Superhero Science Trivia

1. The correct answer was Gravity Gravity is a force that pulls objects together. It's what makes the Earth orbit the Sun and the Moon orbit the Earth -- it even pulls you a little closer to your computer, but so weakly that you can't feel it! The gravitational force between us and the Earth is what keeps us on the ground.

2. The correct answer was Arachnid A spider might be hairy, but that doesn't make it a mammal! It's an arachnid, not an insect; the easiest way to tell is that it has eight legs, not six. 3. The correct answer was A steel paper clip Magnetic fields are very powerful, but they work best on certain types of things. Iron responds very strongly to magnetism, and since steel contains a lot of iron, those paper clips will be easy for Magneto to control!

4. The correct answer was Light bounces off of Violet and into their eyes. This is why you see better when there's a lot of light around! Light (from the sun, a light bulb or a fire) hits objects and people and bounces into your eyes, allowing your brain to figure out what you're looking at.

5. The correct answer was Bats and submarines When the sounds made by a sonar system hit something and bounce back, the bat (or submarine) will hear them. They can tell from the echo how far away something is, how big it is and even (sometimes) what shape it is!

6. The correct answer was Light Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity says that nothing can move faster than the speed of light in a vacuum (like space). Luckily, this still leaves room for the Flash to move very, very fast: the speed of light is 186,000 miles (or 300,000 kilometers) per second! Sometimes, the Flash is shown running even faster than light, but even comic book writers

can't get the science right all the time.

7. The correct answer was Evolution Evolution slowly changes a species as individuals with helpful mutations have more children than "normal" individuals without those mutations. It's always happening -- even today -- but usually over such a long time that we don't notice it.

8. The correct answer was y You might think of radioactivity as coming from a nuclear bomb or power plant, but even bombs and power plants use radioactive elements (like uranium) from nature. A radioactive element will decay into a lighter element, giving off energy.

9. The correct answer was Exoskeleton Many animals, including insects, spiders and lobsters, keep the hardest parts of their body on the outside in an exoskeleton. People have endoskeletons (skeletons inside the body) -and, of course, Iron Man has both!

10. The correct answer was The Milky Way A galaxy is a group of between ten million and a trillion stars, traveling together through the universe. Our solar system (the Sun, Earth, and the other planets) is only a very tiny part of our galaxy, the Milky Way -- and there are countless other galaxies in the universe. The Andromeda Galaxy is the closest to us out of all these other galaxies.

1. The world of particle physics is incredible and often very strange! What is
another name given to particle physics due to the speeds used in colliding atoms? High friction physics Low energy physics High energy physics Low friction physics

2. Everything you can see is made up of atoms! However, the atom is so small that
we couldn't possibly see just one of them. We can only see a collection of atoms, like me and you. What is an atom's volume mostly made up of? Protons Empty space Electrons Positrons

3. The atom was at one point believed to be the most basic unit of matter. It was
soon found out however that you can find smaller parts that make up an atom. What is the name given to the parts that make up protons and neutrons? A posh duck may make this noise! Quarks Hoots Meows Woofs

4. In order for particle physicists to know their way through the atom they have to
learn lists of elementary and subatomic particles. Which of the following elementary particles is commonly associated with light? Say cheese... Electron

Photon Neutrino Light isn't a particle, surely!

5. In the nucleus of an elemental atom you have one or more protons. All protons
have a positive charge so it would make sense to think that protons within a nucleus repel each other, but they don't. What is the name of the force that keeps protons together in the nucleus? You may need big muscles to answer this question! Weak force Strong force Neutralising force May the force be with you

6. Particles within the nucleus known as protons and neutrons are made up of even
smaller parts. These smaller parts are held together in the nucleus due to the presence of which of the following? I hope you don't get "stuck" on this question! Photons Gravity Gluons Electrons

7. Atoms are everywhere and they are also the source of radioactivity. The three
most well-known types of radiation are alpha, beta and gamma but from what language do these letters come? Greek Japanese Polish Swahili

8. Electrons are a very important part of the atom and are studied heavily in the
science of chemistry. The movement of electrons is responsible for the wonderful colours of transition metals. On what very famous chemical table can you find the transition metals? Periodic table Octave table Grouped table Pool table!

