Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method

The Scientific method refers to a body of techniques for investigating, or acquiring new knowledge. Scientists use the scientific method to search for cause and effect in relationships in nature. In other words, they design an experiment so that changes to one item cause something else to vary in a predictable way. The scientific method deals with constructing a hypothesis, designing an experiment and explain your result. Scientist designed many experiments in order to prove certain things in life and in nature. Aristotle was proven wrong so many times. Many other scientists after him were able to prove certain experiments. So basically they didnt accept a given idea or theory. They came up with their own conclusions.
