Question

select the statement(s) that are true about science.

scientific laws are often revised to include new evidence.

scientific knowledge is able to exist, be trusted as factual, and be changed with new evidence.

scientific theories and ideas are never modified or changed. new evidence means the original thought must be discarded.

only scientific theories are able to be changed with new evidence. scientific laws are not able to be modified.

a scientific theory is supported by evidence and continues to be a theory, even when it is changed due to new evidence.

Explanation:

• Scientific laws are often revised to include new evidence: Scientific laws are based on repeated observations and experiments. As new evidence emerges, they can be refined. For example, Newton's laws of motion were later adjusted in the context of Einstein's theory of relativity for extreme conditions (very high speeds or strong gravitational fields).
• A scientific theory is supported by evidence and continues to be a theory, even when it is changed due to new evidence: Theories are well - supported explanations. The theory of evolution has been modified over time as new fossil records and genetic evidence have been discovered, but it remains a theory.
• Only scientific theories are able to be changed with new evidence. Scientific laws are not able to be modified: This is incorrect. As mentioned above, scientific laws can also be revised. For example, Kepler's laws of planetary motion were based on Brahe's observations. Later, Newton's laws of gravitation provided a more fundamental understanding, and in the context of general relativity, further refinements were made for certain celestial mechanics problems.
• Scientific theories and ideas are never modified or changed. New evidence means the original thought must be discarded: This is wrong. Science is a dynamic process. The geocentric model (Earth - centered universe) was replaced by the heliocentric model (Sun - centered universe) as new astronomical evidence (like Galileo's observations of Jupiter's moons) emerged. But the process was not just discarding; it was building on and modifying ideas.
• Scientific knowledge is able to exist, be trusted as factual, and be changed with new evidence: Scientific knowledge is based on evidence. For instance, our understanding of the structure of the atom has changed from the plum - pudding model to the nuclear model (Rutherford) and then to the quantum mechanical model. Each change was based on new evidence (like the results of the gold - foil experiment and quantum phenomena), and at each stage, the knowledge was considered factual based on the available evidence at that time.

Answer:

Scientific laws are often revised to include new evidence; A scientific theory is supported by evidence and continues to be a theory, even when it is changed due to new evidence; Scientific knowledge is able to exist, be trusted as factual, and be changed with new evidence.
