We ranked the ten scientists we learned about for the Scientific Revolution. In second hour, Andreas Vesalius won, followed by Isaac Newton, and then William Harvey in third. Harvey won in both 4th and 5th hours, with Newton 2nd and Vesalius 3rd in 4th hour, and Vesalius 2nd and Nicolaus Copernicus 3rd in 5th hour.
On Monday we will begin our examination of the Enlightenment.

We completed the exploration learning targets with an overview of the Ming naval expeditions of Zheng He, and the isolationism of the Tokugawa Shogunate, with the resulting push for industrialization with the Meiji Restoration.
I then introduced the Scientific Revolution/Enlightenment unit and distributed the packets.
