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, 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Theories more than ten years old are usually out of date.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 is wrong.
New evidence that supports a change prompts scientists to modify earlier theories.
So much information is available today that it is harder to focus research and disprove theories.
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
science theories are ideas that explain natural events, while science laws predict what will happen in a natural event.
The theory of Plate Tectonics is the idea that the Earth's crust has many plates that move because of changes in temperature deep below the Earth's surface. It has changed over time. What would cause the theory to change?
The addition of new empirical evidence.
It was a bad theory to begin with.
If the news ran a story about why it should be changed.
If a famous scientist said it should be changed.
Particles of a liquid
are tightly packed together and stay in a fixed position.
are free to move around one another but still touch.
Solid to Gas
Deposition
Sublimation
Evaporation
Sally placed a thermometer in a cup of water. She recorded the temperature every five minutes.
What is the best claim based on this data?
A. The water gained heat.
B. The water lost heat.
C. The water lost mass.
D. The water gained cold.
Bill observed the object.
Which of following best explains why he thought it was a solid?
A. It is a solid because it does not change temperature.
B. It is a solid because it does not change mass.
C. It is a solid because it does not change volume.
D. It is a solid because it does not change shape.
Jim needs to measure the volume of a liquid in an investigation.
Which instrument would be best for measuring the volume?
Which of the models below best shows the energy change when ice melts?
Mary put the same amount of matter into the three containers.
Based on her scientific investigation, how can the matter be classified?
A. It is a liquid because it has the same volume but changes shape.
B. It is a gas because it has the same volume but changes shape.
C. It is a solid because it has the same volume but changes mass.
D. It is a liquid because it has the same volume but changes mass.
Sarah observed a type of matter. She observed that the matter would fill any container she put it in.
How could she best explain why this matter was a gas?
A. It was a gas because it had a definite shape.
B. It was a gas because it had a definite volume.
C. It was a gas because it did not have a definite volume.
D. It was a gas because it did not have a definite mass.
This explains the behavior of solids, liquids and gases and is based on the concept that particles of matter are always in motion.
