Question

mrs. geist is working with her class to find out why some people live longer than others. which assignment would best exemplify popular thinking after the scientific revolution?
○ mrs. geist instructing her class to interview three healthy older people
○ mrs. geist requiring her students to read three books on aging and health
○ mrs. geist asking her class to research \old wives tales\ on health
○ mrs. geist telling her students to take notes on two research studies

Explanation:

After the Scientific Revolution, popular thinking shifted toward empirical research and scientific studies. Taking notes on two research studies (option D) aligns with this, as research studies use scientific methods. Interviewing people (A) is anecdotal, reading books (B) may include non - scientific content, and researching "old wives' tales" (C) is about traditional, non - scientific beliefs. So the best option is the one involving research studies.

Answer:

D. Mrs. Geist telling her students to take notes on two research studies
