This is different from what people believed before which is that the earth was the center of the universe.
What kind of evidence did Copernicus and, later, Kepler use to develop and support his theory? Copernicus and Kepler both used mathematics and observation to support the Copernicus's theory.
Why do you think most people were unwilling to believe Copernicus's theory? It was a common belief that the earth was a center of the universe. They didn't want to be against Aristotle and the Church and the Bible who supported Ptolemy's theory.
What were some of the important discoveries Galileo made with his telescope?

Many historians consider Isaac Newton one of the three most important figures in history. Based on what you've learned would you agree. why? Yes I agree Newton wrote Principia which described the three laws of motion which dramatically changed people's picture of the universe. many people began to see the universe as a beautifully designed machine and applied the mathematical laws everywhere.
What are the steps of the scientific method? 1.State a question or problem 2.Form a hypothesis 3.Conduct an experiment to test hypothesis 4.Make observations, collect datat 5.analyze data to see if hypothesis is correct
What were some key scientific tools developed during the scientific revolution? 1.telescope 2.microscope 3.barometer 4.thermometer
How important do you think these tools and the scientific method are today? Explain They are very important because the telescope, microscope, barometer, and thermometer, scientific method are still used today. Scientists can repeat the method another has done and test other's ideas for themselves.
(roots) During the middles ages, what two major sources guided most Europeans thinking about the natural world The first was the Bible or word of God and what it said about nature must be true. The second source was the teachings of Aristotle who had written about nature.
