Roger Bacon
Roger Bacon was a English philosopher and scientist during the 1200's. He was one of the first people to favor the new system of scientific experimentation. Roger Bacon had an effect on the new system of scientific experimenting because he was one of the first people to change. More and more people changed over to the scientific experimenting as a result of Roger Bacon changing. This was the beginning of the scientific revolution since more people switched to the new system. -

Renaissance
The spirit of Renaissance encouraged curiosity, investigation, discovery, and the knowledge of nature. I think that Renaissance was an important part of the scientific revolution because people became more curious and wanted people to investigate different things about nature. This helped the scientific revolution because more people were figuring things out about nature because of the Renaissance spirit. -

Copernicus Theory
Nicolaus Copernicus was a Polish scientist in the early 1500's. He started to abandon Ptolemy's geocentric theory in 1500's. I think that Copernicus had a big part in the scientific revolution because he was one of the first people to rebel against theorist that have been going on for many centuries. -
1543
Nicolaus Copernicus Published Theory
In 1543 Nicolaus Copernicus theory was published into a book. Nicolaus theory was about the sun being the center of the universe.Only a few people paid attention to the theory but it was the start of his theory. I think this is important because since he published the theory more people are going to start doing that and more ideas will get out there in the world. -
1543
Andreas Vesalius
Andreas Vesalius was a Flemish scientist. Vesalius refused to accept the descriptions of muscles and bones that were written 1400 years ago by Galen. In 1543 Vesalius released a book about the human body. I think this affected the scientific revolution because people started to see how stuff they always thought were right were actually wrong and so it caused more people to look at things in a different way. -
Johannes Kepler proving Copernicus Theory
Johannes Kepler was a mathematician who used models and mathematics to test Copernicus's heliocentric theory. Johannes Kepler proved Copernicus's theory right despite some of the ideas of his theory were wrong. I think that since Kepler proved Copernicus theory right it will effect the scientific revolution because more people will start to believe his theory and other people might wanted to prove if it is real or not by themselves. Not only that but people might want to prove other things. -
Antoni Leeuwenhoek
Antoni Leeuwenhoek was a dutch scientist. Antoni Leeuwenhoek used the microscope which was invented in the late 1500's to discover bacteria which at the time he called animalcules. I think that he had an affect on the scientific revolution because he contributed to the scientific revolution by discovering a whole new subject to research and find out about. -
Johannes Kepler Published Laws of Planetary
Johannes Kepler published the Laws of Planetary in 1609 after he proved Nicolaus Copernicus's theory right. I think that Johannes Kepler published laws of planetary had an effect on the scientific revolution because more people will believe how the planets move and work since he published his laws. This will lead to more people trying to figure out about different stuff about planets. -
Francis Bacon
Francis Bacon was a English philosopher and scientist. Francis Bacon believed that theories could be developed only through observation. In 1620 he published a book about his idea. I think that Francis Bacon affected the scientific revolution because he brought out a new step to proving that something is real. -
William Harvey
William Harvey was a English physician. Harvey studied the circulation of blood. He described how blood moved through the human body. I think this effected the scientific revolution because people started to study things that they already thought were right. -
Galileo Galilei
Galileo built his own telescope and began studying the planets in space. Galileo was able to see mountains and valleys of the moon and rings around Saturn and also moons are Jupiter. I think that this had an effect on the scientific evolution because people were able to learn more about space and planets that they weren't able to learn about before. -
Galileo Published Theory
When Galileo published his findings about space in 1632 many people were upset. Many people still believed Ptolemy's old geocentric theory and refused to accept Galileo's findings. Some people said that Galileo's telescope was made from the devil. I think that this had an effect on the scientific revolution because no matter if you are 100 percent right people are still going to try and prove you wrong or in this case not accept you. -
Rene Descartes
Rene Descartes was a french philosopher and mathematician. Descartes stated that all assumptions have to be proven by known facts. Descartes was known as the scientific revolution leader. I think that Descartes played a big role in the scientific revolution because he was the "leader" of it. I think he played a big role because he made sure that people proved their assumptions with known facts. -
Issac Newton
In 1687 Isaac Newton published a book that build on the idea of Copernicus Kepler and Galileo. They were not able to explain why bodies moved. I think that Issac Newton was an important part to the scientific revolution because he decided to add on to Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo's idea. -
Isaac Newton Laws of Gravity
Issac Newton's laws are still in use today in modern technology. Newton realized that the force that holds the planets in their orbits and the force that causes objects to fall to earth are one and the same. Issac Newton's laws of gravity were very important to the scientific revolution because it changed the way people looked at things and it supported Galileo's idea about the sun being the center part of the universe.
