Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method
Back in the 1500s, scholars used ancient Greek and Romans or the bible to get ideas about science. When the scientific revolution came about, scientists learned that much of the information and beliefs that was taught for thousands of years was wrong. The scientific method was used to prove or disapprove an idea or belief during an experiment. The scientific method consists of five steps; the problem, hypothesis, experiment, observation and results and conclusion. The problem is the idea or theory in which would like to learn about or experiment on. The hypothesis is a prediction of the outcome of your experiment. After these two steps, you then perform your experiment and take notes on what you observed happening. You put all the new information that was learn during the experiment together, and establish whether your hypothesis or beliefs was correct or incorrect.
