MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. WHY ARE NATURAL SCIENCES ALSO REFERRED TO AS “PURE”
SCIENCES?
A. THEY ARE CONSIDERED STAND-ALONE BODIES OF UNIQUE
KNOWLEDGE.
B. THEY ARE THE ONLY SCIENCES TO WHICH THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
CAN BE APPLIED.
C. THEY ARE THE ORIGINAL SCIENCES UPON WHICH ALL OTHERS ARE
BASED.
D. THEY ARE NOT AFFECTED BY SUBJECTIVITY IN THE WAY OTHER
SCIENCES ARE.
CORRECT ANS:>A
NATURAL SCIENCES ARE OFTEN REFERRED TO AS “PURE” SCIENCES
BECAUSE THEY FOCUS ON UNDERSTANDING THE NATURAL WORLD
THROUGH INDEPENDENT, OBJECTIVE KNOWLEDGE. THESE SCIENCES,
SUCH AS PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, AND BIOLOGY, ARE CONSIDERED
FOUNDATIONAL IN BUILDING KNOWLEDGE AND ARE NOT DIRECTLY TIED
TO SPECIFIC PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS LIKE APPLIED SCIENCES.

SOCIAL WORK, PSYCHOTHERAPY, AND EXAMINATION OF CARE
DISPARITIES—ARE APPLIED SCIENCES BECAUSE THEY INVOLVE DIRECT
APPLICATION OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE TO ADDRESS SOCIETAL AND
HEALTH ISSUES.
3. ROBERTA FIRMLY BELIEVES THAT INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCES ARE THE
SOURCE OF ALL KNOWLEDGE IN THE WORLD. AS A SCIENTIST, SHE
ACKNOWLEDGES HER ROLE AS A PARTICIPANT IN THE EXPERIMENTS

MOST CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH WHICH SCHOOL OF SCIENTIFIC
THOUGHT?
A. NATURAL SCIENCE
B. HUMAN SCIENCE
