World History, 11th Grade Lesson Plan

I. Objective: Students will learn about the development of the heliocentric theory in order to summarize conflicts with the Catholic Church.

II. Warmup: What is Boyle's Law?

III. Instruction: Scientific instruments a. Newton's Three laws of physics. "BODIES IN MOTION" []

1. Law of Inertia: a body in rest will stay in rest unless acted upon by an outside force. A body in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.

2. Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. F=MA

3. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

IV. Guided: Galileo Handout. Papers

V. Independent: Continue working on papers.

What is the Scientific Revolution?

III. Instruction: Difference between the geocentric and heliocentric views of the solar system?

__geocentric theory:__ earth centered view of the universe. Planets and sun revolved around the earth. Aristotle and Ptolemy. Before the telescope. Christianity thought that God put the Earth at the center of it all! in the center of the universe.

IV. Guided: Why would Catholic Church object to the heliocentric system? What happened to Galileo and Copernicus? If you were Galileo or Copernicus what would you have done?

V. Independent: Scientific Inventor Chart

VI. Assessment: Teacher walk around and monitor student work

VII. Closure: Students will take notes on their inventor (15 minutes)
