Questions: Question 2 (4 points) Scientific inquiry involves which of the following: 1) Making observations. 2) Reviewing what is already known in light of experimental evidence 3) Both A and B 4) Conducting scientific experiments. Question 3 (4 points) Critical thinkers tend to be adept at which

Solution Steps

The question asks which of the provided options are involved in scientific inquiry.

1. Making observations is a fundamental part of scientific inquiry.
2. Reviewing existing knowledge in light of experimental evidence is crucial for building upon previous discoveries and refining scientific understanding.
3. Options 1 and 2 are both correct.
4. Conducting scientific experiments is a core component of scientific inquiry.

Since making observations, reviewing existing knowledge, and conducting experiments are all part of scientific inquiry, the most comprehensive answer is "Both A and B," which encompasses observations and reviewing existing knowledge. While experiments are part of scientific inquiry, the given options A and B are sufficient on their own, and including experiments (option D) is unnecessary as option C already covers two aspects of scientific inquiry.
