ACTIVITY: CHAPTER 1
Scientific Revolution – Science is as old as the world itself. There is no individual that can
exactly identify when and where science began. From the genesis of time, science existed. It is
always interwoven with the society. So, how can science be defined?
1. Science as an idea.
is an explanation of how something works, or the truth about some aspect of the world, that was
figured out using the scientific process. Science is how we make sense of the world by
collecting data and doing experiments. Scientific ideas change over time as our evidence
improves. It includes ideas, theories, and all available systematic explanations and observations
about the natural and physical world.
NICOLAUS COPERNICUS
- was a Polish astronomer and mathematician known as
the father of modern astronomy. He was the first
European scientist to propose that Earth and other
planets revolve around the sun, the heliocentric theory of
the solar system. Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543) was
a mathematician and astronomer who proposed that the
sun was stationary in the center of the universe and the
earth revolved around it.
CHARLES DARWIN
- greatest contribution to science is that he completed the
Copernican Revolution by drawing out for biology the notion
of nature as a system of matter in motion governed by natural
laws. With Darwin's discovery of natural selection, the origin and
adaptations of organisms were brought into the realm of science.
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution through natural
selection brought about one of the greatest intellectual and
cultural revolutions in the modern era. It profoundly altered
the way we think of science, religion, philosophy – our modern
society.
SIGMUND FRUED
- Psychology's most famous figure is also one of the most
influential and controversial thinkers of the 20th century. Sigmund
Freud, an Austrian neurologist born in 1856, is often referred to
as the "father of modern psychology."
