Explanation:

1. For the question about other ways of knowing, intuition, religious or spiritual beliefs are common non - scientific ways. Intuition is a gut - feeling based way of understanding, while religious or spiritual beliefs are based on faith systems.
2. Scientists investigate to solve practical problems like developing new medical treatments or cleaner energy sources, and to expand knowledge in a field, for example, understanding the origin of the universe or the evolution of species.
3. A theory in science is a well - substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experimentation. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation. A fact is an objective and verifiable observation or piece of information.
