It seems entirely (physical / natural /typical /real) to us that there are teams of scientists in universities and other institutions around the world, attempting to (create / invent / construct / discover) the way the world works.However, it hasn’t always been that (route /method / way / technique). Although the scientific method is now four or five hundred years old, the ancient Greeks, for example, believed that they could work out the (aims / reason / causes/ impulses) of natural events just by the power of thought. During the 17th century, more and more people began to realize that they could (calculate / estimate / measure / test) their scientific ideas by designing relevant (experiment / research / attempt / analysis) and seeing what happened. A lot of (development / movement / progress / evolution) was made in this way by individual scientists. These men and women often worked alone. Carrying out (research / experiment / discovery/ education) into many different areas of science, and they often received very little (award / prize / gift / reward) for their hard work. At the start of the 20th century, though, it became (clear / true / accurate / actual) that science was becoming more complicated and more expensive. The individual scientist disappeared, to be replaced by highly qualified teams of experts. Modern science was born.
