Scientists review the work of other scientists to . a) ensure the results are in agreement with accepted scientific beliefs . b) guarantee federal funding by supporting each other's work . c) keep the science community better informed . d) validate the results and check the evidence's reliability .

The correct answer is D. validate the results and check the evidence's reliability.

In the scientific world of research all results of experiments and theoretical proposals must be reviewed and validated by other scientists otherwise results/theories are not reliable and will not be taken seriously or even considered as empirical. Everything in the world of science needs to be tested and retested, theorized and re-theorized until a clear consensus is reached as to what is correct.

overview:

this is a technology-dependent lesson that students can guide at their own pace of exploration and learning. students share what they learn through the use of twitter (or alternative classroom sharing medium like todaysmeet). the use of a social sharing platform like twitter gives students a place for sharing with a wider audience, for more effective means of communication with each other, for incorporating viewpoints from all students in the classroom, and a means to reference thinking and learning by the use of a hashtag at a later time. students will understand the role the allied air forces played in the normandy invasion. teachers can use this as a stand-alone lesson or offer more structure by guiding students through each source, one by one. teachers may learn more about the eighth air force by accessing the abmc’s strategic bombing campaign interactive.