9. The science of physics often aims to simplify things and to unify them into one
great concept. Which of the following is one example of this where the aim is to combine the two fascinating fields of general relativity and quantum mechanics? I have often wondered how long a piece of this is! String theory Wool theory Yarn theory Space theory

10. As physicists tried harder and harder to find more and more parts of the atom
they ended up with long lists of what they considered "elementary particles". What name was given to these numerous "elementary particles" that is now known as the Standard Model? My oh my! Is that a lion, a tiger and a bear I see? Sea of particles Particle mall Particle zoo Particle city

Understanding Particles Physics for Kids

1. The correct answer was High energy physics A great example of a place that scientists collided particles was at CERN. CERN is a French abbreviation for a nuclear research centre that was founded on the border of France and Switzerland. In their research, they supply large amounts of energy (high energy) to particles so that they move really fast and bump into each other! They do this to find out what smaller parts are in the atom. 2. The correct answer was Empty space Now this really is hard to get to grips with. If an atom is made up of mostly empty space and we are made of atoms, does that mean we are mostly empty space? Indeed it does and isn't that just mind-boggling?! Everything you can see that you think is a solid material, such as a wooden desk, is mostly made of empty space.

3. The correct answer was Quarks OK so maybe quack and quark don't sound that similar but it is the best I can do! Quarks are elementary particles and lots of them together make up protons and neutrons. There are many varieties of quark and they are rather weirdly called 'flavours'. So if you ever go to a quark milkshake bar you could order one of six flavours, which are: up, down, top, bottom, charm and strange. I recommend a mix of charm and top, yum!

4. The correct answer was Photon The photon is a fantastic elementary particle and the road to discovering what a photon actually is led to many arguments and heated debates amongst physicists! Here we go into the wacky world of small-scale physics because a photon isn't just a particle and it isn't just a wave but it is both. Nonsense you cry! Unbelievably this is true and there are experiments to prove that light sometimes behaves as a particle and that it sometimes behaves as a wave. 5. The correct answer was Strong force Nearly everybody when they first learn about protons fails to ask the teacher that if all protons in a nucleus are positively charged then how does the nucleus keep it shape. The answer is because there is a strong force present! This is sometimes also known as the strong interaction or the nuclear force. Neutrons are also found in the nucleus and along with protons are known as nucleons. These nucleons are kept together in the nucleus by the magnificent nuclear force.

6. The correct answer was Gluons Gluons (just think about glue) are what help to keep quarks, the parts that make up protons and neutrons, together. They do this by what is known as the color force: again some physicists were having a bit of fun and decided to call it that despite there being no colors involved at all! 7. The correct answer was Greek The letters of the Greek language can be found all over the science world. Alpha, beta and gamma are the first three letters of the Greek alphabet and they each lend themselves to name a specific type of radiation. Radioactivity is both very useful, for example in medicine, and very dangerous. An example of this is the fact that radiation can cause cancer but it can also help cure it! 8. The correct answer was Periodic table The transition metals are a great way to learn about the nature of electrons. When you first study the transition metals you learn about orbitals and that electrons can be found anywhere within these orbitals. This is in contrast to what you first get taught, that electrons "orbit" around the nucleus. The periodic table contains all the elements that have been discovered and places them in groups (vertical) and periods (horizontal).

9. The correct answer was String theory The aim is to one day have a 'Theory of Everything'. The basic idea behind string theory is that all types of matter and all forms of energy may be made up of "strings". "Strings" are a useful way of thinking about these building blocks but it is suggested that the "strings" are just one-dimensional, meaning the "strings" just have a length. Part of string theory also suggests that there are many more dimensions than the three (length, width, height) we are used to. It must be stressed however that for the most part, string theory is just an idea that still needs to be proven.

