10. Technology, science and society are closely linked. Discoveries in Science may lead to new technologies Those technologies may enable scientists to ask new questions, or gather data in a new way

11.  Peer Review: Research and papers are reviewed by other scientists  Reviewers look for mistakes or other problems  Work may be published in scientific journals  Sharing Knowledge and new Ideas: Sometimes findings lead to new questions;  This means new hypotheses and new controlled experiments

12.  Theory: Is a well-tested explanation that accounts for a lot of observations and hypotheses.  It allows scientists to make good predictions  Ex: Darwin: Theory of evolution  NO THEORY IS THOUGHT TO BE THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH  A theory may be changed or replaced
