Scientific Revolution

The Scientific Revolution was known as a new way of thinking that challenged most people's ideas. The ancient Greeks and the Church taught us that the earth was the center of the universe. We were told that the sun and all of the planets revolved around the earth, but the Scientific Revolution tells us otherwise. Scientists didn't accept any theory, they conducted experiments over and over again just to reach their own conclusions. Isaac Newton explained the laws of gravity and our modern understanding of physics.

The Scientific Method is a process by which scientists, collectively work on to construct an accurate representation of the world. A theory is a framework within which observations are explained and predictions are made.

Create a question/Identify the problem.
Problem: Collect information.
Form a hypothesis.

Test the hypothesis.
Procedure: Experimental design.

Observations Make observations.
& data: Assembles tables & graphs.

Support or reject hypothesis
based on data.
Conclusions: Report & publish results.

An experiment that we would do using the Scientific Method would be to measure your shadow different days of the week at different times. You would make a hypothesis of how tall you think your shadow will be or if it will be the same height everyday at different times.
