Scientific Method
Francis Bacon’s creation of the scientific method was very helpful towards recording data and making observations today. -
Johannes Kepler

Telescope
Without this invention by Galileo, we wouldn’t have as much of a clear understanding of the placements of the stars and planets. -
Robert Boyle
Robert Boyle studied the pressure of gas and volume. He also invented Boyle’s law. -
Sir Isaac Newton
Sir Isaac Newton invented calculus and developed the universal law of gravity. He also provided a clear understanding of optics. -
Gravty
