Experimentation and data collection provides solution to certain problems. It helps to solve an hypothesis formulated providing results and serve as guide for further experiments.
1. A scientific hypothesis is best described as an "educated guess." - False
2. Failure to disprove a hypothesis proves that the hypothesis is correct.- False
3. Scientific theories are never questioned.- False
4. A scientific theory is based on educated guesses and is not backed up by facts/data.-False
5. Scientists that contribute data that contradicts an established theory are not highly regarded in the scientific community.- False
7. Scientific facts are never questioned.-False
The True
6. In order for an investigation to be considered scientific, a controlled experiment must be used.- True
A control serves as a guide in an experiment as the experimental variable is tested with it to see the possible changes or outcome.
8. Science can only answer questions about things that can be seen and observed.- True
Science provides solutions to problem that have been identified, for which data are generated in respect to the problem identified and solutions are provided.
9. Untestable hypotheses fall outside the realm of scientific inquiry -True
An hypothesis should be testable, it is the problem statement that requires a solution.
