Which statement should Lily use to support her scientific explanation?
In my observation, I noticed that the bone was hollow. I remember learning in college that birds have hollow bones, and considering the age of the bone I believe that the fossil belong to a flying dinosaur.
Based on my knowledge and experience at the Natural History museum and the age of this bone, I would argue that it belonged to a flying dinosaur.
After reviewing our results, comparing it to the research that has been conducted by other scientists, the evidence supports the possibility that the bone belonged to a flying dinosaur.
I have shared my thoughts with other scientists, and they seem to agree with my explanation.

Which of the following statements best explains why genetic variation is important to the survival of a population?

Below is a list of evidences scientists have gathered on the theory of plate tectonics over time. Continental boundaries showed evidence that they fit together and once formed a single landmass that separated and drifted apart
Rocks of different ages show changes in magnetic field direction
Oceanic crust disappears into the mantle (sea floor spreading)
Why is the collection of evidence necessary for plate tectonic theory?
A theory must be supported with evidence from each scientist studying the natural event.
Scientists do not understand the theory of plate tectonics so it needs to be modified.
A theory needs a large body of evidence to support our understanding of natural events.
Scientists should always add more evidence to existing theories, so they cannot be disproved.

Paleontologists found a fossil with feathers, now known as, Archaeopteryx, which lived approximately 150 million years ago. When comparing Archaeopteryx to other small dinosaurs and modern-day birds, the paleontologists learned that Archaeopteryx had more in common with dinosaurs. The Archaeopteryx were small and had broad wings which likely gave them the ability to fly or glide. How can the Archaeopteryx fossils be used to support the theory of evolution?
They give evidence to support the idea that organisms inherit the best traits from their parents.
They show how organisms today share characteristics with fossilized species.
They can demonstrate that animals from long ago are still alive today.
They indicate that evolution is a theory because scientists do not completely understand the fossil record.

Scientists create both scientific theories and scientific laws as they make observations and conduct experiments about the natural world. Which of the following statements most accurately compares the difference between scientific theories and scientific laws
science laws are based on evidence while science theories are not
science theories involve only biology, while laws involve all types of science
science theories involve mathematical equations, while science laws are based on observations
