True
False
11
The Scientific Revolution will spark which era to begin?

scientists did not want to share their data with other scientists
data compiled using this method could occur more quickly
16
What was the issue with Fahrenheit's thermometer?
it was too expensive for most scientists to afford
it was too bulky to be used easily in experiments
its scale for temperature was cumbersome for scientists
the wooden material it was made up burned in some experiments

all of the choices
18
Which groups condemned the heliocentric theory?
the peasants
women
some scientists
church leaders
19
The first scientific theory to be questioned and innovated was
regarding the theory of motion and result in universal law of gravitaiton
regarding set up of the solar system and resulted in heliocentric theory

20
Because of the Scientific Revolution what else began to be questioned?
who should be provided educational opportunities
the natural laws of society and how humans were being treated
the divine right theory
how the economic systems were structured benefiting nobles and monarchs

it could lead to further questioning of church teachings

28
Some monarchs supported the Scientific Revolution and gave titles to some scientists and skeptics like Newton and Bacon.
