16th to 18th century
How long did the Scientific Revolution last?
During the Renaissance Period
When did the Intellectual Revolution start?
IR: Broader disciplines like philosophy, literature, arts, and politics
SR: Focused on Science like natural sciences such as physics, astronomy, and biology
What was the difference of the Intellectual Revolution and the Scientific Revolution in terms of scope?
IR: emphasized human reasoning, logic, and rationality
SR: emphasis on empirical observation, experimentation, and development of scientific methods
What was the main difference between IR and SR in terms of Methodology?
Greek Philosopher Anaximander
Drew the first map of the world with the earth taking the shape of a cylinder floating in the center of the universe.
Anaximander
Also believed that the Sun & Moon were hollow rings of fire & that eclipses were the result of these rings closing
Cylinder
The first map of the world drawn by Greek Philosopher, Anaximander depicted earth as what shape?
Pythagoras
Was the first to suggest that the earth was a sphere
Plato
Believed that cosmos is made up of matter in geometric shapes
Aristotle
Posited that the Earth was the center of the universe with all other celestial bodies arranged in concentric crystalline spheres around it
Ptolemy
Populalarized the geocentric model, made a refined explanation that the Earth was unmoving while the Sun, planets, and stars revolved around it
Nicolaus Copernicus
In the 16th century, _________ ________, a Polish mathematician and astronomer introduced the Heliocentrism.
Heliocentrism
The Idea that the center of the Solar System is the sun which was introduced by Polish Astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus is called?
Heliocentrism by Nicolaus Copernicus
His model gained respect and recognition only after almost 100 years through further exploration by Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei& became a period which is called the Birth of Modern Astronomy and began what was known as the Scientific Revolution
Kepler’s Law of Planetary Motion
All planets revolved around the sun not in circular orbits but elliptical ones.
Elliptical Orbits
According to Kepler’s Law of Planetary Motion, all planets that revolved around the sun do so in what kind of orbit?
faster
Does a planet move/orbit faster or slower when it is closer to the sun
Tycho Brahe
Proposed his own model, geoheliocentrism, stating that the earth is fixed center, while the sun and moon orbit the earth and the other planets revolve around the sun
Geoheliocentrism
Tychonic System is the belief that the earth is fixed center while the sun and moon orbit around it. This idea is also called?
Galileo Galilei
Using the telescope he constructed, he was able to observe the movements of the moon, Venus, Jupiter and its satellites and the Earth orbiting around the sun
Galileo Galilei
First to observe the craters of the moon and Discovered the existence of sunspots
Galileo Galilei
Discovered the correct relationship between distance, velocity and acceleration using the new scientific method
Law of Inertia
Newtons first law of motion is also called?
Law of Acceleration
Newton’s second law of motion is also called?
Action Reaction Law
Newton’s third law of motion is also called?
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
The fundamental principle of Newton’s third law of motion
An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.
What does Newton’s First Law of Motion state?
F=ma
What is the formula associated with Newton’s Second Law of Motion?
How the acceleration of an object depends on its mass and the net force acting on it.
What does Newton’s Second Law explain?
Universal Law of Gravitation
Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
Universally but usually only on Celestial Bodies
Newton’s law of universal gravitation only applies to what?
Charles Darwin
Is known as the father of evolution
On the Origin of Species
In 1859, Charles Darwin, an English naturalist, biologist, and geologist published this book that introduced the theory of evolution and the process of natural selection
Process of natural selection
An Idea from Darwin’s theory of evolution that states only the fittest would survive
Evolution
Darwin also stated that organism have the ability to adapt to their environment and would gradually change into something that would be more competitive to survive, a process known as?
Sigmund Freud
Change people’s perception of psychology with his revolutionary theory of psychoanalysis(study of human behavior).
Theory of psychoanalysis
Introduced by sigmund frued and is also known as the study of human behavior
Father of Psychoanalysis
He had a book on psychoanalysis that detailed the methodology of treating mental illnesses, which earned him the title?
Sigmund Frued
He explained that there are many conscious and unconscious factors that can influence behavior and emotions.
id, ego, and superego
He also argued that personality is a product of 3 conflicting elements, what are these three elements?
Id
Unconscious & most basic part of our personality, said to be present since birth, and operates by the pleasure principle
Id
Seeks instant gratification for our desires, ,wants, & needs to avoid feeling anything other than pleasure, and if these needs or wants are not met, a person can become tense, anxious, or angry
Id
Childish & impulsive part of us that just does what it wants, & it wants things really intensely & doesn’t really think about consequences, and it does not mature and resides within every individual as he or she ages
Id
Is instinctive, primitive, chaotic, impulsive, irrational, selfish, and is also known as the Pleasure Principle
Id

Id
A hungry baby cried until he was fed. This is an example of what?
Ego
It functions as a “referee” that balances the needs of the ID against the demands & expectations of society
Biological, Psychological, and social
Id, Ego, and Superego are also known as? (In the same order)
Ego
It controls & regulates a person in accordance with the outside world, thus maintains realistic & logical thinking to satisfy one’s needs in a socially acceptable manner
Ego
May mean delaying gratification & helping to get rid of the tension the ID feels if a desire is not met right away
Ego
Recognizes that other people have needs & wants too, & being selfish isn’t good in the long run
Ego
Is rational, logical, with delayed gratification, and is the most conscious. It is also known as the Reality Principle
Ego
Sally was thirsty. However, she knew that her server would be back soon to refill her water glass, so she waited until then to get a drink, even though she really just wanted to drink from Mr. Antonio‘s glass. This is an example of what?
Superego

Francis Bacon
Initiated what was to become the scientific method of the New or Modern Science by advocating that all knowledge should be based on evidence, observations and experiments; inductive method in science

Stated that the force required to extend or compress a spring is proportional to the distance of that extension or compression.

First person to correctly describe blood’s circulation in the body, showed that arteries and veins form a complete circuit and that circuit starts at the heart and leads back to the heart.
William Gilbert
Discovered that our planet has two magnetic poles; he defined these poles correctly and established that the earth behaves like a giant magnet.
