Astronomy & the Scientific Method Writing Assignment.

(1) In your own mind, WHAT is the scientific method?

(NOTE:  Use these terms to help you organize your thoughts:  

  • Question
  • Observations - Collect data
  • Hypothesis
  • Experiment/Test/Model
  • Conclusion
  • Communication

(2)  Using what you’ve learned in Astronomy, how did Galileo use the scientific method to discover the moons of Jupiter?  How did the technology of the day help him make - and communicate - this discovery?

Attached as well is the Primary Document Source for Galileo for your reference
