Answer to Question 1

Scientists throughout the world communicate and write about their scientific
findings in many different languages. A single scale of measurement makes it easier
for scientists from different countries to interpret the results of studies done by
other scientists. A single measurement scale results in scientific methods and
procedures that are standardized from one country to the next. A standardized
measurement scale makes it easier for scientists to share their work (equipment,
chemical stocks, cultures, etc.) with scientists from different countries.



Answer to Question 2

Answers will vary by student, day, time, and location of temperature readings.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
