  15. Question for 25 Points A physician performed an experiment to investigate the effects of exercise on students. He examined 25 volunteers and found them to be in good health. He then had the students perform exercises such as jogging and bicycling. The doctor recorded the students’ pulse rates before, during, and after each activity. Which was the dependent variable in this experiment? The students’ health The exercise The number of volunteers The students’ pulse rates Show Answer

  16. Answer for 25 Points The students’ pulse rates Back to Board

  17. Question for 30 Points In 1897, Joseph Thomson discovered that atoms contained electrons. He proposed a change in the atomic theory of that time, and the theory was modified because of his discovery. Since Thomson’s discovery, the atomic theory has been further modified. What is the best explanation for why scientific theories are modified? Theories more than ten years old are usually out of date. Scientists want to prove that the work of other scientists are wrong. New evidence that supports a revision prompts scientists to modify earlier theories So much information is available today that is is harder to focus research and disprove theories. Show Answer

  18. Answer for 30 Points New evidence that supports a revision prompts scientists to modify earlier theories Back to Board

  19. Question for 5 Points __________ is the systematic study of the natural world. Show Answer

  20. Answer for 5 Points Science Back to Board

  26. Answer for 20 Points Independent and dependent variables, data, and controlled conditions Back to Board

  27. Question for 25 Points Which of the following is an example of how economics can affect science? Limited funding may lead scientists to research one topic instead of another. Legislators may create new laws about the use of natural resources based on the recommendations of scientists. A health crisis may drive scientists to prioritize research on new medications or vaccines. Community leaders may use scientific data to support a recommendation for costly pollution clean-up. Show Answer

  28. Answer for 25 Points Limited funding may lead scientists to research one topic instead of another. Back to Board
