Question

Theories change as new information becomes available. Which actions are most likely to lead to the discovery of new information? Check all that apply.
A. repeating experiments using the same experimental method each time

B. repeating experiments using the technology available at the time of the original experiment

C. repeating an experiment using the latest technology

D. developing a new experimental method to test an existing hypothesis

Answer 1

Answer: C. repeating an experiment using the latest technology

D. developing a new experimental method to test an existing hypothesis

Theories refers to the facts which are proved by evidences found in an experimental study. These theories are followed in a research plan, until the development of new information takes place.

A. repeating experiments using the same experimental method each time:  This will lead to the development of similar results are found and observed in the old research based experiment. Therefore, the there will be no uniqueness in the current research.

B. repeating experiments using the technology available at the time of the original experiment : Old experiment might have utilized old technologies but new technologies can replace old methods and equipment, so as to make the experiment accurate, easy and time savy.

C. repeating an experiment using the latest technology: This will help in conducting an experiment in an easy way, will save time and increase accuracy of results. Therefore, will lead to the discovery of new information.

D. developing a new experimental method to test an existing hypothesis: A new experimental methodology can be applied with respect to the existing hypothesis. This will result in development of new results and conclusions with respect to the previously existing hypothesis. Therefore, will lead to the discovery of new information.

Answer 2

Since theories change as new information becomes available, the actions that are most likely to lead to the discovery of new information are the following:
C. Repeating an experiment using the latest technology
D. Developing a new experimental method to test an existing hypothesis
The answers would be options C and D.
