How did the renaissance contribute to the scientific revolution? renaissance thinkers encouraged individuals to question how things work, and scientists began to test these ideas with experiments during the scientific revolution. renaissance thinkers focused little on observation of the natural world, and the scientific revolution was an inevitable rebellion against this practice. because renaissance scientists were largely unsuccessful, the church was forced to fund a scientific revolution to improve quality of life. because renaissance scientists used such accurate measurements in their experiments, later scientists could drastically improve the scientific process in other areas.

Renaissance thinkers encouraged individuals to question how things work and scientists began to test these ideas with experiments during the Scientific Revolution.

This movement representatives promoted curiosity, investigation, and discovery. The also prompted people to question old beliefs. During the  era of the Scientific Revolution, people began of use experiments and mathematics to understand those mysteries.  

Science and art were related. Artists, such as Leonardo da Vinci,  studied anatomy to better understand the body so he could better paint and make sculptures. Architects such as Filippo Brunelleschi studied math in order to design buildings. The true talented people of the time were often both artists and scientists.

Later, near the end, the Scientific Revolution began. This was a time of great advances in science and mathematics and inventions of Francis Bacon, Galileo, Rene Descartes, and Isaac Newt changed the world.
