  1. ARISTOTLE

  2. INDUCTION The drawing of probable inferences from various particulars.

  3. EXAMPLE v 1 6 t 2 3 Measure speed versus time of a falling body for short times

  4. DEDUCTION The drawing of necessary inferences from given premises EXAMPLE: If a>b and b>c, then it follows that a>c

  5. THE LYCEUM Largest school of organized scientific study the world had seen. METHOD: Define the problem. Summarize earlier work. Present his arguments and conclusions.

  6. THE ELEMENTS Fire, Air, Water, Earth are each a combination of: Hot or Cold, Wet or Dry

  7. COMPARATIVE ANATOMY We should approach the investigation of every kind of animal without being ashamed, since in each one of them there is something natural and something beautiful. And the end, for the sake of which a thing has been constructed or has come to be, belongs to what is beautiful.

  8. THE CAUSES OF MOTION: NATURAL MOTION Laws of natural motion. Speed of fall is proportional to weight. Speed of fall is inversely proportional to the density of the medium.

  9. THE CAUSES OF MOTION: VIOLENT MOTION Violent motion is motion in any other direction than that of natural motion for that object. Requires an applied force. Speed is proportional to the applied force.

  10. MOTION OF CELESTIAL BODIES Celestial bodies are made of a fifth element, aether, whose natural motion is circular. Somewhere between the earth and the moon, terrestrial elements give way to aether.
