1. What is Scientific Revolution?

- Scientific revolution refers to the resurrection of modern-day science.


This can be said to have happened when developments in various branches
of studies, especially in chemistry, physics, math, astrophysics and biology,
completely transformed the way of doing many things.

2. How can science be defined?


- In 2009, the Science Council agreed that it wanted to be clearer when it
talked about sound science and science-based policy. The Science Council
has “science” in its name but had not previously clarified what this actually
meant. In addition to developing a better understanding of what types of
organizations might become members, it was felt that the recent inclusion
of the advancement of science as a charitable activity in the 2006 Charities
Act suggested that in that context a definition would be useful; this was
how this definition arose.

3. What are the different Levels of Organization in order


and be able to define each?
 - The biological levels of organization of living things arranged
from the simplest to most complex are organelle, cells, tissues,
organs, organ systems, organisms, populations, communities,
ecosystem, and biosphere.
4. What were the scientific Revolutionary Ideas of the ff?

     a) Charles Darwin


- Darwin’s revolutionary theory was that new species arise naturally, by a
process of evolution, rather than having been created—forever immutable
—by God. According to the well-established creationist theory of Darwin’s
day, the exquisite adaptations of many species—such as the hinges of the
bivalve shell and the wings and plumes on seeds dispersed by air—were
compelling evidence that a “designer” had created each species for its
intended place in the economy of nature.
     b) Nicolaus Copernicus
- Copernican Revolution, shift in the field of astronomy from
a geocentric understanding of the universe, centered around Earth, to
a heliocentric understanding, centered around the Sun, as articulated by
the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century. This shift
marked the start of a broader Scientific Revolution that set the foundations
of modern science and allowed science to flourish as
an autonomous discipline within its own right.
     c) Sigmund Freud
- Through the development of a novel observational method, Sigmund Freud
made possible the collection of reliable data about man's inner life. The scientific
hypotheses he formulated about these formed the initial version of
psychoanalysis. Many of these first thoughts have had to be revised in the light of
subsequent scientific findings about the operations of the central nervous
system, but even these refuted propositions often had much heuristic value.
Despite the passage of a whole century, many Freudian hypotheses have retained
their scientific standing. Most important among these was Freud's realization that
human thought is usually unconscious. His understanding of the role of the
automatic repetition of basic patterns of behavior, of the fateful consequences of
early childhood emotional vicissitudes in structuring enduring mental
dispositions, and of the distinction between two distinct modes of thinking are
the most significant among his many contributions.
