🗑
|
||||
| What is a theory | explanation of a natural phenomenon supported by many observations and experiments over time
🗑

| What is true about scientists and debate | Scientists welcome debate... they attend meetings and discuss new development often disagreements occur and additional investigations are done to back up their claims
🗑
|
||||
| What is true about observations and experimentation in science | they need to be unbiased
