Evaluating Scientific Explanations

Question 2 • FL-2001340-Environmental Science A-CR

Lila found a new bacteria that made an antibiotic with the same strength as penicillin, but with less chance of giving people an allergic reaction. She performed a controlled experiment, repeated it many times, and had several others confirm her findings.Which would most likely be her next move?

Answer
A
rethinking her experiment
B
getting it peer reviewed
C
increasing the sample size
D
performing multiple trials

Explanation

After conducting a controlled experiment, repeating it, and having others confirm the results, Lila should submit her findings for peer review. In peer review, other scientists evaluate the methods and evidence before the results are published or accepted. Increasing the sample size or performing more trials would be useful earlier if the study needed more data.
