    What is the symbol for milliliter?

    • Mm

    • ML

    • M

    • L

    Correct Answer
    A. ML
    Explanation
    The symbol for milliliter is mL. This is because the lowercase "m" represents the prefix "milli-" which means one thousandth, and the uppercase "L" represents the unit liter. Therefore, mL is the correct symbol for milliliter, indicating a volume measurement that is one thousandth of a liter.

    After you create a question for the experiment you                      ?

    • Create a hypothesis

    • Create a prediction

    • Test your experiment

    • Observe the experiment

    Correct Answer
    A. Create a hypothesis
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Create a hypothesis" because creating a hypothesis is the first step in the scientific method. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation or prediction based on observations and prior knowledge. It helps guide the experiment by providing a clear statement of what is being tested and what the expected outcome is. By creating a hypothesis, the researcher can develop a focused and structured experiment to test the validity of the hypothesis.

    What is the first step to the Scientific Method?

    • Observation/ Research

    • Problem/ Question

    • Create a Hypothesis

    • Experiment

    Correct Answer
    A. Problem/ Question
    Explanation
    The first step to the Scientific Method is to identify a problem or question. This involves recognizing a specific issue or area of interest that requires investigation. By formulating a clear problem or question, scientists can then proceed to gather relevant information and conduct research in order to gain a better understanding of the topic. This initial step sets the foundation for the rest of the scientific inquiry process.
