Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method

The scientific revolution was when scientist started to experiment the theories people had of how earth started and came from. They called it the scientific method because they experimented over and over to prove or disprove the idea. An example was "Aristotle had a theory that heavy objects fell faster than lighter objects." Then they did a test and said that objects of different weights fall at the same speed and proved Aristotle wrong. Then another scientist called Isaac Newton and explained the laws of gravity proving Aristotle wrong again. He said that there was a universal law of gravitation that applied equally to earth and the heavens.
The example a young Italian named Galileo was that he test the theory that heavy objects fell faster then lighter objects. Legends say that he went up to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and dropped stones of different weights. He proved Aristotle wrong by showing that objects of different weights fall at the same speed. For example if you drop a bowling ball and a baseball at the same time they will fall at the same speed.
