Why did you complete more than one trial during the Using the Scientific Method experiment?

Group of answer choices

It is good to practice your experiment procedures.

It shows consistency in test results which demonstrates that they are replicable.

You should repeat an experiment over and over until you get the results you want.

It is fun to repeat an experiment over and over.

Answer:

Completing more than one trial during the use of a scientific method experiment shows consistency in test results which demonstrates that they are replicable.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the scientific method, the phase of experimentation is carried out both to check if a hypothesis is correct and to refute it. In this sense, the realization of several trials during the experimentation ensures that reliable results are obtained.

The repetition of trials during the experimental phase not only gives greater strength to the final conclusion, but can demonstrate that the experience can be carried out repeatedly obtaining the same result.

The other options given are not correct because:

  • During the experimental phase there is no opportunity to practice procedures.
  • The repetition of trials is done to obtain consistent data and not to repeat until the desired result is obtained.
  • Experimentation should be serious and not done for fun.
