The Scientific Revolution
Scientific Method
five-step process used to investigate scientific hypotheses
1. identify a problem
2. form a testable hypothesis
3. experiment
4. record experiment results
5. analyze results to form a conclusion
The Scientific Revolution and Method led to major advances in a variety of areas.
