Correct Answer
B. Ask questions

Explanation
The first step in the scientific method is to ask questions. This is because scientific inquiry begins with curiosity and the desire to understand and explore the natural world. By asking questions, scientists can identify problems or phenomena that they want to investigate further. This step sets the foundation for the scientific process, as it leads to the formulation of hypotheses and the design of experiments to test those hypotheses.

- C.
  
  C4 explosives
Correct Answer
A. A knife,a spray foam bottle,protective clothing.

Explanation
The correct answer is A knife, a spray foam bottle, and protective clothing. This is because when conducting an experiment involving puncturing a spray foam bottle, it is important to have a knife to puncture the bottle, a spray foam bottle to conduct the experiment on, and protective clothing to ensure safety while handling the materials. The options of bomb and C4 explosives are not suitable for this experiment and can be dangerous.

A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses. While supported by evidence and able to explain a wide range of phenomena, a scientific theory is not considered an absolute and unchanging truth. It is always open to revision and refinement as new evidence emerges and scientific understanding evolves.
