Question

1. give an example of a self-correction in science.

Explanation:

The geocentric model (Earth - centered) was once widely accepted. But with new observations (like planetary motions) and Copernicus' heliocentric model (Sun - centered), science corrected the earlier view. This shows how science revises ideas with evidence.

Answer:

The shift from the geocentric model (Earth as the center of the universe) to the heliocentric model (Sun as the center of the solar system) is an example. Initially, the geocentric model was accepted, but new evidence and Copernicus' work led to the correction, demonstrating scientific self - correction.
