Scientific Revolution
Shaun M. 1st Period
What Was The Change?
The Scientific Revolution Was The Emergence Of Modern Science During The Early Modern Period, When Developments In Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy, Biology, Medicine, And Chemistry Transformed Views Of Society And Nature.
Who Were The People Associated With The Change?
Nicolaus Copernicus
Nicolaus Is Considered The Founder Of Modern Astronmy For Proving This The Solar System Is Heliocentric, Or Organized Around The Sun. Also Provided A Model For Th Modern Scientific Method. Helped To Overthrow The Popular Reliance On The Unproven And Dominated Scientific Thought Until His Time.
Galileo
Galileo Is Credited With Establishing The Modern Experimental Method. He Brought Out The Practice Of Disproving And Proving A Scientific Theory By Conducting Tests And Observing The Results. Created A Large Number Or Inventions To Make Discoveries.
Isaac Newton
Newton Was Known As The Most Important Scientist Of All Time. He Was Also The Author Of The Law Of The Universal Gravitation And The Law Of Motion.
How Did The Change Impact The Society At The Time?
Physics: The Laws Of Motion And Gravitation
Galileo's Most Important Contributions Were In The Field Of Physics. He Formulated The Laws Governing The Motion Of Material Objects. He Proposed The Theory Of Inertia, According To Which An Object Moves Or Rests Until Something Outside Of It Changes Its Motion.
Chemistry: The Discovery Of Elements Of Nature
Chemistry Was Tainted By Its Connection To Alchemy. The Swiss Physician Paracelsus Rejected The Ancient Theory That Disease Was Caused By An Imbalance Of The Four Humors (Blood, Black Bile, Yellow Bile, And Phlegm).

How Is That Change Evidence In Today's Modern Society?
It Changed Today's Modern Society, Because With All These New Inventions Such As The Telescope Scientist Today Now Have The Resources To Find Out The New Questions Today. Such As How Starts Tell Up Things And Stories Like The Big And Little Dipper. They Also Helped Up Evolve In Knowledge To Make Other Tools Out Of Theirs To Make Microscopes And More.
