Ptolemy believed that the Earth was in the middle of our solar system which was geocentric. People believed that theory for a 1000 years. Copernicus had a theory that the Earth was tilted on an axis and he said that the sun was in the middle of our solar system which was heliocentric. Giordano Bruno was burned at stake for believing Copernicus's theory. Galileo was sentenced for house arrest for also believing Copernicus's theory, so he sat at home eating Milky Way bars. Galileo also found the Milky Way and objects orbiting Jupiter with his spyglass. Sir Isaac Newton found three laws: forces, matter, and motion. From these he published the law of gravity. Sir Isaac Newton was also a physicist and mathematician.

Hi Mrs. Martin! I tried to blog yesterday, but my password didn't work. If someone asked me, I would say that that Ptolemy CLEARY thought that Earth was in the center of the universe. I think this is called geocentric. This theory lasted for a thousand years! Then, Copernicus came and said that the Sun was in the center of the universe. Giordano Bruno, an Italian scientist was burned alive at the stake for believing Copernicus's shocking new theory.Then Galileo made a spyglass and saw mountains on the moon, the Milky Way was made of stars, and there were objects orbiting Jupiter.He was later warned that he should not believe in Copernicus and was sentenced house arrest for the rest of his life. Sir Isaac Newton was an English physicist and mathematician who published the three laws of matter, motion, and forces. From these laws he created the law of gravity. I hope all that is right, because I want to get a good score on the quiz.

Hi again! I am going to blog again because I forgot to say that Copernicus's shocking new theory was called heliocentric.(I hope I spelled that right!!!)

!!!!!PERSON!!!!! said...

I think they are all good and smart(except copernicus I mean a 1000 years that we were in the center?!?!)Oh and yes I am studying.

!!!!!PERSON!!!!! said...

Oops I accedently put copernicus it was actualy ptolemy that thought he was so smart when he was wrong all along:).

Kevin Chang said...

I rember galeoio by his Milkyway bar.
I remember copernicus by hi sylabls.
I remember Poltomey by clearly.

We already took the test, though.
Copernicus is the founder of modern astronomy.
Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake.
Ptomely believed that the Earth was the center of the solar system.
Galileo found the Milky Way.
Sir Issac Newton published the law of gravity.

Sorry I didn't post earlier. When I think of Galileo I think of a guy layying on a couch eating milky way bars.( And yes I did study.)

Ptolemy believed that the Earth is the center of the solar system which is called geocentric.Copernicus believed that the sun is the center of the solar system which is called heliocentric.Giordano Bruno belived Copernicus and was burned at the stake.Galileo also believed Copernicus and saw then Milky Way!And he was house arrested for his whole life!Sir Isaac Newton also believed Copernicus and mad up three laws but the most important is gravity.

Hi Mrs.Martin!I know that I always blog late,so I'll always try my best to make it up by typing good answers to answer your wonderful questions.Anyways,Ptolemy believed that the earth was the center of the whole solar system,which is called geocetric.This belief lasted for a thousand years.Then, a man named Copernicus believed that the sun was the center of the solar system and the earth orbits around the sun,which is called heliocentric.Two men believed Copernicus.One of them was Geordano Bruno and he was burned on a stake.Another guy was Galileo who was put in house arrest.Galileo made a spyglass and saw a milkyway.Sir Isaac Newton,a physicist and mathematicion,published three laws and one of them were about gravity.Bye m-team queen.

Ptolemy said that clearly the Sun revolved around the Earth.Copernicus said no,no,no!the Sun was clearly in the center of the solar system!Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake 4 believing Copernicus,Galileo was sentenced to house arrest for the same thing,and Sir Isaac Newton made the three laws of gravity.(huff,huff,huff,huff,huff,huff,huff)i'm tired of talking
