Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method
The Scientific Revolution changed the way people thought. The Scientific Method is a way a person can check if someones theory is right or wrong. Long ago people believed everything they heard, if someone had an idea or a guess about something one would hear it and say that it is true. A lot of people believed in Aristotle and his theory's because it sounded right but people stopped believing around the 1500's. When the scientific method was introduced scientists tested his theory's and proved if he was right or wrong.
The scientific method is still used today.It is used in school when your doing a lab or inside real scientist labs when they're trying to prove a point. There are 4 steps in the scientific method.
1.Observation - When you find a problem or a topic
2. Hypothesis - Just a well thought out guess on what the outcome will be
3. Experiment - Actually conducting an experiment to prove your hypothesis wrong or right.
4. Conclusion - When you gathered your work, and have found an answer.
