Unit 5: Renaissance & Scientific Revolution
Unit 5 covers topics such as the Scientific Revolution (how did thoughts about science change? Our solar system and place in this universe? etc) and the Italian Renaissance (meaning "rebirth", this time period followed Medieval Europe and was a revival of classical ideals from Greece and Rome). We discuss key people such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Machiavelli, and more. Students will be breaking down the impact of powerful families such as the Medici on the arts, literature, scientific advancement, and the role of the church and city-states. We will also look at Humanism as an intellectual and social movement of the time. |
