The document provides an agenda for a lesson on the Scientific Revolution. It includes an introduction to new material where key scientists from the period like Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton are presented. Students are then assigned scientists to research and present on. The lesson concludes with an activity where students evaluate statements about the scientists and are assigned reading and questions for homework.

8. Introduction to New Material The Scientific Revolution was a new way of thinking about the world. It occurred between the early 1500s to the 1700s Prior to this period, people believed in geocentric theoryâthe idea that the solar system revolved around the earth. Afterwards, they believed in the heliocentric theoryâthe idea that the earth revolved around the sun.
9. Introduction to New Material One of the most important achievements from the period is the scientific method. The scientific method is a logical procedure for gathering and testing ideas. 1. You observe a problem 2. You form a hypothesis based on an assumption. 3. You experiment. 4. You analyze data to reach a new conclusion.
10. You have a list of scientists from the period. Listen carefully as you are assigned a group and scientists. After you have been assigned somebody, place a star (*) by their name. Introduction to New Material
11. Watch carefully to see what I do as we go over the first one together. You will have to present your scientists at the front of the class. Turn to page 189 in your book and help me! Introduction to New Material
29. Around the room you will find statements about the different scientists. Some statements are ridiculous, while some are legitimate questions. Use factual evidence from our presentations to get started. Guided Practice
30. Guided Practice Fahrenheit would defeat Celsius in a battle to the death. Agree Disagree I think that Fahrenheit would defeat Celsius in a battle to the death because his temperature system is used in the U.S. â the best country in the world. Celsius would definitely win the battle, because most countries in the world use his temperature system. To think that something is the best because it is used in the U.S. is just arrogant.
31. Get up with your group and walk around the room. Agree with the statements, or disagree. Donât be afraid to argue with your classmatesâbut do it respectfully. Independent Practice
32. Read pages 189 to 194 (which we have covered most of in class), and answer questions 1 through 8 on a separate sheet of paper. HOMEWORK
33. How did the Scientific Revolution affect life in the past? Now? Use examples of both time periods in order to compare. Include details and examples to support your response. Write a one paragraph response to the question in under 10 minutes. Exit Slip
