The document discusses the development of science during the Iron Age, particularly in Ancient Greece. It describes how the Iron Age followed the Bronze and Stone Ages, beginning between 1200-600 BC depending on the region. During this time, people across Europe, Asia and Africa began making tools and weapons from iron. The document then outlines the major phases of development of Greek science, including the Ionian period which marked the birth of Greek science in the 6th century BC, the Athenian period from 480-330 BC, the Hellenistic period under Alexander's empire with Alexandria as a center of science, and the Roman period. It also describes some of the Greeks' early views about the natural world and Aristotle's theories of motion.

Dark Age, is a period of time between the collapse of the Mycenaean civilization around 1100 B.C. and the beginning of the Greek Archaic Period of 800 B.C. • With their interest and intelligence they transformed the acquired knowledge into something simpler, more rational and more abstract. Their learning was affected to some extent our present civilizations. The Development of Ancient Greek Science • Science in Ancient Greece was based on logical thinking, mathematics, technology and everyday life • The Greeks wanted to know more about the world, the heaven and themselves. They studied about the sky, sun, moon and the planets. • The Greeks found that the earth was round. The Development of Ancient Greek Science • The history of the Iron Age Greek Science may be divided into four major Phases or Eras which may be called the following: the Ionian, the Athenian, the Hellestic Or Alexandrian and; the Romans. The Development of Ancient Greek Science • The Ionian ( 6 century B.C. to 480 B.C., and was the birth of Greek Science. ) The Development of Ancient Greek Science • The Athenian ( 480 B.C. to 330 B.C. Between the end of Persian wars and the suppression of independence of Greek cities by Alexander the Great ) The Development of of Ancient Greek Science • Hellenistic ( began with the Empire of Alexander where Alexandria became a new home of science ) The Development of Ancient Greek Science • The Romans ( started with the coming of the Romans ) Ancient Greeks, views about nature
• The Ancient Greeks divided the universe into two parts:
the celestial or heaven and terrestrial or earth. • Aristotle developed what is known as Aristotelian Physics. It was basically a description or explanation of motion. He classified motion into two: natural and violent. The natural motion is divided into celestial and terrestrial. • Goecentric Model of the Universe – this model was based on two basic assumptions: a. The earth is at rest, spherical, center of the universe; b. All celestial objects revolve around the earth in circles at constant speed.
