MULTIPLE CHOICE
1) A Characteristic Of Science Is That:
A) It Is Not Explained By Natural Laws.
B) Its Hypotheses Are Testable.
C) Its Conclusions Are Final.
D) It Is Not Falsifiable.
E) It Seeks To Define The Vitalistic Forces Of Life.
Correct Ans: B
A Defining Feature Of Science Is That Its Hypotheses Must Be Testable—This Means
They Can Be Supported Or Refuted Through Observation And Experimentation.
Scientific Ideas Must Be Subject To Scrutiny And Empirical Investigation. Options A, D,
And E Contradict The Scientific Method, And C Is Incorrect Because Scientific
Conclusions Are Provisional And Subject To Change Based On New Evidence.
2) During The Creation Court Case In Arkansas, Judge Overton Defined The Essential
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.
Correct Ans: B
Science Relies On Objectivity, Not Subjectivity. Statements A, C, And D Are
Characteristics Of The Scientific Method. Science Seeks To Understand The Natural
,World, Forms Testable Hypotheses, And Remains Open To Revision As New Data
Emerge. Subjectivity (Option B) Introduces Bias, Which Science Works To Eliminate.
3) Much Of Science Is Based On An Approach Known As The ________ Method.
A) Natural
B) Inductive-Deductive
C) Hypothetical
D) Hypothetico-Deductive
Correct Ans: D
The Hypothetico-Deductive Method Is The Structured Approach Used In Modern
Science. It Involves Forming Hypotheses Based On Observations, Deducing Testable
Predictions, And Conducting Experiments To Test These Predictions. This Iterative
Process Refines Scientific Understanding Over Time. Options A And C Are Too Vague
Or Inaccurate, And B, Though Related, Is Not The Standard Term.
4) What Is A Hypothesis?
A) A Tentative Statement, Based On Information Or Data, That Explains A Large
Number Of Observations And Guides Experimentation.
B) A Report Of The Findings Of Scientific Experiments.
C) A General Statement Made To Infer A Specific Conclusion, Often In An "If . . . Then"
Format.
D) Using Isolated Facts To Reach A General Idea That May Explain A Phenomenon.
Correct Ans: A
A Hypothesis Is A Provisional Explanation For Observations That Can Be Tested
Through Further Investigation. It Provides A Basis For Designing Experiments And
Predicting Outcomes. While Hypotheses Often Take An “If...Then” Format (Option C),
That Format Is A Way Of Expressing A Hypothesis—Not The Definition. Options B And
D Are Definitions For Different Scientific Elements (E.G., Data Report And Inductive
Reasoning, Respectively).
,5) Which Statement About A Hypothesis Is NOT Correct?
A) Experiments Or Observations Are Conducted To Test A Hypothesis.
B) A Hypothesis Can Be Tested Many Times Using Different Methods.
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.
Correct Ans: C
Science Does Not "Prove" Hypotheses With Absolute Certainty—Rather, It Supports Or
Refutes Them. Even A Well-Supported Hypothesis May Later Be Revised Or Rejected If
New Evidence Contradicts It. Option C Is A Common Misconception. Options A, B, And
D Accurately Reflect How Hypotheses Are Tested And Treated In Science.
6) Which Of The Following Best Describes A Conceptual Scheme In Science That Is
Strongly Supported, Has Not Yet Been Found Incorrect, And Is Based On The Results Of
Many Observations?
A) A Scientific Paradigm
B) Descriptive Research
C) A Scientific Theory
D) Experimental Results
Correct Ans: C
A Scientific Theory Is A Well-Substantiated Explanation Of Some Aspect Of The
Natural World That Is Based On A Body Of Evidence And Has Stood Up To Repeated
Testing. Unlike A Hypothesis, A Theory Has Broad Explanatory Power And Is
Supported By Multiple Lines Of Observation And Experimentation. A Paradigm (A) Is
More Of A Worldview Or Overarching Framework, Not Necessarily Tested. Descriptive
Research (B) And Experimental Results (D) Are Components Of The Process, Not
Overarching Conceptual Schemes.
, 7) Attempting To Understand Proximate Or Immediate Causes In Biology Requires This
Type Of Approach:
A) Evolutionary.
B) Descriptive.
C) Theoretical.
D) Experimental.
Correct Ans: D
Proximate Causes Deal With The Immediate Physiological Or Biochemical Mechanisms
Underlying Biological Functions. The Experimental Approach Is Used To Test
Hypotheses About These Mechanisms By Manipulating Variables And Observing
Outcomes. Evolutionary Approaches (A) Focus On Ultimate Causes (Why Something
Evolved), While Descriptive (B) And Theoretical (C) Approaches May Generate
Hypotheses But Don't Directly Test Them.
8) What Is The Goal Of Using The Experimental Method To Investigate Proximate
Causes In Biology?
A) To Disprove Biological Principles Or Theories.
B) To Test Our Understanding Of A Biological System.
C) To Better Mankind By Inventing Something Unique.
D) To Prove Or Disprove The Existence Of God.
Correct Ans: B
The Experimental Method Is Designed To Test Hypotheses And Refine Our
Understanding Of Biological Systems. This Scientific Approach Aims To Discover How
Systems Function, Not To Disprove Established Theories (A), Pursue Inventions (C), Or
Address Metaphysical Questions Like (D), Which Lie Outside The Scope Of Science.
9) To Have A Frame Of Reference Against Which To Compare Experimental Findings,
A Scientist Must:
