He would need all the equipment he had when he did the step the first time
Scientists repeat others' experiments to double check their findings as well as to find new information that might have been missed initially.
Because technology might change in the future.
So he/she could look at the data again if something goes wrong.
A scientific process might not be repeatable. There are always scientists around looking to improve and ridicule the results of other scientists. One of the virtues of science is how well it is invigilated, and one of its greatest embarrassments is how combative and picky and depreciative and just plain nasty scientists are amongst themselves.
Scientists also gather at conferences to present new findings,Researchers who disagree about the data might gather discuss views.
They want to make sure that their data is repeatable.

Scientists repeat their experiments because to make sure that their results are correct.

Scientists first create an hypothesis. They develop methods to prove their hypothesis. In order for other scientists to replicate the findings and prove or disprove another scientist's outcome, the original scientist MUST describe the methods used and the findings.

Because there is no such thing as a 'scientific fact'. Even gravity is not a 'scientific fact'. Scientists do not work with 'facts' but will levels of confidence, of probability. When there is a high level of confidence among the entire scientific community on a particular issue, that is called a 'consensus'. When a scientists has a different opinion (ie, after conducting research and writing a scientific paper), such a differing opinion is generally called a 'hypothesis'. For example: the general scientific consensus is that the earth is round. However, there are still some hypothesis regarding the earth being flat. As long as scientists claiming the earth being flat are not able to convince their fellow scientists through validated research methods which can be repeated by others and peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals, the scientific consensus will not alter. Same is applicable to carbon. The general consensus is that it is a contributor to Global Warming while a minority of scientists have differing hypothesis. Some day their hypothesis might become the general consensus but for that to happen they first have to convince their fellow scientists of the validity of their scientific claims and their research.

In biology, methods of inquiry typically involve experimentation, observation, data collection, and analysis to study living organisms. In psychology, methods of inquiry often include experiments, surveys, case studies, and observational research to understand human behavior and mental processes. Both sciences rely on rigorous scientific methods to gather and interpret data for investigating different aspects of the natural world.
