If different groups of scientist have access to the same data, how can they draw different conclusions?

Scientists manipulate data to fit their hypotheses, which results in different conclusions.
Scientific predictions must list every possibility, and so scientists are not technically incorrect.
Scientists have different specialties and will interpret data differently, depending on their specialties.
Scientific predictions are not usually testable, so this leads to different conclusions.

I'm leaning towards C

ganeshie8 · Answer

Me too...

flashp · Answer

Can you help me with two more, that's it.

flashp · Answer

Which statement offers an explanation for why some parts of John Dalton’s atomic theory were proven to be false?

 Scientists today are more diverse and have more educational training.
 Mistakes were made in key calculations during experimenting.
 Extensive repeated testing was not completed to verify the results.
 Technology available at that time was limited.

ganeshie8 · Answer

We may eliminate A and B

flashp · Answer

Nice thinking, I too eliminated A and B, leaning towards D.

ganeshie8 · Answer

Yeah D sounds good

flashp · Answer

Last one, and thank you. 

How do the elements change as you go to the right along a row of the periodic table?

 The number of valence electrons decreases.
 The number of protons increases.
 The average atomic mass decreases.
 The atomic radius increases.

flashp · Answer

Again, leaning towards D

ganeshie8 · Answer

That is a very intuitive guess. But it is wrong. Atomic radius actually decreases as you move right along a row : http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s118/hi78953/AtomicRadiusTrendIK.png

flashp · Answer

B?

ganeshie8 · Answer

Yep!

ganeshie8 · Answer

Number of protons decides what atom it is.

flashp · Answer

Yes! I was thinking that at first.

flashp · Answer
