scientific hypothesis - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔is really
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
just an educated guess at the answer to a question
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
steps of the scientific method - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔observation, hypothesis, controlled experiment, |\ |\ |\ |\
conclusions
Which of the following statements is false? - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWERS ✔✔historical evidence does meet the primary
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
requirement of the scientific method |\ |\ |\ |\
positive feedback - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔if A increases
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
and causes an effect B, which in turn causes an increase
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
in A |\
Consider a situation where the increased solar radiation
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
reaches the Earth's surface and raises the ocean
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
temperature. This results in more evaporation, which |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
produces more clouds. The increased cloud cover reduces
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
the amount of solar radiation that reaches the surface of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
the Earth. This is an example of - - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔negative feedback |\

savanna in Madagascar, Marty (a zebra) is starting to run
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
chemical energy. During the "high-speed" chase chemical
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
energy is converted to what? - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔kinetic energy and heat |\ |\ |\
Why do we experience different seasons (winter, spring,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
summer, fall)? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Earth is tilted and
