Question 5

The scientist who asserted that atoms of different elements must be different from each other was:
A) John Dewey.
B) Albert Einstein.
C) John Dalton.
D) Isaac Newton.
​

Accepted Answer

John Dalton was the scientist who proposed the atomic theory in the early 19th century, which included the idea that atoms of different elements must be different from each other. John Dewey was a philosopher and educator, Albert Einstein was a physicist famous for developing the theory of relativity, and Isaac Newton was a physicist known for his laws of motion and universal gravitation, but none of them proposed the idea of different atoms for different elements.

Question 6

A physical structure or a virtual or mental image of a structure that is either a smaller or a larger representation of a system or an object is referred to as a ____________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of A physical structure or a virtual or...

Question 7

Meteorologists often explore weather predictions using:
A) maps.
B) computer simulations.
C) digital designs.
D) nanotechnology.

Accepted Answer

Meteorologists often use computer simulations to explore weather predictions. These simulations take into account various factors such as temperature, pressure, wind speed and direction, humidity, and more. The simulations help meteorologists to understand how weather systems may develop and change over time, allowing them to make more accurate predictions. While maps are also a useful tool for meteorologists, computer simulations allow for more complex and detailed analysis of weather patterns. Digital designs and nanotechnology are not commonly used in weather prediction.

Question 8

A) molecules.
B) DNA.
C) atoms.
D) the Moon.

Accepted Answer

Question 16

Ms. Murray used mystery boxes in order to help her students to develop:
A) goals.
B) math skills.
C) mental models.
D) artistic skills.

Accepted Answer

Ms. Murray used mystery boxes as a teaching tool, which suggests that she was aiming to help her students develop mental models or conceptual frameworks. The other answer choices (goals, math skills, artistic skills) are not directly related to the use of mystery boxes as a teaching tool.

Question 20

Although we often create physical models, a model does not have to be something we touch or see. These are called:
A) designs.
B) mental models.
C) simulations.
D) reprints.

Accepted Answer

Mental models are representations of systems or situations that exist only in our minds, without the need for physical objects or simulations. Option A (designs) refers to plans for creating physical objects, option C (simulations) typically involve the use of software to create a virtual model of a system, and option D (reprints) refers to copies of previously printed material.
