===About EvidenceMeaning===: When a person makes a claim, others will ask for '''evidence''' that it is true. If someone told you that broccoli ice cream tasted good, you may want to test it yourself before you believe them.: There are many different kinds of [[evidence but scientists don't trust all of them]].: In science Some [[evidence must be repeatable. If you make an observation or measurement once, you should be able to do it again ]] is strong and again and the result shouldn't changeother evidence is weak.: In science Strong [[evidence must ]] would be reproducibleshowing that something is true with an experiment. So if one person makes an observation or measurement, every other scientist in the world should : Weak [[evidence]] would be able to make the same observation. If they cannot then scientists don't accept believing something because someone told you it as good evidencewas true.
