Scientists repeat others' experiments to double check their findings as well as to find new information that might have been missed initially.

Why does scientists repeat each other's work instead of accepting it and going on to ask and answer a diffferent question?

In science, a conclusion cannot be accepted as accurate unless other people can repeat the experiment and get the same or similar results.


Why is it important for a scientists to repeat an experiment several times?

Theories have to be proved A true scientist will repeat the same experiment several times to check the accuracy of his/her data. They will also use controls of the same type to make certain the experiment is stable. After they have concluded the experiment is true then they will publish it and allow other scientists to preform the same experiments to prove it correct. In every experiment there are many variables and different conditions that can be experienced. From this knowledge a true scientist will make sure that under all circumstances the experiment will hold true.


Why might scientists repeat a study under slightly different circumstances than the original?

The original conditions may not have been conducent to good results, for example, scientists testing heat transfer and didn't use a completely closed environment in their experiment may have the conditions changed by other scientists who are peer-reviewing the experiment. They may also change it to see how the change alters the results
