Which option accurately describes scientific theories?

(Select all that apply.)

have withstood the testing of a number of scientists through a number of investigations


are descriptions of phenomena that can be observed to consistently happen over and over again


have developed from the arguments that have verified certain hypotheses


are testable questions that can be investigated through experimentation

A,C?

bri, i know i may be late but for those who are in the same class as me in primavera or those to come the answers for this question is:

-have developed from the arguments that have verified certain hypotheses
-have withstood the testing of a number of scientists through a number of investigations
good luck fellow students!

Yes, your answer is correct. Options A and C accurately describe scientific theories.

To arrive at this conclusion, let's break down each option:

A) Scientific theories have withstood the testing of a number of scientists through a number of investigations. This statement highlights the rigorous testing and validation that scientific theories undergo. A scientific theory is not established lightly; it requires extensive evidence and experimentation to support it.

C) Scientific theories have developed from the arguments that have verified certain hypotheses. This statement emphasizes how scientific theories are built upon verified hypotheses. Hypotheses are proposed explanations for specific phenomena, and when these hypotheses are tested and supported by evidence, they contribute to the development of scientific theories.

On the other hand, options B and D do not accurately describe scientific theories.

B) "Are descriptions of phenomena that can be observed to consistently happen over and over again" describes scientific phenomena rather than scientific theories. Scientific theories go beyond mere observations and provide explanations for phenomena.

D) "Are testable questions that can be investigated through experimentation" describes scientific hypotheses rather than scientific theories. Hypotheses form the basis for experimentation and investigation, while theories are broader and encompass multiple hypotheses and supporting evidence.

Therefore, the accurate options are A and C.
