Why Are These True? Science Is Or Isn't Study Guide

Disagreement between scientists is not one of the weaknesses of science

Disagreement leads to critiques on methods, ideas, and searches for new evidence which means it's more accurate

Science cannot only disprove ideas

Falsification is not the whole picture it's never completely proved or disapproved

a scientific theory is not merely a guess

It is a well sustained exclamation that includes a well tested hypothesis

a hypothesis is not just an educated guess about anything

It is testable and is the best explanation and more

Investigations that dont reach a firm conclusion are not useless and unpublishable

Most studies don't reach a firm conclusion there overturned and discussed

if evidence supports the hypothesis it is not upgraded theory. if the theory then garners even more support, it is still not upgraded to a law

One cannot become another. How much is supported it will not happen.

Scientific ideas are not absolute and unchanging

Science can change with new evidence or perspective to make it more accurate

Science does not prove ideas

Science doesn't prove or disprove anything it can change proof isnt scientific

Science is not complete

Science isn't finished it's an ongoing process one thing leads to another

Anything unscientifically is not always accurate and reliable

Scientifically is overused. It can still be done poorly, just because it's called science doesn't mean it is. It can disobey the scientific rules which is called pseudoscience.

Scientists are not completely objective to their evaluation of scientific ideas and evidence

Scientist try to be unbiased but they all have personal beliefs and goals

The job of a scientist isn't to find support for their hypotheses

Scientists have their favorite hypothesis but they consider others and they still make a contribution

Science is not primarily a search for truth

Sometimes science can try to falsify it's not hundred percent true and they do tried to seek understanding for natural phenomenon but there are limits that make it uncertain

Not every study done carefully and based on observations is scientific

Studies that are scientific need critical analysis findings, explanations for observing, and testing.

Science cannot use supernatural explanations if necessary

Supernatural explanations cannot be tested. natural explanations can. supernaturals is beyond natural laws which means it's unpredictable

even though scientific ideas are tentative and subject to change, they still can be trusted

The reason this happens is because it's becoming more accurate. this is normal. It's supported by evidence which means it's usually reliable

Not all scientific problems must be studied with the scientific method

The scientific method is to simple, science is non-linear, that's why we use the "how science works" simple flowchart

Experiments aren't a necessary part of the scientific process without experiment a study is rigorous or scientific

There are many ways to test though controlled experiments are the best they can use observations and strategies

Scientists have not solve most of the major mysteries of nature

There's a lot more to study and discovered

science is not most concerned with collection of facts

science is a body of knowledge (textbooks) but its also a process (not whole picture)
