BCOT review game Questions and Answers Solved Correctly Rated 100%
scientific law - Answers Predicts what the outcome is based off patterns
Example of a scientific law - Answers law of gravity
Casts and molds lab - Answers Fossils can break or not be fully in tact when you get them so you have to
get clues from the fossil to guess what the fossil is.
Theory of Evolution - Answers states that organisms change and develop over time to adapt an increase
rate of survival

time.
What is a vestigial organ - Answers organ that serves no useful function in an organism
