!|X ! | X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X
and improving our simplest and best explanations using data, not in proving the

properties of science. Which statement is NOT true about science?
!|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X
A) Science is concerned about understanding the natural world.
!|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X
B) Science approaches data in a personal or subjective manner.
!|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X

4) What is a hypothesis? !|X !|X !|X
A) A tentative statement, based on information or data, that explains a large

number of observations and guides experimentation.
!|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X
B) A report of the findings of scientific experiments.
!|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X

A) Experiments or observations are conducted to test a hypothesis.!|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X
B) A hypothesis can be tested many times using different methods.
!|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X !|X
