Roger Bacon
Bacon was one of the first people to start really looking into science over magic before the Renaissance. He started teaching what he knew to other people. He was only one of the first people to start doing this, then many others followed in his footsteps. A new way of looking at things had been born. -
Period: Jan 1, 1200 to Jan 1, 1500
The Begining of the Revolution
Science started to ever so slightly come into popularity. People started studying science and teach it to others. Magic and religion were no longer the only things to believe in. -
Period: Jan 1, 1500 to
The Birth of Modern Science
Experiments were born. Many old beliefs were tested, and things just didn't match up. People started believing in science over magic and religion. Many Inventions were created in this time, such as the thermometer, the barometer, and the telescope. Science met new beginnings. -

Vesalius
He was an anatomist who was inspired by Vinci. He looked at the internals of human bodies to discover how they worked. He was most famous for his work on the muscles, and how the parts of the body worked together. -
Jan 1, 1543
Copernicus
This was the scientist who first published the heliocentric theory. Although he came up with the idea, he could not find a way to prove it, and he never had much success. -
Period: Jan 1, 1543 to
The Heliocentric Theory
This was the idea that the Earth was not in fact the center of the universe, but it was the sun. At first this idea met a lot of fire to become a reality, four scientists later, and a whole lot of work, this radical idea became accepted into society. -
Jan 2, 1543
Harvey
Harvey was also an anatomist. His main study was of the blood, and how the heart circulated it. and how the muscles of this system worked. -
Descartes
This mans work was to try to connect all the scientific fields. He though that if they were all linked, they could discover more. He also added math as a science field, and did some work on refraction of light. -
Kelper
This man was the next piece in the heliocentric puzzle. He took a look at what Copernicus had started, expanded off of it, and fixed what he found incorrect. He was able to prove the theory, but still found no real proof, and the idea was still not accepted into society. -
Francis Bacon
This Bacon made some new laws about science itself. These laws were that you need to do many experiments to be able to prove something. If a theory was to become a reality, then you need a lot of proof. -
Galileo
This man is one of the most well known scientists in history. He invented a modern telescope, and proceeded to observe the planets, moons, and sun. He saw things no one had ever seen before, and he finally found some evidence to prove the heliocentric theory. Even through his success, there were still haters, and many of his findings were not accepted. -
Galileo Continued
Another big theory that Galileo tested was that light items fall slower than heavy ones. After testing this, he proved that all objects fall at the same pace. He started the research for objects in motion. -
Boyle
Boyle was a chemist. He studied matter, and how it changed states. He also studied gases, and how he could make them expand and contract from temperature. -
Newton
Issac Newton was the father of laws of motion. He was the first one to look into gravity, both on earth and in space. He saw orbits in the solar system, and finally found a scientific explanation of the heliocentric theory. He found a way to get the religious community to believe in some science, and created some basic laws of the universe. -
Lavoisier
He also did work with chemistry. Had many of the same thoughts and realizations as Boyle, but also had his own discoveries. For one, he proved that fire wasn't an element, and that all mater is permanent, and that it can only change form. He mad the modern ideas about mater and how it acts.
