Scientific Method
The prediction of an experimental outcome in the form of an "It the...Than the..." Statement.
Hypothesis
The Sun at the center of the solar system.
Heliocentric
He discovered this when an apple fell on his head.
Gravity
Uses the units of Celsius or Fahrenheit to determine temperature.
Thermometer
The time frame of the Scientific Revolution.
1500's - 1700's
This is the step in the method where you test the hypothesis.
Experiment
Some versions of this device used dual convex lenses to study space.
Telescope
7 colored wave lengths can be seen when white light is shown through this.
Prism
Can be used to measure air pressure.
Barometer
Academia del Cimento in Florence is an example of one of these, which formed as governments and society embraced their studies.
Scientific Institutions
This must be gathered from an experiment in order to determine results and draw conclusions.
Data
This astronomer was forced to recant his discoveries by the church.
Galileo Galilei
Newton's side interest in experimenting with metals, attempting to make gold.
Alchemy
Unlike the telescope whose lenses let you see far, this device's lenses let you see extremely close.
Microscope
The scientific revolution overlaps with these two other periods we have recently studied.
Renaissance and Reformation
Rene Descartes is credited for using this type of reasoning instead of the scientific method.
Cartesian Skepticism / Skeptical reasoning
It was thought by the church prior to astronomy that star light was actually from this realm.
Realm of the Divine / Realm of the heavens.
He's from this country.
England
This device was utilized by Robert Boyle. It allows air to be pushed from one place to another, to increase pressure.
Air Pump
Famously stated, "I think therefore I am" to prove his existence.
Rene Descartes
The scientist credited with the creation of the scientific method.
Francis Bacon
Kepler found planets orbit in this pattern, not circular.
Elliptical
This form of math developed by newton is essential to study physics.
Calculus
While it started as a concept related to air pressure, this led to many modern devices utilizing it as a cleaner or, chamber.
Vacuum
The study of everything in physical existence, from the smallest subatomic particles to the entire universe.
