1. What are the characteristics of scientific thinking and investigating? 2.Why is science literacy important? 3.What skills and tools do scientists use? 4.Why is the use of the inquiry process (or scientific method) a practical way to approach science? 5.Why are scientific theories modified, but seldom discarded? 6.How has science and technology influenced everyday life?
I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO ANYONE WHO ANSWERS!!!!!!!!

1) Empiricism : Also called empirical evidence maybe classed as natural evidences used to butress or support a certain notion or fact usually attainable from experience or teaching.

11.) Rational : Rational thinking or attribute could simply be tagged as reasonable and do not negate laid down facts.

111.) Skepticism: This is very imperative in scientific research as it opens the way to further research enabling researchers to gather more evidences required to establish a strong argument.

2.) IMPORTANCE OF SCIENCE LITERACY

Science literacy simply empowers mankind. Nourishing researchers or literates with the knowledge of its natural environment and enabling them understand, explore and exploit resources in our environment.

3.) Skills and tools scientist need :

Skills :

1) Curiosity: The ability to frame and and ask questions is key to establishing a purpose for research. Asking the right questions is key in a scientific process.

11) Data gathering or collection: Obtaining the right data capable of proferring the essential solution to our research question is key to obtaining logical insight.

111) Communication: Once research is complete, it is essential that researchers possess the skills required in transmitting their conclusion in a way which is both simple, logical and sensible.

Tools include common laboratory equipments such as beaker, testube, measuring cylinders, microscope and so on.

4.) The scientific or inquiry method provides a stepwise, easy to understand and logical approach to problem solving, Hence, providing a lucid and evidence - based conclusion which is both practicable and reproducible.

5.) The main reason for the modification of scientific theories is that they are susceptible to further research or study. As a result of evolution and change in trend depending on various natural and environmental factors, modification may occur in the form of review without abrogating previously existing studies.

6.) Science and technology has enabled mankind to adjust and cope with the continuous evolutionary changes in our environment. Enabling us to use these findings to ease our everyday living standard.
