The Scientific Method was an idea that was developed in the late 1500's. It is a process of challenging ideas and theories. Before this idea, people would just believe a theory without understanding the thought behind it. Scientists started to use the Scientific Method to test theories and ideas to see if they could prove or disprove them.
Like for example, if you wanted to prove that plants grow faster with sunlight. You would first observe two plants, one given sunlight and one not given sunlight. You would then analyze the growth of the plants over a time period and track it. Then according to the data you gathered, you would decide if your hypothesis is true or not. You can do the Scientific Method as many times as you need to until you come up with a definite answer.
