Question

how can we continue to expand on our understanding of the natural world (including the atom), and either confirm or refute currently proposed ideas? (select all that apply) ask questions conduct experiments accept all current models of natural phenomenon as truth and dont question anything

Explanation:

To expand understanding of the natural world and test ideas, the scientific method involves asking questions (to identify gaps/curiosities) and conducting experiments (to gather evidence). Accepting all current models without question hinders progress, as science relies on questioning and revising ideas. So "ask questions" and "conduct experiments" are correct, while the third option is incorrect.

Answer:

• ask questions
• conduct experiments
