A. 5 x 10^-1
B. 5 x 10^1
C. 5 x 10^2
D. 5 x 10^3
Answer: Moving the decimal one place to the right gives 5, so the exponent is -1.
A. 2.5 x 10^-4
B. 2.5 x 10^4
C. 25 x 10^-5
D. 0.25 x 10^-3
Answer: 0.00025 = 2.5 x 10^-4 because the decimal moves four places to the right.

D. Changed to fit the hypothesis
Answer: Data collected in an experiment is recorded and analyzed to draw conclusions.
A. The results and data of the experiment
B. Luck
C. Guessing
D. Popular opinion
Answer: Scientists analyze the experimental results before concluding whether the hypothesis is accepted or rejected.
A. Principle

C. Hypothesis
D. Prediction
Answer: Laws are also called principles, for example Mendel's laws are known as principles.
A. Random
B. Systematic
C. Careless
D. Superstitious
Answer: The scientific method is a systematic approach to solving problems.
A. Atomic level
B. Molecular level

A. Greater than 10
B. Smaller than 1
C. Negative
D. Zero
Answer: A positive exponent shifts the decimal to the right, giving a number greater than 10.
A. Greater than 10
B. Between 1 and 10
C. Less than 1
D. Exactly 10
Answer: A negative exponent shifts the decimal to the left, giving a number less than 1.

B. 5.6 x 10^7
C. 56 x 10^-8
D. 5.6 x 10^-6
Answer: The decimal moves seven places to the right, giving 5.6 x 10^-7.

C. Call it a theory
D. Publish it as a law
Answer: An unsupported hypothesis is rejected or modified and then tested again.
A. Testable (falsifiable)
B. A lucky guess
C. A law
D. Impossible to check
Answer: A hypothesis must be testable so that experiments can confirm or reject it.
A. Epidemiology
B. Taxonomy
