Question

how do tools and technology contribute to our understanding of our natural world?

○ they help to perform better investigations

○ with better tools, we can discover new evidence about the natural world

○ both statements are true

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option states that tools and technology help perform better investigations. In the context of understanding the natural world, better investigations (like using advanced microscopes in biology or telescopes in astronomy) are crucial for gathering data.
• The second option says that better tools allow discovery of new evidence. For example, new imaging technologies in geology can reveal previously unknown rock formations or structures, providing new evidence about Earth's history.
• Since both statements accurately describe how tools and technology contribute to understanding the natural world (better investigations lead to new evidence and vice versa), the third option is correct.

Answer:

C. Both statements are true (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C as "They help to perform better investigations", "With better tools, we can discover new evidence about the natural world", "Both statements are true" respectively)
