Question

Which of the following is true about scientific inquiry?
A) All scientists use the same method of scientific inquiry
B) Scientific inquiry includes one scientific method
C) Scientific inquiry is an ongoing and repetitive process
D) Scientists try to avoid using scientific inquiry

Answer 1

The answer is C, as the idea of the scientific method is to continuously test hypothesis in an attempt to prove them wrong. If you cannot prove them wrong, then they must be true, and you have your theory of whatever. It will remain a 'theory' because science demands that you continue to true and poke holes in it, but so long as you never successfully prove it wrong the theory becomes more and more factual.
