Hypotheses, Theories, and Laws

Question 3 • FL-2000315-Biology 1 CR

Theories change as new information becomes available. Which actions are most likely to lead to the discovery of new information? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
repeating experiments using the same experimental method each time
B
repeating experiments using the technology available at the time of the original experiment
C
repeating an experiment using the latest technology
D
developing a new experimental method to test an existing hypothesis

Explanation

The latest technology can measure or reveal details that older equipment could not, so repeating an experiment with it may uncover new information. A newly developed experimental method can also test an existing hypothesis in a different way and reveal evidence that the original method missed. Simply repeating the same method or using the original technology is less likely to provide new information.
