Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method

Before the 1500s, a lot of People would beleive in something based on what other humans said. No one dared asked for any clues or proofs to support their answer. People continued to beleive in things that weren't proven until the Scienitfic Revolution. The Scienitfic Revolution was a new way of thinking that challenenged these so - called facts proved by the Ancient Greeks and Romans.

The Scientific Method and the Scienitific Revoulution is quite different. Many of us students have used a procedure quite similar to the Scienitific Method. The Scienitific Method include an Observation, Analysis, and Hypothesis. When this method was created, Scientists refused to consume the knowledge of just people. They constantly and constantly experimented to prove or disprove an idea or statement.

One example of a scientist that used the Scientific Method was Galileo. Galileo tested Aristotle wrong when he said heavier objects would be able to fall faster than lighter objects. For approxmiately 1.500 years many believed of this theory. One day, Galileo took numerous objects of numerous weights, and threw them down the Leaning Tower of Pisa. As Galileo dropped the objects he observed that all objects fall at the same rate.
