Modules 8-10

What is the Geocentric Theory primarily about?

• The sun is the center of the universe.

• The moon revolves around the Earth.

• Earth is the center of the universe, with the planets, stars, and sun revolving around planet Earth.

• The planets revolve around the sun in elliptical orbits.

Who supported the Heliocentric Theory and what was its main proposal?

• Johannes Kepler - the planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun.

• Galileo Galilei - the sun and other celestial bodies revolve around the Earth.

• Nicolaus Copernicus - the sun is the center of the universe, with the planets, including Earth, and the stars revolving around the sun.

• Isaac Newton - introduced the concept of gravity affecting planetary orbits.

What were Johannes Kepler's contributions to the Heliocentric Theory?

• He paid for its research and development.

• He discovered that the planets did not revolve around the sun in a circle.

• He developed the laws of planetary motion that describe the orbits as elliptical.

• He disproved the Heliocentric Theory.

What were Galileo Galilei's major contributions to astronomy and science?

• He invented the telescope.

• He helped with astronomy and had many new discoveries.

• He confirmed the phases of Venus.

• He supported the Geocentric Theory.

Who developed and popularized the scientific method during the Scientific Revolution?

• Sir Francis Bacon

• Galileo Galilei

• Johannes Kepler

• Rene Descartes

True or False: Sir Isaac Newton developed the four Laws of Motion.

• True

• False

What is one of the three scientific Laws of Motion discovered by Isaac Newton?

• An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon

• An object in motion will stay in motion unless it is blown up

• An object's motion can only be changed by external forces

• An object will move at a constant velocity unless acted upon

How did Sir Isaac Newton's laws of motion contribute to the development of physics?

• They defined motion on Earth which led to the development of physics

• They disproved earlier theories of motion

• They introduced quantum mechanics

• They focused solely on celestial bodies

• True

• False

What were the main crops grown by the Aztecs, Maya, and Inca?
