Scientific Revolution

Scientific method
- The scientific method is a way of proving theories right or wrong. For example Aristotle had a theory that the heavier an object is the faster it will fall. People believed him for 1,500 years. Then came a young Italian man in the 1500's named Galileo. Galileo wanted to test out Aristotle's theory for himself. So he decided to use the scientific method.

-The Scientific method consists of a couple of procedures. First you need to make an observation which means gather all the information you know about the experiment. second you make a educated guess on what you will think will happen, which is also called a hypothesis. Then comes the real deal, now you may do the experiment and test it out. Last but not least you may make a conclusion about your results.
