research reports containing scientific data
personal anecdotes from citizens
stories from other governments
guesses about the impact of pollutants

No; committees use rules, not science.
No; the committee used an anecdote.
Yes; all medicine is science.
Yes; the committee used research.
3. Which type of research might result in a law that restricts hunting of a particular species?
research showing the species is endangered in other geographical areas
research showing the species is harmful
research showing an increase in the population of the species
research showing a decrease in the popularity of hunting
4. Which statement best explains why a rare disease would get more research funding than a more common disease?
Corporations refuse to fund research for rare diseases.
Sufferers of the rare disease ran a public awareness campaign.
Organizations are concerned about the results of the research into the rare disease.
Diseases that affect more people tend to get more funding.

batteries
sunscreen
patio umbrellas
garden tools

No problem! I'll explain how to approach each question to help you find the correct answers.
1. When a government is making decisions about controlling pollution, the most appropriate type of information to use would be research reports containing scientific data. These reports provide evidence-based information that can help policymakers understand the causes and effects of pollution, as well as the most effective methods for controlling it. Personal anecdotes, stories from other governments, and guesses about the impact of pollutants may provide some insights, but they are not as reliable or comprehensive as scientific data.
2. In order to determine whether the government committee used science to make the decision about the medication's safety, you need to look at the available evidence. If the committee considered research and scientific studies on the medication's side effects, then the answer would be yes, they used science to make the decision. However, if they relied solely on an anecdote or personal report without considering scientific evidence, then the answer would be no, they did not use science.
3. Research showing that a particular species is endangered in other geographical areas is the type of research that might result in a law restricting hunting of that species. If scientific studies demonstrate that the population of a species is declining, and it is facing endangerment or extinction, policymakers may decide to implement hunting restrictions to protect the species.
4. The statement that best explains why a rare disease would get more research funding than a more common disease is that diseases that affect more people tend to get more funding. Research funding is often influenced by the prevalence and impact of a disease on society. Due to the limited number of people affected by a rare disease, there is often less public awareness and funding available. On the other hand, diseases that affect a large population may receive more attention and funding due to the higher demand for research and potential impact on public health.
5. If a corporation is funding scientific research to develop a fabric treatment that absorbs harmful rays from the sun, the product they most likely manufacture would be sunscreen. Sunscreen is designed to protect the skin from harmful UV rays, and a fabric treatment that absorbs these rays would be useful in the production of sunscreen.
Remember, understanding science concepts can be challenging, but taking a logical and informed approach to these questions can help you find the right answers.
