Scientific method refers to a body of techniques for acquiring new knowledge. The person who made this method was Ibn-al Haytham.A lot of scientific methods where used from the ancient Egyptians or from the bible.The first experimental scientific method was developed by Muslim scientists. One experiment that was used by using the scientific method was when scientists thought that the earth was the center of the universe. They thought that the other planets and stars(including the sun) was revolving around the earth. The scientists thought that the earth was still and never moved but later on it was proved wrong. The first scientist to challenge this theory was Copernicus. He proved that the earth was not the planet that was staying still but actually it was the sun that stayed still and the sun's binding force is what is keeping everything in the universe together. He was one of the people who used the scientific method.

I enjoyed your essay on the history of scientific method. I was especially pleased that you mentioned Ibn al-Haytham’s contributions to its development. If your readers would like to know more about him, I would like to recommend my new book, Ibn al-Haytham: First Scientist. Written for young adults, it is the world's first full biography of the eleventh-century Muslim scholar known in the West as Alhazen or Alhacen.
