The objects tested
Sometimes it is possible to see light rays. An example is when sunlight breaks through the clouds. Sunlight breaking through the clouds demonstrates how light rays travel in -
curved rays
straight line
zigzag rays
circular waves
Students perform an investigation to compare and contrast the effects of reflection and refraction. What tools are most helpful to students when exploring refraction?
Select TWO correct answers.
Magnet

Bifocals were invented in 1784 by Benjamin Franklin. He invented bifocals to make it easier to see both up close and far away. Bifocal eyeglasses have two different lenses. One lens helps people to see at a distance, and the other is for seeing up close. Why can people who are both nearsighted and farsighted see better though bifocals?
The bifocal lenses reflect light
The bifocal lenses refract light
The bifocal lenses make light less visible
The bifocal lenses absorb light.

Which is a difference between abiotic and biotic factors?
Abiotic factors are plants and biotic factors are animals.
Abiotic factors are all living things and biotic factors are all nonliving things.
Abiotic factors are all nonliving things and biotic factors are all living things.
Which is most accurate in describing an estuary ecosystem?
