Answer 1

To determine which chart accurately represents the achievements of the Renaissance scientists listed, let’s match each scientist with their correct achievement based on historical knowledge:

1. Leonardo da Vinci - Known for his inventions and plans for flying and underwater devices.
2. Nicolaus Copernicus - Proposed the heliocentric model, stating that the sun is the center of the universe.
3. Tycho Brahe - Established an astronomical observatory and conducted extensive astronomical observations.
4. Johannes Kepler - Calculated the orbits of the planets and developed the laws of planetary motion.
5. Galileo Galilei - Invented an improved astronomical telescope and made significant observations of celestial bodies.

Now let's identify which chart reflects these true contributions:

• The first option incorrectly attributes Galileo with the invention of the telescope and does not accurately pair the other scientists with their achievements.

• The second option is mostly correct:

  • Leonardo da Vinci - Created plans for flying and underwater devices
  • Nicolaus Copernicus - Proposed the sun was the center of the universe
  • Tycho Brahe - Established an astronomical observatory to track the movement of the stars and planets
  • Johannes Kepler - Calculated the orbits of the planets revolving around the sun
  • Galileo Galilei - Invented an astronomical telescope to observe the moon (though this is a common misconception; he improved upon existing designs)

• The third option inaccurately assigns various achievements to the scientists.

• The fourth option incorrectly attributes achievements as well.

The best option that accurately matches the scientists with their achievements is the second option:

Renaissance Scientists

• Leonardo da Vinci: Created plans for flying and underwater devices
• Nicolaus Copernicus: Proposed that the sun was the center of the universe
• Tycho Brahe: Established an astronomical observatory to track the movement of the stars and planets
• Johannes Kepler: Calculated the orbits of the planets revolving around the sun
• Galileo Galilei: Invented an astronomical telescope to observe the moon

Therefore, the second chart is the correct answer.
