Science and society do not interact. Scientific investigations include many
different steps. During a scientific investigation, which step occurs after a
scientist collects data? Draw conclusions. Plan the experiment. Form the
hypothesis. Follow the procedure. Taken a vacation. Stopped conducting
tests. Tested the same hypothesis. Designed new wing shapes. an analysis
by decision makers. Science to to m m meet eet eet the the the Early
scientists thought the shapes of birds’ wings helped birds fly. In their first
experiments, they made wings with the same thickness and shape from
front to back. This didn’t work. What might these scientists have done
after they analyzed their results? Based on your observations, you
suggest that the presence of water could accelerate the growth of bread
mold. This is _____________ a hypothesis a conclusion an experiment Which

knowledge to produced really advanced devices that do certain jobs. None
of the other answers are correct. Anything electronic or highly advanced.
Using our scientific knowledge for practical purpose. Suppose a Scientist
must choose whether to publish a report in a newspaper or in a peer-
reviewed journal. What is a benefit of publishing in the journal? Other
scientists will know that everything in the report is true. The quality of the
report will meet high scientific standards. The reviewers will fix mistakes

ideas because they might confuse you. Listen to the ideas of others and
share your own ideas. Decide not to do the experiment because you have
different ideas. What do you call the organized set of investigation

people. Achieve perfection in everything that the people do in their lives.
Complicate the condition of the life of the people. Make the life of the
people easier, faster and more comfortable. e. e. Which of the following is
the MOST appropriate platform for scientists to publish the results of their
experiments? Television, radio, and the Internet. Letters to friends.
Academic papers, science magazines, and on the Internet. Books,
magazines, and comic books. Conclusion for an experiment are only valid
if ______________. the conclusion is based all on all available evidence the
experiment was controlled (fair test) the conclusion is based on evidence
all of the above ee What does the phrase “the the the technology we
imply? The future of of of humanity is is is dependent on we we create

technology we we we create today. .. The condition of the life of the
people in the future is independent of the technologies created today.
Technology is the culprit of the environmental problem people will face in

_______________. Which of these statements describes how scientific ideas
change? BEST Scientists form opinions based on evidence and decide how
the idea should change. New evidence leads to modification of ideas. As a
scientific idea changes, it eventually becomes a scientific theory and then
a law. Scientific ideas rarely change, because they are based on extensive
evidence. What do you call the application of knowledge learned through
