Witch Hunts and Scientific Revolution

Entry Task: 1. Did you live or die in yesterday’s simulation?

2. What tests did you see in yesterday’s simulation?

3. Did the trial seem fair? Why or why not?4. Did you feel like it mattered what you said

or did to try to change the outcome? Why or why not?

Who To Believe?Prior to the 1500’s most beliefs were founded

on one of two sources:Ancient Greeks or Romans The Bible or Church

What is the Scientific Revolution?A new way of thinking about the natural

worldBased on:

Careful observationWillingness to question status quo

Age of Exploration exposed Europeans to new people and new ideas

Also led to discoveries in astronomy and mathematics

Where on Earth?Aristotle believed that Earth was the center

of the universeGeocentric Theory

Belief that the Earth was the center of the universe was supported by the Church

CopernicusNicolaus CopernicusHeliocentric Theory

Studied movements of the planets for 25 years

Concluded that the sun is the center of the universe

Didn’t publish until year of his death

GalileoIn early 1600’s Italian scientist

uses telescope to study heavensPublishes Starry Messenger in

1610Among his discoveries:

Jupiter has 4 moonsMoon has rough, uneven

surfaceSun is center of universe

Just kiddingPope summons Galileo to

Rome to defend his theoriesMade to stand trial before the

InquisitionUnder threat of torture,

Galileo renounces Copernicus’ theory (and therefore his own)

Lived under house arrest for the rest of his life

Scientific MethodLogical procedure for gathering and testing

ideasStart with a problem or question from an

observationForm a hypothesisTest hypothesisAnalyze/interpret the dataEither confirm or disprove hypothesis

Two approachesFrancis Bacon

Encouraged to experiment then conclude

Rene DescartesUse mathematics and logicAssume nothing

What goes up, must come downSir Isaac Newton

English mathematician/physicist All physical objects affected

equally by the same forcesSame force ruled motions of the

planets and all matter on earthEstablishes the law of gravity

‘Science Fair’ Museum ExhibitYou will work as partners. (No exceptions

unless discussed with me )You will be required to research the life

and discoveries of a scientist from the Scientific revolution.

You will present the information next Wednesday via poster and presentation.

Presentation will be similar to a science fair. One partner will stay by board to present, as other partners visit other exhibits. Then partners will switch.
