SCIENTIFIC SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTIONREVOLUTION

Magic to Science

• Renaissance ideas began to be applied to science

• Used new instruments and mathematics to examine nature and found it did not match with traditional views– Most people still believed what Aristotle

said (over 2000 years old)

Astronomy

• Copernicus– Disproved Ptolemy’s Geocentric theory and

established new Heliocentric theory

• Kepler– Improved heliocentric theory and created

laws of planetary motion

• Galileo– Built telescope– Observed rings of Saturn and moons of

Jupiter
