Before present day people had different ways of thinking about science. Around the 1500's people looked to things such as the bible, and anicient Greek to come up with their hypothesis about the universe and science. People who believed in Christianity and the ancient Greeks taught others about what they thought without the scientific method we have today. The scientific method is experimenting repeatedly to find the truth of an experiment. That is what the scientist in today's time is doing now.
For example, at one point in time it was believed that the earth was flat. People thought once you got to the edge of the earth you would fall off into space. For a while that was an untested theory. After awhile scientist started testing that theory. They found out after research a tests that the world was indeed round and not flat. When you came to the end you would not fall off because of gravity. Theories were tested more and more to find out it was true or false. That is why the scientific method is a big part of the scientific revolution.
