The hypothesis will be tested through a series of experiments. The results of the experiments will either prove or disprove the hypothesis. This category should contain questions and answers regarding the scientific method.

Elements whose atoms give off radiation are called?
Radioactive elements give off radiation. The emission of radiation occurs when an unstable atomic nucleus tries to become stable. Some examples of radioactive elements are radium, curium, nobelium, rubidium, and polonium.
The development of the meteorite-impact hypothesis began with the observation of?
This hypothesis states that about 65 million years ago, a giant meteorite crashed into the the earth. The impact of the collision raised enough dust to block the sun's rays for many years. The earth probably became colder, plant life began to die, and many animal species, including dinosaurs, became extinct. As the dust settled over the earth, it formed a layer of iridium-laden rock.
VARK is about learning styles. You can take a test to see what your preferred learning style is. You can be:- V visual A Aural/auditory R Read/ Write K Kinesthetic (doing) this is so that your teachers can ensure they are meeting your needs when delivering a lesson to you. I have taken the test, and I am multimodal. This means that I don't realy have a prefered style. I can learn using any of these methods. (I think I am a kinesthetic learner)

What is an example of an independent variable?
a kind of example is the amount of sunlight
* * * * *
No it is not!
The amount of sunlight given out by the sun depends on solar activity. It will be hugely greater in around 4.5 billion years when the sun becomes a red giant.
The amount of sunlight incident on some point depends on the location of that point. Somewhere on Mercury will get a lot more sunlight than on Neptune! Also even if you restrict yourself to points on the earth, there are differences between latitudes, the time of year, cloud cover and so on.
Even something that is apparently as independent of everything else, such as time, is not quite that independent. Gravity affects it.
An independent variable is determined not by the variable itself but by the context of the "experiment". It is (or they are) variable(s) that affect the dependent variables but are not affected by them. An independent variable in one experiment may be the dependent variable in another.
For example:
age and height of people: I would say that age is independent and height is dependent.
height and membership of basketball team: I would say height is independent and membership is dependent.
Places where the seafloor is forced under continental plates?
The region where the seafloor is forced beneath the continental plate is called a subduction zone. When the seafloor descends down it produces a deep-ocean trench.
What is a test of hypothesis called?
