Answer: B
Section: 01.01
Topic: Principles Of Science
Learning Objective: 01.01 Explain That Science Consists In Testing, Possibly Rejecting, And
Improving Our Simplest And Best Explanations Using Data, Not In Proving The Correctness Of
A Conjecture.
Bloom's: 2. Understand
Gradable: Automatic

Properties Of Science. Which Statement Is NOT True About Science?
A) Science Is Concerned About Understanding The Natural World.
B) Science Approaches Data In A Personal Or Subjective Manner.
C) Conclusions Of Science Are Subject To Change Based On New Findings.
D) Science Establishes Hypotheses That Have The Potential To Be Tested And Disproved.

4) What Is A Hypothesis?
A) A Tentative Statement, Based On Information Or Data, That Explains A Large
Number Of Observations And Guides Experimentation.

C) Data That Support A Hypothesis Actually Prove It To Be True.
D) If Data From Experimentation Does Not Lend Support To A Hypothesis, The Hypothesis
Must Be Rejected Or Revised.
