea, and it spreads even though he is under house arrest.
Scientific Method• Logical procedure for
gathering and testing ideas.
• Francis Bacon believed that scientists could produce practical knowledge through observation.
• Experiment instead of abstract thought.
• Decartes method uses mathematics and logic. – “I think, therefore I am.”
Isaac Newton
• Perfected law of gravity.
• Universal Gravitation- Every object in the universe attracts every other object.
• Adds religion by claiming “God” was the clockmaker that set the world in motion.
Medicine
• Vesalius dissected human corpses.– Why would the church
have an issue with this?• William Harvey
discovered blood circulation through the heart.
• Edward Jenner introduced vaccination to eliminate smallpox.
Illustration Assignment
• Using no words, how would you illustrate the conflict between the Church and the Scientific Revolution? Illustrate this on a sheet of paper (I’m not looking for a Picasso, I’m looking for good, analytical thought)
