Directions: Read the following article. Stop and think about the questions being asked and try to answer them in your head. You do not need to write the answers down. Intro to the Scientific Revolution The Renaissance came about because of a change in the way of thinking. In an effort to learn, people began to want to understand the world around them. This study of the world and how it works was the start of a new age of science in the 1600s.?246490419188The explosion of artistic and poetic creativity that occurred in Italy during the Renaissance also gave rise to great curiosity about the way the world worked. What Renaissance philosophy encouraged study of worldly things?______________________________________________________________________________________________________00The explosion of artistic and poetic creativity that occurred in Italy during the Renaissance also gave rise to great curiosity about the way the world worked.

Great artists, such as Leonardo da Vinci, would study anatomy to better understand the body so they could create better paintings and sculptures. Architects such as Filippo Brunelleschi made advances in math in order to design buildings. The true geniuses of the time were often both artists and scientists. They were both considered talents of the true Renaissance man.?33475003177800-54864031778During the Renaissance, many artists also became highly educated scientists that studied the world in order to be able to make better paintings. One of the things they studied was the anatomy (structure) of the human body by cutting open dead bodies.What institution do you think might have a problem with the slicing open of dead bodies? Why?____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________00During the Renaissance, many artists also became highly educated scientists that studied the world in order to be able to make better paintings.

This was a time of great strides in science and mathematics. Scientists like Francis Bacon, Galileo, Rene Descartes, and?Isaac Newton?made discoveries that would change the world.?This time period of great discovery and study became known as the Scientific Revolution.236153781335The Scientific Revolution was a time of impressive discoveries and theories that we still use today.

What is the modern day equivalent of a printing press that we use today?______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The most important invention of the Renaissance, and perhaps in the history of the world, was the printing press. It was invented by German?Johannes Gutenberg?around 1440. By 1500 there were printing presses throughout Europe. The printing press allowed for information to be distributed to a wide audience. This helped to spread new scientific discoveries as well, allowing scientists to share their works and learn from each other.??How did the printing press affect the Scientific Revolution?____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The?Scientific Method?was further developed during the Renaissance. It was a process used to prove scientific theories (ideas) by citing facts and information. Galileo used controlled experiments and analyzed data to prove, or disprove, his theories. The process was later refined by scientists such as Francis Bacon and Isaac Newton.?What was the Scientific Method?____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________22498051417955Scientists like Copernicus and Galileo made huge discoveries about the Universe during the Scientific Revolution that we cite today. Why do you think telescopes are better for astronomy than just using your eyes?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________00Scientists like Copernicus and Galileo made huge discoveries about the Universe during the Scientific Revolution that we cite today. Why do you think telescopes are better for astronomy than just using your eyes?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________-215265141732000 Many of the great scientific discoveries made during the Renaissance were in the area of astronomy. Great scientists such as Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler all made major contributions (advancements).These scientists became the world’s first astronomers because they used astronomy to study the stars Both the microscope and the telescope were invented during the Renaissance. This was due to improvements in making?lenses. These improved lenses also helped with making eyeglasses, which would be needed with the invention of the printing press and more people reading.?What did scientists use Astronomy to study during the Scientific Revolution?____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________-1276351025525Thanks to the study of the pendulum (a long heavy object that swings back and forth), scientists during the Scientific Revolution were able to invent clocks that never stopped ticking. It increased the accuracy of timekeeping.Why is always being able to know what time it is a good thing?______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________00Thanks to the study of the pendulum (a long heavy object that swings back and forth), scientists during the Scientific Revolution were able to invent clocks that never stopped ticking.

The first mechanical clock was invented during the early Renaissance. Improvements were made by Galileo who invented the pendulum in 1581. This invention allowed clocks to be made that were much more accurate.?1176655135128000Warfare? There were also inventions that advanced warfare. This included cannons and muskets which fired metal balls using gunpowder. These new weapons signaled the end of both the Middle Age castle and the knight.?Other Inventions? Other inventions during this time include the flushing toilet, the wrench, the screwdriver, wallpaper, and the submarine.?34264608636000 Alchemy? Alchemy was sort of like chemistry, but generally wasn't based on a lot of scientific facts. A lot of people thought that there was a single substance from which all other substances could be made. Many hoped to find a way to make gold and become rich.Name: ______________________________Date: 4/1/16Period: ____Global 1: Intro to the Scientific Revolution Homework1) What invention by Johannes Gutenberg had a huge impact on how information could be shared throughout Europe?The InternetThe Printing PressThe TelephoneThe Telegraph2) The science of astronomy had many breakthroughs during the Renaissance.
