Question

the scientific revolution in particular had a large influence on the ideas of the enlightenment. the scientific revolution was a period when people began trying to better understand the world through asking questions, making observations, and using reason. below are some theories and discoveries of the scientific revolution. match each event from the scientific revolution with the enlightenment idea that it led to. if humans can understand the movement of planets in space, then they can develop theories to better understand other parts of the world, too. if ancient ideas about the world could be wrong, then humans should find new ways to learn about the world. if humans can use a set of steps to gather evidence and answer scientific questions, then they can also use those steps to answer questions about society. scientific revolution events francis bacon developed a process to understand the world by making observations and collecting evidence. isaac newton used math and observation to develop a theory that helped explain gravity and how planets move. rené descartes (ruh-ney dey-kahrt) discovered errors in how ancient scientists understood the world. enlightenment ideas

Explanation:

• For Francis Bacon's process: The idea of using steps (scientific method steps) to answer questions about society matches with "If humans can use a set of steps to gather evidence and answer scientific questions, then they can also use those steps to answer questions about society."
• For Isaac Newton's theory: His work on planetary movement (using math and observation for a theory) relates to "If humans can understand the movement of planets in space, then they can develop theories to better understand other parts of the world, too."
• For René Descartes' discovery: Finding errors in ancient ideas (as he did) connects to "If ancient ideas about the world could be wrong, then humans should find new ways to learn about the world."

Answer:

• Francis Bacon developed a process to understand the world by making observations and collecting evidence → If humans can use a set of steps to gather evidence and answer scientific questions, then they can also use those steps to answer questions about society.
• Isaac Newton used math and observation to develop a theory that helped explain gravity and how planets move → If humans can understand the movement of planets in space, then they can develop theories to better understand other parts of the world, too.
• René Descartes discovered errors in how ancient scientists understood the world → If ancient ideas about the world could be wrong, then humans should find new ways to learn about the world.