10. The correct answer was Particle zoo The physicists actually ended up with parts of the atom on their lists that weren't elementary. The problem of huge quantities of "elementary particles" was solved upon the discovery of the quark. They realized that most of these "elementary particles" were various combinations of the six types of quark.

10. There are people who study rocks for a living! I'm one of them.
What are these people called? Astronomers Engineers Biologists

Geologists 1. One rock is hollow inside, with purple amethyst crystals growing inside it. What is this called?
The correct answer was Geode Some of the biggest geodes are 26 feet wide, with crystals three feet long!

2. I have three rocks in front of me. The basalt is hard, dense, and black. The obsidian is black and glassy. The third rock is pumice, which is light, frothy, and full of little holes. What made these three rocks?
The correct answer was A Volcano Volcanoes spew out melted rock, called lava. The lava can harden into different types of rock, depending on how fast it cools. Obsidian came from lava that cooled very quickly. The basalt came from lava that cooled more slowly. Pumice comes from lava which is full of gas, which makes all the holes!

3. The rock where I live is white and chalky. Sometimes it has fossils of ancient sea shells. What kind of rock is this?
The correct answer was Limestone Nowadays, limestone forms in tropical places, like the Bahamas. Limestone dissolves easily in water (over millions of years, of course). This can make caves.

4. What kind of rock forms when limestone is baked at high pressure and temperature? Sometimes it is used for carving sculptures.
The correct answer was Marble Marble can also be used in buildings. It comes in many different colors. Some of the most famous marble quarries are in Italy.

5. What do you call a rock made up of lots of little sand grains?

6. I have a rock which has big scratches on it, all going the same direction. I collected it from a place where there was a great big crack in the rock. Could an earthquake have caused these scratches?
The correct answer was Yes Earthquakes happen when rock in the ground breaks and slides past itself. Earthquakes can make the ground shake and knock down buildings. They also leave these neat scratches on the break, so we can tell there was an earthquake there! We call the scratches "slikensides" and we call the break a "fault.".

7. I have a rock that has three kinds of crystals: pink, white, and black. The pink crystals are the mineral feldspar. The white crystals are the mineral quartz. The black crystals are the mineral mica. What kind of rock is this?
The correct answer was Granite Granite forms deep underground when large pools of magma, or melted rock, cool.

8. One of the prettiest rocks I have is light grey and shiny. It also has big red garnet crystals in it. What is this rock called?
The correct answer was Schist Schist forms when shale or mudstone is put under high temperatures and enormous stress, like you would find under the Himalayas. The heat and pressure causes new minerals to form, like garnets.

9. Whenever you go rock hunting, it's a good idea to do some things to make sure you don't hurt yourself, and you don't annoy other people. Which of these should you do?
The correct answer was All of these It's no fun if you get hurt looking for rocks! I'm a grown-up and I get to use a rock hammer, but I always make sure I wear my safety goggles!

OK, you walk into a chemistry lab and your teacher says,'sorry about the smell of hydrogen sulphide'. What would the smell be similar to? Strong bleach Rotten eggs Aftershave Pancakes and syrup

Chemistry for Kids

1. One of the most recognisable parts of chemistry is the very helpful periodic table. This table helps to group certain elements together. One way they do this is by putting things into periods, but what is the other classification? The correct answer was Groups When the periodic table was set up, it was organised so that a period of elements moved across the table from left to right and a group moved from top to bottom. If you study chemistry to a moderately advanced level, you will be taught the reasons for this. A Russian man named Mendeleev devised the table. 2. Neutralisation is the posh name that chemists give to the reaction between an acid and a(n) what? The correct answer was Alkali This is one of the first general chemical equations you will learn as a chemistry student! Acid + Alkali (or base) --> Salt + Water. For all you eager young scientists, an acid has a pH of less than 7 (7 is the pH of neutral compounds) whilst an alkali has a pH greater than 7.

