What sources best illustrate the Scientific Revolution as gradual change?

[Savannah78]

I'm teaching a high school history of science course, and I'm designing a unit on the Scientific Revolution that moves beyond the standard Galileo-versus-the-Church narrative. I want students to grapple with the complex, gradual shift in natural philosophy, including the roles of instruments, patronage, and communication networks. For other educators, what primary sources or case studies have you found most effective for illustrating this transformation? I'm considering having them compare excerpts from Ptolemy, Copernicus, and Kepler on planetary motion, or analyze the correspondence between key figures. How do you help students understand that this was less a sudden revolt and more a contested, centuries-long rethinking of knowledge itself?
