Question 10: How do theories relate to the scientific method?
The best response is: Theories are used to predict the outcomes of experiments before observations are made.
Theories are developed based on extensive observations and experimental results, and they help guide predictions for future experiments.
Question 11: Which of the following is NOT a best practice when using a Bunsen burner in science class?
The best response is: Have your lab papers right next to the burner.
This is not a best practice as it poses a fire hazard and can interfere with safety during experiments. All other options involve safety precautions, such as tying back hair, avoiding roughhousing, and wearing safety goggles.
