Evaluating Scientific Explanations

Question 13 • Physical Science Sem 1 (2003310) BCPS 2026-27

Which is one way that scientists ensure that data is reliable?

Answer
A
through data display
B
by replicating experiments
C
through Internet research
D
by providing clear explanations

Explanation

Scientists can check whether a result is reliable by repeating the experiment and seeing whether they get similar results. This process is called replication. Therefore, “by replicating experiments” is the correct choice; displaying data or explaining it clearly does not by itself confirm that the findings can be reproduced.
