What is the definition of the scientific method? (1 point)
the process by which a theory is supported with
observation and experimentation
the process by which a scientific discipline is accepted by
scientists
the method by which a theory is deemed correct through a
vote of responsible scientists
the method scientists use to publish their work
the process by which a theory is supported with observation and experimentation
The correct answer is: the process by which a theory is supported with observation and experimentation.
The correct answer is "the process by which a theory is supported with observation and experimentation." To arrive at this answer, we can break down the options and eliminate the incorrect ones.
A) "the process by which a theory is supported with observation and experimentation": This option accurately describes the scientific method.
B) "the process by which a scientific discipline is accepted by scientists": This option describes the process of acceptance within the scientific community rather than the method itself.
C) "the method by which a theory is deemed correct through a vote of responsible scientists": This option suggests that scientific theories are validated through a vote, which is not accurate. Scientific theories are supported by evidence, observation, and experimentation, not by voting.
D) "the method scientists use to publish their work": This option refers to the process of publishing scientific work but is not a comprehensive description of the scientific method itself.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer, and it aligns with the definition of the scientific method.
