'''Evidence''' is the observations and measurements a [[scientist]] gets from anything which proves an [[investigation]]idea is true.

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