Question 31 of 60

When scientists do experiments, they need to follow what is called the scientific method. The scientific method is a structure for experimentation that ensures valid data. In using the scientific method, experimenters must first state the purpose. What is the problem or the question that they are exploring? In order to make sure the experiment is worth the time, they should then do research to see if anyone has already collected valid data on the subject. Experimenters can then use that data, and their prior knowledge, to propose a hypothesis, or a prediction of what is going to happen. Once the parameters and expectations are clearly stated, experimenters simply have to carry out the experiment, collect the data, and draw conclusions. If experimenters don’t follow this method, they risk corrupting their data and drawing inaccurate conclusions.

Which of the following statements best describes the author’s point of view?

Even if we don’t know it, we all use the scientific method in our everyday lives.
Too many experimenters blindly use the scientific method without exploring other options.
If an experiment doesn’t verify the hypothesis of the experimenter, it is a failure.
Using the scientific method is the best way to make sure your experimental data is accurate and valid.

Question 36 of 60

A spacesuit consists of several pieces. The Hard Upper Torso covers the astronaut’s chest. The arm assembly covers the arms and connects to the gloves. The helmet and Extravehicular Visor Assembly are designed to protect the astronaut’s head while still allowing him or her to see as much as possible.

The Lower Torso Assembly covers the astronaut’s legs and feet. The flexible parts of the suit are made from several layers of material. The layers perform different functions, from keeping oxygen within the spacesuit to protecting from space dust.

Underneath the spacesuit, astronauts wear a Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment. Tubes are woven into this tight-fitting piece of clothing that covers the entire body except for the head, hands and feet. Water flows through these tubes to keep the astronaut cool during spacewalks.

On the back of the spacesuit is a backpack called the Primary Life Support Subsystem. This backpack contains the oxygen that astronauts breathe during spacewalks. It also removes carbon dioxide that astronauts exhale. The backpack also provides electricity for the suit. A fan moves the oxygen through the spacesuit and life support systems, and a water tank holds the cooling water that flows through the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment.
