The Scientific Revolution

     In the 1500s people thought that the planets revolved around the earth. It is actually that all the planets revolves around the earth, so that means that the sun is at the center of the universe. A scientist named Galileo tested Aristoltle theory and he was wrong that bigger objects fall down faster than smaller objects. Galileo proved that bigger objects and smaller objects fall down at the same speed. They called this part of science the scientific method.
     The scientific method, " is the process by which scientists, collectively and over time, endeavor to construct an accurate representation of the world. The scientific method has four steps that explains how to do an experiment. The first step is to do observations, the second step is to form a hypothesis to be ruled out, also the third step that uses the hypothesis and predicts what would happen next. The last fourth step performs the experiments.
