How do Dalton and Democritus differ from the way they use the scientific method? First I that that I should tell you a little bit about the back from where they came and the time period that they came from. John Dalton lived in the late 1700's early 1800's he was a physicists, meteorologist, and English chemist. Dalton was also one of the key contributors for the creation of the current day model of the atom. Now a little bit about Democritus. Democritus he was alive in about 460 BC, he was also ancient Greek philosopher and he formulated one of the atomic theories. Now that you know a little bit about each of these people you know that they came from completely different time periods. With that said you know that John Dalton had much more technology to experiment with and technology to check and see if he was right. Unlike Democritus who didn’t have anything to check and see if he was right most of what he found out was just based on a hypothesis. Now you know how these two people used the scientific method differently.
