12 ESSAY 71. ANS: Wilhelm Roentgen was investigating the properties of cathode rays. He wondered if the rays could pass through a glass tube (question). He designed an apparatus to test this (collect data). He found that the rays were visible much longer than he expected. This caused him to formulate a new question and a new series of observations to determine what the new rays were. PTS: 1 DIF: 2 REF: 1 2 STA: P ANS: As more discoveries are made about the nature of matter and energy, different sciences become interconnected. For example, biochemistry studies the chemistry of living things. Geophysics studies the forces that affect the earth. PTS: 1 DIF: 3 REF: ANS: Scientific laws need to be changed as new discoveries are made. For example, caloric theory seemed to explain heat until the effects of friction were discovered. Then a new theory, kinetic theory, was developed to include the new information. PTS: 1 DIF: 3 REF: 1 OBJ: 3 STA: P ANS: Science involves making discoveries about the world, and technology involves finding practical uses for those discoveries. Sometimes science precedes technology, and sometimes it s the other way around. For example, microorganisms were not discovered until usable lenses were invented. PTS: 1 DIF: 3 REF: 1 STA: P ANS: No experiment is a failure because, even if an experiment does not give the expected results, its results will lead to new questions and new observations. [Student should give a reason for the opinion expressed.] PTS: 1 DIF: 3 REF: 2 STA: P ANS: Scientists need to read and find out about other scientists work so they know what questions to ask and what observations to test. To do this, data must be presented and organized clearly and logically. PTS: 1 DIF: 3 REF: 3 STA: P.1.1 6

13 77. ANS: Scientists often need to express data using numbers that are very small or very large. Scientific notation, which eliminates a lot of zeroes and expresses numbers in terms of powers of 10, helps them do this efficiently. PTS: 1 DIF: 3 REF: ANS: Suppose you were measuring a room. You might measure the length at m. This is a very precise measurement. However, if you wrote down the numbers incorrectly and the actual length was , your measurement would not be accurate. PTS: 1 DIF: 3 REF: 3 OBJ: 4 7
