Section 1.2 Main Ideas- Biologists used controlled expeiriments to obtain data that either
do or do not support a hypothesis. By publishing the results and conclusions of an expieriment, a
scientist allows others to try to verify the results. Repeated verification over time leads to the
development of a theory.
