- Q1
The model of the atom has changed over the past 200 years. Which of the following best explains why scientific models change over time?
Science must always change as times change.
A. New evidence has been introduced through scientific discoveries.
A. Scientists had to create better explanations to keep publishing.
A. Technology, such as the internet, makes it easier to change scientific ideas.
120s - Q2
A scientist has a hypothesis that is different from the current scientific theory. What should happen to this scientist's hypothesis?
People can accept the hypothesis if they want, but others can choose to reject it.
If the scientist is famous, then the hypothesis should be accepted, and the theory should be changed.
The hypothesis should be rejected if it does not agree with the current theory.
The hypothesis should be tested, and the results should be used to determine if the theory should change.
