Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method

The scientific method is what scientist use to determine the truth about something
This is how it works. First you need to make an observation in the universe. Then you must create a hypothesis that you thinks makes sense of what you observed. Then using your hypothesis make a guess. Then you must create an experiment to test your hypothesis. After seeing your results you need to update your hypothesis based on those same results. Keep on doing that until your hypothesis can perfectly predict the outcome of the experiment.
An example of the scientific method is Charles Darwins thoery of Evolution. He noticed something about animals and how the evolved. He created a hypothesis about natural selection and by observing many different animals around the world over and over. He made conclusion that animals evolved over time thus creating the theory of evolution.
