1) It is a common consensus amongst scientific community that a theory is only considered scientific if it could be falsified. A theory being falsified is not a detriment to science but rather a blessing. When a highly regarded theory that has been trusted for decades (such as the sun revolving around the earth) is disproven by fact and observations, our understanding is furthered. This provides long-term benefits which overcomes the short-term obstacles of having to persuade the ignorant. Knowledge only remains certain before it enters the process of being falsified.

2a) I don’t have a picture but basically we jotted down the order of cards, the value, card type and whether it was rejected or not. We used this to try to deduce a pattern.

b) This is similar to the scientific method as scientists observe, form a hypothesis, gather more data, deduce and then form a conclusion

c) I learnt that there is no certainty as the observed phenomenon will not directly tell you whether your conclusion is right or wrong in the natural sciences
