Question

Write a paragraph to explain why the characteristics important to scientists lead to the development of scientific knowledge.

Answer 1

Benefits of science
The process of science is a way of building knowledge about the universe — constructing new ideas that illuminate the world around us. Those ideas are inherently tentative, but as they cycle through the process of science again and again and are tested and retested in different ways, we become increasingly confident in them. Furthermore, through this same iterative process, ideas are modified, expanded, and combined into more powerful explanations. For example, a few observations about inheritance patterns in garden peas can — over many years and through the work of many different scientists — be built into the broad understanding of genetics offered by science today. So although the process of science is iterative, ideas do not churn through it repetitively. Instead, the cycle actively serves to construct and integrate scientific knowledge.

Answer 2

As you may already know, scientific knowledge is extremely necessary for the evolution and development of human beings and the society we know. This is because scientific knowledge promotes the creation of increasingly efficient technologies that improve our lives in several aspects. In addition, it allows several phenomena that happen in the universe to be explained in a coherent way and with scientific data. All of this is accomplished through research managed by scientists. These scientists need to have some characteristics for scientific knowledge to be established. Among these characteristics we can mention a curious, questioning and rational nature.
