You are watching the sun rise while standing on the beach in North Carolina. The world looks flat. However, you know that that cannot be true. Propose a way to use the scientific method to prove that Earth is round instead of flat. Address all four steps of the scientific method:

#1 Control subjects in a double blind test of a new drug are

      A informed of what drug they are getting.
      B informed of what drug they are getting, but their private physicians are not.
      C given larger doses of the drug.
      D stricken with a different disease than the experimental subjects.
      E not given the experimental drug but are otherwise treated the same as the experimental subjects.

Explanation / Answer

4) D

5) A

7) B

mass number = protons + neutrons

8) C

Black coffee is a composition. So, it is not a pure compound.

9) C

C. The elements in each group have similar chemical properties.

10) C = 20

netrons = mass number - atomic number

= 37-17

= 20
