Questions and Answers

1.

True or False: A bubble will always take a spherical shape.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Because of the surface tension created by soap and water, a bubble pulls in as tightly as it can, trying to hold the air inside the most stable structure with the least amount of surface area, which happens to be a sphere.

- E.
  
  All of the above - all the planets in our solar system rotate on an east-west axis.

C. Uranus

Explanation
Most planets spin on a north-south axis, and scientists are still unsure why Uranus spins on its side, but think that it might have been a large collision in the early days of the universe.

3.

The ____________ has the largest eyes of any animal, roughly the size of a basketball.

Correct Answer
Giant squid

Explanation
The giant squid has the largest eyes of any animal, roughly the size of a basketball. This is because the giant squid lives in the deep ocean where there is very little light, so it needs large eyes to gather as much light as possible. The large eyes also help the giant squid to spot prey and navigate in its dark environment.

How long does it take an individual blood cell to make a complete circuit of the body?
- A.
  
  About 20 seconds
- B.
  
  About one minute
- C.
  
  About ten minutes
- D.
  
  About half an hour
- E.
  
  None of the above - an individual blood cell only travels through a particular part of the body.
Correct Answer
B. About one minute

Explanation
An individual blood cell takes about one minute to make a complete circuit of the body. This means that it travels through all parts of the body within this time frame. The other options, such as 20 seconds, ten minutes, and half an hour, are not accurate because they either underestimate or overestimate the time it takes for a blood cell to circulate throughout the entire body.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Gravitational pull is not affected by weight. Both objects would land at the same time.
