William Harvey


William Harvey was a doctor. King Charles was one of his patients.

William Harvey said that the heart was a pump and blood circulates through the body. He experimented with dead bodies, frogs, and other animals by using the Scientific Method. Not that many people believed him. They thought that sometimes people needed to bleed and they had too much blood. Getting rid of the "extra" blood when they were sick would help them get better. William Harvey said losing our blood probably makes us weaker, not better. Later on, a few other doctors experimented with dead bodies and animals too and they prooved that he was right all along.

To anonymous,
Hannah fulfilled her requirement for this day. It is a fourth grade class. She does not do lengthy research on each person. She needs to know who they were and why they are important and she hit on all of that. She did her assignment, other kids need to do their own research fitting their assignments.
