Document Summary
Isb 204-001: scientific knowledge is built through a complex process that relies, in part, on observation of nature. If an observation is made in the correct way, its meaning is straightforward and is not subject to interpretation. False: scientific theories may be changed because scientists reinterpret existing observations. True: the process of science allows scientists to definitively prove or disprove hypotheses and theories. False: well-supported hypotheses become theories, and well-supported theories become laws. False: all cultures conduct scientific research the same way because science is universal and independent of society and culture. False: scientific research is not influenced by society and culture because scientists are trained to conduct pure , unbiased studies. False: the process of science involves a system of checks and balances to ensure that work is of high quality and that evidence is interpreted in an objective way. True: unlike many other professions, science is almost always a solitary endeavor.
