Scientific Revolution

4. An instrument, typically consisting of multiple lenses within a tube, that allows people to see objects too small for the naked eye by significantly magnifying their appearance, enabling the observation of tiny details in living organisms and other minute structures not visible otherwise.
7. Facilitated the widespread dissemination of scientific knowledge by allowing for mass production of texts.
10. Mathematical equations that precisely described the movement of planets around the sun.
12. An optical instrument, typically consisting of a combination of convex and concave lenses within a tube, which allowed people to see distant objects magnified, essentially "seeing faraway things as if they were nearby.
13. A timekeeping device that utilized a swinging weight (pendulum) as its primary mechanism.
14. A device, often a sealed glass tube containing a liquid like alcohol, that visually indicates changes in temperature by the rising and falling of the liquid level.
15. A Polish astronomerproposing the heliocentric theory, which states that the Sun, not the Earth, is at the center of the solar system.

1. A theory that the Earth orbits the Sun, changing our understanding of the solar system.
2. A English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, theologian, and author. Is most well know for his publishing of the book "principia" which has the laws of gravity.
3. A systematic approach to investigation.
5. Is most recognized for his contribution to cell theory, as he was the first person to observe and name "cells" while examining a cork under a microscope, coining the term "cell" to describe the basic unit of life; he also made significant contributions to optics by improving the microscope.
6. A 16th century physician and anatomist who contributed to the scientific revolution by establishing anatomy as a scientific discipline. His work is considered the foundation for modern medical textbooks.
8. A English philosopher and scientist that laid the groundwork for the Scientific Revolution by establishing the scientific method of experimentation.
9. Is widely recognized as the "father of microbiology" for his groundbreaking discovery and detailed description of microorganisms (bacteria and protists)
11. Was an Italian astronomer, physicist, engineer, and philosopher who became famous for his work in astronomy. He's often called the "father of modern astronomy" and "father of modern physics". Though he didn't invent the telescope, he improved it to make it more powerful.
