When scientists studying space (or any science topic) get different results, what does that mean?
The results are invalid.
Thy didn't share their data.
There can never be one theory about a science topic.
there are several testable ideas in science.
If 2 stars are at almost equal distances from Earth...
Earth will exert very similar gravitational force on each.
Earth's gravity won't effect either star.
Both stars will pull Earth out of orbit around the sun
If the volume of something (like the universe) is increased, what happens to its density?
stays the same
increases
decreases
Why has the Steady State Theory has been rejected by the scientific community?
its experiments contradict the old theories about the universe
There is no scientific consensus of the results of the theory.
its results remain unchanged over a long period of time
scientists need expensive equipment to verify its results
In what location do electromagnetic waves travel fastest
water
vacuum
prism
air
What is the benefit of putting a telescope into space?
The atmosphere of Earth absorbs certain wavelengths of light and distorts others, so being above it makes for clearer images.
It is much cheaper to put a telescope into orbit than building one on the ground.
There is actually no benefit to a space telescope. The images don't change and it is too expensive.
What star property is best for determining its life cycle?
brightness
density
temperature
mass
Why is the Big Bang Theory the leading scientific explanation for the origin of the universe?
It has the most evidence supporting it based on repeated, and verified experimentation.
Its experiments reject all old theories on the origin of the universe.
Its results vary from time to time due to new discoveries made by scientists.
Its experiments yield different results every time they are repeated.

Igneous
Metamorphic
Sedimentary
Fragments of weathered rocks are known as ____.
sediments
deposits
limestones
sandstones
Jennifer was investigating granite, a type of rock that forms when magma deep below the Earth's crust cools off and hardens. What type of rock is granite?
bedrock
