Scientific Revolution: Scientific Method

Scientific Method
The scientific recolution is a time in history where people wondered how/why/is that true. Aristotle had his theory that heavy objects fall faster than a lighter object. Galileo challanged his theory, went up to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and dropped stones of different weights. He challanged Aristotles theory by using the scientific method: testing, observing and recording down the experiments. They would experiment many times to prove the original out-dated theory wrong and theirs to be right. Thus the scientific method was created, it contains four steps:

1. Observe and describe a theory or idea about the universe.

2. Create a scientfic guess, a hypothesis about the theory/idea.

3. Come up with a conclusion of what you think is the correct theory/idea about some part of the universe.

4. Conduct properly preformed experiments many times, to prove your theory/idea.
