Anders Celsius was a Swedish astronomer, physicist, and mathematician, who had a huge impact on science as we know it today, he created the measurement of temperature called Celsius. He also built the Uppsala Astronomical Observatory in 1741, after finding out that the Earth is not a sphere but an ellipsoid. An ellipsoid is a quadratic surface that looks like a sphere. We should still learn about Anders Celsius because he is the reason why we have a stable universal method to measure the temperature of objects, people, and even Earth. This would end up evolving into the thermometer. Anders's invention of Celcius is the pinnacle invention of modern Weather forecasters and everyday needs for temperature.]]> 2022-10-12 17:12:16 UTC https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/epu7h17aj2yl1wbu/wish/2337398835 cadenbirtz2024 https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/epu7h17aj2yl1wbu/wish/2337398876 Check out this video: https://whttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMM8vx9vDiE

Galileo was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer,   and philosopher. He revolutionized astronomy and biology. Through his telescopic observations, he discovered the mountains on the moon, the moons of Jupiter, the phases of Venus, and the rings of Saturn.

He was a very accomplished astronomer who predicted accurate planetary motion, created new instruments to observe space, discovered a new star in the constellation Cassiopeia, (before the telescope was invented) and more. 

The work of Tycho Brahe was used by his assistant, Johannes Kepler, to support and prove the heliocentric theory. Brahe radically changed the observation traditions of astronomy by observing the orbits of the planets and moon regularly rather than just during major time periods such as eclipses. His tools became inspiration for even better, more accurate ones.  We study him to know how our knowledge of outer space was able to be developed as far as it is, and where a lot of these tools and techniques came from.

1. The shape of the orbits of each planet in the solar system is an ellipse.
2. If a line were to be drawn between a planet and the Sun, that line would sweep out equal areas of the planet's elliptical orbit in equal amounts of time as the planet moves.
3. The orbital period for a planet is directly proportional to the size of its orbit.

Kepler also did important work in geometry and optics, and discovered that two eyes enable depth perception and that the refraction of light enables vision.

We should continue to learn about him because modern astronomy finds its foundation in Kepler's laws of planetary motion. While the heliocentric theory had already been developed by the time he began to work in astronomy, his work helped to correct it and create the model of the solar system that we know today.]]> 2022-10-12 17:12:33 UTC https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/epu7h17aj2yl1wbu/wish/2337399262 shawnbloniasz2024 https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/epu7h17aj2yl1wbu/wish/2337399327 -Born on April 1, 1578, in Folkstone, England

Check out this video on Sir Francis Bacon:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eOQm9yZN3c

Why Should we still learn about him:
To this day, Francis Bacon is known for his treatises on empiricist natural philosophy. Better known as (the advancement of learning, Novum Organum Scientiarum, or a new way of learning.) Additionally, Francis Bacon was known for his idea of a modern research institute. His essays are also very important because they stress the importance of studying and how it provides you with knowledge. That ultimately grows your better understanding of past or present-day events.

Accomplishments / discoveries:
Francis Bacon was best known for his discovery of the scientific method, and the way he popularized it. This was done through the use of analyzing data from experiments and observations. Rather than the use of logic-based reasoning. ]]> 2022-10-12 17:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/epu7h17aj2yl1wbu/wish/2337407050 samanthaluby2024 https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/epu7h17aj2yl1wbu/wish/2337408287 Link to Youtube Vid: https://youtu.be/105ebQ8VSsE]]> 2022-10-12 17:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/epu7h17aj2yl1wbu/wish/2337408287 gabriellepietri2024 https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/epu7h17aj2yl1wbu/wish/2337409303 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ9T0WZAaJs]]> 2022-10-12 17:18:58 UTC https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/epu7h17aj2yl1wbu/wish/2337409303 laylahsummers2024 https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/epu7h17aj2yl1wbu/wish/2337414741 Copernicus is very important in the identification of the Heliocentric theory of the solar system.

1. Force and Inertia - “an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant speed and in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force” This is telling us that an object won't move (or stop moving) unless another thing forces it to. If a ball was rolling down a hill, that ball would not stop until it hits something, whether that is a rock, or if there is more friction added to the ground, for example, if the ground was sandy.
2. Force, Mass, and Acceleration - “The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.”  This law tells us that the speed, or growth of speed, of an object, depends on the force applied and how much the object weighs.
3. Action and Reaction - “Whenever one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite on the first.” If you put force onto something else, it will push just as much force back at you. Say you push onto the ground with 125 lbs of force, the ground is pushing back up to you with 125 lbs of force.]]> 2022-10-12 17:36:46 UTC https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/epu7h17aj2yl1wbu/wish/2337437343 https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/epu7h17aj2yl1wbu/wish/2337438333 Robert Boyle was an Irish philosopher and writer, he lived from January 25, 1627, until December 31st, 1691.

He later joined a group of philosophers and social reformers known as the Hartlib Circle. In 1654 he was invited to Oxford where he helped form the Experimental Philosophy Club. He worked on the invention of the air pump with Robert Hooke. Their discoveries led to the discovery of air pressure and the invention of vacuums.

With Leeuwenhoek discovering this and his extensive research on the growth of small animals helped disprove the theory of spontaneous generation of life. This was the hypothetical process by which living organisms develop from nonliving matter.
