Evaluating Scientific Design

Question 9 • RVACR Ecology

What is true of experimental designs that are used in scientific research?

Answer
A
The designs use the same steps in every kind of research.
B
The designs follow a general method that is familiar to all scientists.
C
The designs ensure that the experimental data supports the hypothesis.
D
The designs are kept secret so that others must do their own experiments.

Explanation

Scientific research uses a general method for planning and conducting experiments, though the specific steps can vary depending on the research question. This means the designs follow a method familiar to scientists. They do not guarantee that results will support a hypothesis, and research designs are shared so other scientists can evaluate or repeat the work.
