Strictly speaking, most scientists would argue that there is no such thing as The Scientific Method. Scientists adopt a wide variety of methods to get closer to the truth in different problem situations.

There are, however, lots of cases where a more scientific approach has brought us better understandings. Galileo, for example, did not just watch a chandelier swinging like a pendulum. He counted the number of swings over a fixed period of time (he measured time by using his heartbeat) He took measurements when the chandelier was swinging in big and small swings. He repeated the experiment changing one variable at a time., using pendulums with different weights or different lengths, for example. He looked for mathematical relationships between the numbers he obtained and so on. From our modern viewpoint, you might say that if he had not done these things he was not "doing Science" as we currently understand it.
