Question 3 • FL-2003010-M/J Physical Science

Which describes the best approach when conducting a scientific experiment?

Answer
A

B
conduct a single trial and make sure the experiment can be replicated
C
conduct repeated trials and make sure the experiment cannot be replicated
D
conduct a single trial and make sure the experiment cannot be replicated

Explanation

Repeated trials help show whether results are consistent rather than due to chance or an unusual outcome. The procedure should also be replicable so other researchers can repeat it and check the findings. Therefore, the best approach is to conduct repeated trials and make sure the experiment can be replicated.
