One statement is an example of a scientific observation. Another statement is an example of a scientific explanation.

Identify the correct statement for each category to illustrate how scientific explanations are inferred from scientific observations.

Monotremes are mammals that
have significantly different body
structures and reproductive
strategies from other mammals.

Monotremes have likely undergone
an evolutionary history that is distinct
from other types of mammals.
People should ignore all evidence
indicating that most species of
dinosaur went extinct at the
end of the Cretaceous period.
It is not possible to collect
evidence supporting or challenging
the standard model of quantum
mechanics.
It is unnecessary to research
the composition and origin of
elementary particles because
the Bohr model is accurate.
Flaws in the Bohr model of the
atom should be used to discredit
the idea that all matter is made
up of atoms.
