If an experiment disproves a scientists hypothesis,what should the scientist do next?
A.)Develop a testable question.
B.) Revise the hypothesis and try the experiment again.
C.)Develop a theory based on the data gathered in the experiment.
D.)Change the dependent variable.
Please help me, I need help :)
B is probably the best answer -- but the experiment should also be revised.
Thank you Ms.Sue
You're welcome, Snoopy.
Typically, one repeats the experiment again...just to be certain...
Do what the Global Warming folks do ... keep cherry-picking your data until you finally find a sample that does fit your narrative. Because as you know, if your findings don't match what the Govt wants to hear, then you can kiss your Govt Grant money good-bye, which means now you'll be forced to go out and find a regular job at the local mall.
yeah why would a teacher give us answers
If an experiment disproves a scientist's hypothesis, the scientist should revise the hypothesis and try the experiment again. The process of scientific inquiry involves forming a hypothesis and then conducting experiments to test it. If the results of an experiment contradict the hypothesis, it means that the initial assumption was incorrect or incomplete. In such a case, the scientist should take into account the new information provided by the experiment and modify the hypothesis accordingly. By revising the hypothesis and conducting the experiment again, the scientist can further refine their understanding of the phenomenon being studied and potentially move closer to a valid explanation. Therefore, option B) "Revise the hypothesis and try the experiment again" is the correct course of action in this scenario.
