In which of the following ways can scientific knowledge change and grow? (1 point)
a large number of experiments challenge a prevailing theory
a single experiment disproves a prevailing theory
experiments reaffirm the validity of a prevailing theory
a popular scientist states that a prevailing theory is not correct
All of the above ways can contribute to the change and growth of scientific knowledge.
choose one
If I had to choose one, I would say that a large number of experiments challenging a prevailing theory is an effective way for scientific knowledge to change and grow. This is because when multiple experiments consistently produce results that conflict with a prevailing theory, it prompts scientists to reassess and potentially revise their understanding of the topic. It encourages scientific inquiry and the development of new explanations and theories that better align with the evidence.
so which one? A,B,C or D?
Apologies for the confusion. The correct option would be:
a large number of experiments challenging a prevailing theory.
