Antoine

jennahennessy2021 — 2017-11-16 15:39:12 UTC

Lived from 1743-1794
He went to college and studied law degree but had a passion for the sciences. He revolutionized chemistry, and named the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and many others In 1772 he named the element carbon, He also discovered that when you burn sulfur and phosphorus are burned in air they are acidic. He continued to discover and name more elements.
He also had a 13 year old wife when he was 28

Born 1561,January.died 1626

He was a statesman,and writer his early years.
But he was very interested in the laws of science.
he wanted the people to generate practical knowledge and not rely on what the church says.
he encouraged scientists to not make assumptions and too actually do the experiment and make conclusions.
this is when he decided to create something called empiricism or the experimental method
he had help from Rene Descartes

abigailsnow2020 — 2017-11-16 15:40:35 UTC

René Descartes was born in La Haye en Touraine, France in 1596.

Descartes is a philosopher, scientist, and mathematician. He relied heavily on math and logic to prove his theories and ideas.

Descartes along with Francis Bacon were known for creating the Scientific Method.The Scientific Method is the well known procedure of observation, hypothesis, experiment, testing, and modification of the hypothesis.

Nicolas Copernicus was born on February 1473 in Poland. He was an Astronomer, Mathematician, Scientist, Religious Figure, and Scholar. He was part of a group that questioned the geocentric theory and instead believed in a heliocentric universe. After many years of fearing of persecution Copernicus published his findings in 1543. Copernicus died in May of 1543, On his deathbed he received a copy of his book and inspired people to continue his research

Edward Jenner and the Smallpox Vaccine

elizabethblais_bennett2021 — 2017-11-16 15:41:52 UTC

Edward Jenner was an English doctor who invented vaccines and is the father of immunology.

Edward Jenner was born in Berkley, Gloucester on May 17th 1749. At the age of 14, he was apprenticed to a surgeon and trained in London. In 1772, he returned to Berkley and spent the rest of his career as a doctor.

In 1796, he carried out his most famous experiment on eight-year-old James Phillips. Edward inserted pus taken from a cowpox pustule into an incision on James' arm. This was to test the folklore that said those who suffered from cowpox never contracted smallpox, which happened to be one of the biggest killers, especially among children.

After this had been proven true, Edward submitted a paper to the Royal Society in 1797, who rejected his letter, saying his ideas were too revolutionary and that he needed to have more proof to back up his claims. He began to continue his testing to gain additional proof, even testing on his 11-month-old son. In 1798, the results of his experiments were finally published, and the word "vaccine" was coined by Jenner in this publishing, the word coming from the Latin 'vacca,' meaning cow.

This discovery, however, was not accepted immediately. Critics, especially the clergy, claimed it was repulsive and ungodly to use Edward's vaccine. People made fun of the discovery, too, as a cartoon created in 1802 depicts vaccinated people sprouting cow's heads.

Eventually, though, the advantages of the smallpox vaccine won out, and it soon became widespread. Jenner became famous and continued to carry out research in a number of different areas.

Edward Jenner, successful, died on January 26th, 1823.

Johannes Kepler--- a Mathmetician

Josh_Orsi — 2017-11-16 15:41:58 UTC

In 1609 he published the 1st two laws of planetary motion. He continued Tycho Brahe's data, and concluded ceratin mathmeticial laws. As a geniust, he was able to create a law in which stated that the planets revolve around the sun in elliptical orbits. His laws even proved that Copernicus's ideas were true. This was Johannes Kepler, a brilliant mathmetician who created the very laws that we know today- the law of orbits, areas, and periods all relating to motion and planets.

christopherparker2021 — 2017-11-16 15:42:55 UTC

He discovered the first of the gas laws called Boyle's Law, which relates the pressure of a gas to it's volume.
He established that electrical forces are transmitted through a vacuum, but sound is not.
he was the first person to write specific experimental guidance for other scientists, telling them the importance of achieving reliable, repeatable results.

Andreas Vesalius was born on Dec. 31, 1514, in Brussels, the son of Andries van Wesele and his wife, Isabel Crabbe. Vesalius started his medical studies in 1530. His epoch-making De humani corporis fabrica libri septem (Seven Books on the Construction of the Human Body), published in 1543 in Basel. Book 1 on the bones was generally correct but represented no major advance. Book 2 on the muscles was a masterpiece. Book 3 on blood vessels was exactly the opposite. Somewhat better was book 4 on the nerves, a great advance on everything written on the topic before, but it was largely outmoded a century later. Excellent was his treatment in book 5 of the abdominal organs. Book 6 dealt with the chest and neck, while book 7 was devoted to the brain.

Tycho Brahe was born December 14 1546 and died October 24 1601. He was a Danish astronomer. He created astronomical instruments such as his Great Globe and Armillary Sphere. He also measured and fixed positions of the stars. The eclipse for August 1 1560 was predicted by Brahe. He observed the overlapping of Jupiter and Saturn and discovered the New Star. One of his big accomplishments was his observatory that he created.

Rene also developed analytical geometry (linked geometry and geometry.)

Descartes believed proof and clear reasoning was the most important part of finding and developing an idea.

Elasticity

Elasticity, also known as Hooke's Law is "An objects ability to reform into it's natural shape after being stretched or compressed"
Hooke discovered the Law of Elasticity 5 years after he was hired by Boyle

He knew a human wasn’t able to witness small objects using naked eye. He started to work on a tool to see those tiny objects. His partner was his father. They created a microscope to magnify objects that come with small size.

Jenner observed, experimented with, and dissected cuckoos to find out more about there parasitism. Cuckoos will lay their eggs in other birds nests, the birds will hatch faster than the victims and the cuckoos babies will throw the other eggs out of the nest. Cuckoos have a depression in there back to cup and throw the other eggs with that disappears after 12 days. People previously believed that the adult birds did it but Jenner found that the adults didn't stay that long.
