- 5. Proved using mathematics that celestial bodies have elliptical orbits
- 6. A body of knowledge supported by evidence collected systematically using obervation and experimentation
- 10. medieval practice that utilized experimentation and had the goal of turning one substance into another
- 12. Discovered the scientific laws that form the foundation for modern physics
- 15. first proposed the heliocentric model of the solar system
- 16. belief that observable evidence is the primary path to knowledge; inductive reasoning
- 17. elliptical trajectory of an object that is falling endlessly around another object
- 18. anything with mass and volume
- 20. Invented the Cartesian Coordinate plane, famously stated that one should doubt anything that could not be proven, and established rules for deductive reasoning
- 21. belief in reason and logic as the primary paths to knowledge; deductive reasoning
