Science Homework Help

Schoolcraft College Anomalies and Hypothesis Discussion

 

Please answer all questions,

Is one anomaly enough to disprove a hypothesis? If not, how many are? Why is it important that scientists use all of their results and not just some of them? What should we do if the evidence neither supports nor contradicts the hypothesis?

Class Discussion Topic

How much evidence do we need to conclude that a hypothesis is true? Should it be different for different situations? For example, compare testing a medicine that could have bad side effects to working out which of two approved fertilizers most improve crops.
