Part V: Short Answer 21. Developing scientific attitudes in students fosters critical
thinking, encourages curiosity, and promotes ethical behavior in scientific endeavors. It
helps them approach problems with an open mind and a commitment to truth. 22.
Observing involves gathering information through the senses, while inferring involves
making interpretations or conclusions based on those observations. 23. Curiosity drives
scientists to explore new questions and conduct experiments, leading to discoveries that
expand our understanding of the world. 24. Intellectual honesty ensures that scientific
findings are reported truthfully, which is essential for the credibility and progress of
science. 25. An example of risk-taking in science is the development of the first vaccine
by Edward Jenner. Despite the risks, Jenner's experimentation led to the discovery of a
method to prevent smallpox, which revolutionized medicine.
