People have 206 bones. 
The tiniest bone is inside the ear. It is 3 millimeters long. It is called the stapes, or stirrup.

A large asteroid or comet collided with Earth about 65 million years ago. Scientists think that such a large collision would throw so much dust into the air that sunlight would not be able to shine and plants and animals would die.
The dramatic changes in climate that resulted from this huge collision were too much for the dinosaurs. They were not able to survive.

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?

• Scientific laws are based on evidence, while scientific theories are not.

• Scientific theories involve only biology, while laws involve all types of science.

• Scientific theories involve mathematical equations, while scientific laws are based on observations.

• Scientific theories are ideas that explain natural events, while scientific laws more reliably predict natural events.

Matter is not created or destroyed during chemical reactions.
