Scientific Revolution

3. a logical procedure for gathering and testing ideas
5. concluded that certain mathematical laws govern planetary motion. showed that the planets revolve around the sun in elliptical orbits instead of circles
9. proposed that matter was made up of smaller primary particles that joined together in different ways. His law explains how the volume, temperature, and pressure of gas affect each other.
10. invented the first microscope
13. careful observation and a willingness to question accepted beliefs
14. developed the first mercury barometer, a tool for measuring atmospheric pressure and predicting weather.
15. used a microscope to observe bacteria swimming in tooth scrapings. He also examined red blood cells for the first time.
17. earth-centred view of the universe
18. attacked medieval scholars for relying too heavily on the conclusions of Aristotle and other ancient thinkers.
19. dissected human corpses and published his observations.

1. reasoned that indeed, the stars, the earth, and the other planets revolved around the sun
2. created another scale for the mercury thermometer (water freezing at 0 degree)
4. sun-centred view of the universe
6. introduced a vaccine to prevent smallpox
7. unproved assumption
8. made the first thermometer to use mercury in glass (water freezing at 32 degree)
11. was certain that all physical objects were affected equally by the same forces. His reat discovery was that the same force ruled motion of the planets and all matter on earth and in space.
12. built his own telescope, announced that Jupiter had four moons and that the Sun had dark spots. He also noted that the earth’s moon had a rough, uneven surface
16. developed analytical geometry, which linked algebra and geometry. He believed that everything should be doubted until proved by reason.
