BBT and Historical Models QC Review

In a classroom discussion, Milo mentioned the (a)   model, which is a model proposed by Nicholaus Copernicus, a Polish cleric, around 1500. His model proposed that all the planets revolve around the Sun and the moon revolves around Earth.

During a science fair, Milo and Belle presented a project on the Big Bang Theory. They explained that Edwin Hubble is credited for the initial development of the theory, an idea that helped explain the formation of the universe over 15 billion years ago. Which piece of evidence did Hubble find that led him to begin the development of the Big Bang Theory?

Milo and Rue were discussing how scientists have changed their model of our solar system over time. It has transitioned from

• a Sun-centered to a Moon-centered model

• a Sun-centered to an Earth-centered model

• an Earth-centered to a Sun-centered model

• a Moon-centered to an Earth-centered model

During a science class, Rue asked, 'The universe has existed for approximately...'

• 13.7 light years

• 13.7 billion years

• 13.7 million years

• 13.7 thousand years

During a classroom discussion, Oakland asked why people historically believed in the geocentric theory. What is the most important reason that people thought that the geocentric theory was correct?

• They saw the sun rising and setting each day.

• They saw lunar eclipses.

• They saw the moon rotating around Earth.

• They saw solar eclipses.

• heliocentric model

• Copernican model

• Aristarchan model

For what reason did the heliocentric model of the universe replace the geocentric model of the universe, as explained by Milo in his science project?

• The geocentric model no longer predicted the positions of the constellations.

• The heliocentric model proved that the Earth rotates.

• The heliocentric model provides a simpler explanation of the motions of the planets.

• The geocentric model did not predict the phases of the moon.

During a history class, Sirius and Milo learned that the (a)   model was first summarized by Aristotle and Plato in the 4th Century BC and later updated by Ptolemy, a Greek philosopher, about 100-200 AD. In the model, the Earth is motionless at the center of the universe.

During a science class, Milo observed that interstellar bodies are moving away from Earth, some faster than others. This observation BEST suggests that the universe

• is shrinking.

• is expanding.

• was not formed by a big bang.

• has always been the same size.
