CHAPTER II
LESSON 1
• Articulate ways by which society is transformed by science and technology.
• Enumerate the development of science from different parts of the world.
• Explain the scientific revolution that caused the paradigm shift
In prehistoric times, people moved over a particular territory searching for
whatever food happened to be available. This lifestyle involved large amounts
of movement, walking, and carrying heavy objects. Knowledge was passed
from generation to generation in an oral tradition. The development of writing
enabled knowledge to be stored and communicated across generations with
much greater exactness. Consequent advancement in agriculture resulted to
surplus of food and made it possible for early civilizations to develop and
more time to be devoted to tasks other than survival, such as the search for
knowledge.
MIDDLE EAST
Agriculture was crucial to Mesopotamians
in ancient Sumer (Iraq) due to their arid climate.
They relied on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers'
annual floods to irrigate their crops, using silt for
fertility. They were inventive, creating bronze tools
and inventing the wheel, plow, and plow seeder by
3000 BCE. They had crop planting manuals, a lunar
calendar, and traded surplus grain for various
resources, achieved through irrigation by building
canals, ditches, and dikes from the rivers.
MIDDLE EAST
MIDDLE EAST
The civilization of ancient Egypt was indebted to the Nile River and its dependable
seasonal flooding. The river's predictability and the fertile soil allowed the Egyptians to
build an empire as the basis of great agricultural wealth, Egyptians are credited as being
one of the first groups of people to practice agriculture on a large scale. This was possible
because of the ingenuity of the Egyptians as they developed basin irrigation. Their
farming practices allowed them to grow staple food crops, especially grains such as wheat
and barley, and industrial crops, such as flax and papyrus

CHAPTER II
LESSON 2
• The Emerge of Modern Science
• The Enlightenment
• The driving force behind scientific revolution
• The history of humanity
The Scientific Revolution was a transformative period in history that reshaped society's
understanding of nature through developments in mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology, and
chemistry. It encompassed changes in thoughts, beliefs, social structures, and institutions.
The Scientific Revolution began in Europe at the end of the Renaissance (around 1280-1400) and
lasted until the late 18th century, shaping the intellectual movement known as the Enlightenment.
Man's curiosity, creativity and critical thinking are the driving forces behind the scientific
revolution. Humans' curiosity and eagerness to explore the world led to new ways of thinking
about and studying nature.
The Scientific Revolution stands as a pivotal moment in human history, marked by significant
inventions and the contributions of brilliant thinkers. These individuals played a crucial role in
bringing about change, and their work continues to influence our lives today.
Nicolaus Copernicus
Copernican Revolution
Nicolaus Copernicus
“There may be babblers, wholly ignorant
of mathematics, who dare to condemn my
hypothesis, upon the authority of some part of the
Bible twisted to suit their purpose. I value them not
and scorn their unfounded judgement”
Copernican Revolution
Nicolaus Copernicus
Real name: Mikolaj Kopernik, from Warmia,
North Poland.
1491: Enrolled at University of Krakow, he was
known as Nicolaus Copernicus (Latin name)
• At the age of 18, Copernicus enrolled at the
University of Krakow
Copernican Revolution
Copernicus in Italy
Heliocentric ( sun-centered )
cosmos
The Sun was positioned at the center of the
universe, motionless, with Earth and the
other planets orbiting around it in circular
paths modified by epicycles and at uniform
speeds.

apprentice.
Copernicus’ view of the Universe
• The Earth is not the center of the universe
• The center of the universe is near the sun.
• The Earth-Sun distance is negligible compared to the distance to the stars.
• The apparent annual cycle of movements of the sun is seen because the earth is orbiting it.
• The apparent retrograde motion of the planets is caused by the fact that we observe them from a
moving location, because the earth is orbiting the sun.
based on his heliocentric universe theory
Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium
• 1532: Copernicus identified the Earth's place in the
universe.
De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium
• The Revolutions of the Celestial Sphere.
• Was officially out to the public in 1543, before his death.
• Triggers the Copernican Revolution.
• Important contribution to the Scientific Revolution.
Charles Robert Darwin
Darwinian Revolution
Charles Robert Darwin
“Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than do
knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much,
who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by
science”
Darwinian Revolution ( 1809 – 1884 )
Charles Robert Darwin
Born in the merchant town of Shrewsbury in England. He
came from a line of wealthy scientists. His father was a
medical doctor and his grandfather, a botanist. He was a
naturalist and biologist known for his theory of evolution
and the process of natural selection.
Darwinian Revolution ( 1809 – 1884 )
Darwin’s Theory of Evolution
Darwin proposed that species can change over
time, that new species come from pre-existing
species, and that all species share a common
ancestor. He stated that each species has its own
unique set of heritable (genetic) differences from
the common ancestor, which have accumulated
gradually over very long time periods.
Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection
The Theory of Evolution by natural selection was first
formulated in Charles Darwin's book "
On the Origin of Species" published in 1859. In his
book, Darwin describes how organisms evolve over
generations through the inheritance of physical or
+behavioral traits. The theory starts with the premise
that within a population, there is variation in traits, such
as beak shape in one of the Galapagos finches Darwin
studied.
• Natural selection explains how genetic traits of a species may change over time. This
may lead to speciation, the formation of a distinct new species. Darwin chose the
name natural selection to contrast with “artificial selection,” or selective breeding
that is controlled by humans.
• Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms
adapt and change. Individuals in a population are naturally variable, meaning that
they are all different in some ways.
• Darwin's theory of evolution and the process of natural selection later became
known simply as "Darwinism."
• Survival of the fittest means that organisms that are better adapted to their
environment are best suited to survive and successfully reproduce. "Survival of the
fittest" is an expression, developed from Darwin's theory of evolution.