3. Which of these animals is also the word given to show the chemical amount of a substance? The correct answer was Mole The mole is one the seven SI units used in science. The other six are: the metre, the kilogram, the second, the ampere, the kelvin and the candela. If you are confused, it would be an interesting research topic for you! Why couldn't they use the name of an animal that sounds nicer than the word mole? 4. There are three main states of matter. Solid and gas are two of these, but what is the third? The correct answer was Liquid Vapour is another word for gas. Solids, liquids and gases are not just important in chemistry, they are important in all aspects of science. Evaporation is when a substance goes from being a liquid to a gas. Condensation is when a substance goes from being a gas to a liquid. There are two further states of matter which you may or may not later learn about during your education. They are plasma and Einstein-Bose condensate. Just some extra knowledge for all you budding young scientists! 5. What is the name given to the chemical process in which a substance goes from being in a solid state straight to being a gas? The correct answer was Sublimation Sublimation is where the liquid phase is skipped and a solid substance can be changed straight into a gas. It can also work in the reverse direction - from a gas straight into a

solid. A common example of sublimation in action is when dry ice "melts" - it goes straight from being in a solid state to being vaporous. 6. Which of the following is not part of an atom? The correct answer was Blazon Protons and neutrons are both found in what is called the nucleus (centre) of an atom whilst whizzing around it are the much smaller electrons. Everything, from you to the planet Jupiter, is made up of these tiny particles called atoms! For those interested, a blazon is actually a coat of arms. 7. Elements are substance which are made up of only one type of atom. Which of the following is NOT an element? The correct answer was Carbonate Elements can be metals or non-metals. Hydrogen is a non-metal and is the simplest of all known elements. Gold and silver are both precious metals. Carbonate (CO3=) is not an element because it has both carbon and oxygen atoms in it, which makes it a compound. 8. Even though chemistry can be great fun, it can also be very dangerous. Which of these should you always wear to protect your eyes in the chemistry lab? The correct answer was Safety goggles Goggles (also known as safety glasses) are essential! When you get to college and university level, lab coats become essential as well. In school you should always be very careful using chemicals and always listen to your chemistry teacher's instructions! Remember, no one is invincible. Chemicals can be dangerous, so wearing goggles could save your eyesight! 9. You are doing an experiment with a substance called hydrochloric acid (HCl) when you accidentally spill some of it on to your hand. What should you do? The correct answer was Tell a teacher and wash your hands immediately. If you spill some acid on your hand, don't just wipe it off with your sleeve because that could damage your clothing and if you do nothing it could cause you harm (acids cause burns!). Now, technically throwing alkali on it will neutralise the substance but alkali can also be dangerous to have on your skin, since they can burn your skin too. You MUST tell your teacher and rinse your hand straight away under running water. Generally, for younger people the concentrations of the chemicals are very weak and won't be too dangerous, but be prepared just to be on the safe side. 10. OK, you walk into a chemistry lab and your teacher says,'sorry about the smell of hydrogen sulphide'. What would the smell be similar to? The correct answer was Rotten eggs The chemical formula for hydrogen sulphide is H2S. This substance is responsible for a lot of the foul smells that come out of the chemistry lab. Though, sometimes you can have the most wonderful of smells. Esters smell like perfume and are also used in yummy pear drops!

1. What is the name of the invisible line that runs right around the Earth's middle, dividing it into two halves?
The correct answer was The Equator The Equator divides the Earth exactly in half! The top half is called the Northern Hemisphere and the bottom half is called the Southern Hemisphere.

2. What is the name of the organ in our bodies that pumps blood?
The correct answer was Heart The heart pumps blood around our bodies for us. If you put your hand to your chest, you can feel your heart going "thud-thud" - the "thud-thud" sound is your heart pumping blood.

3. What is the name of the gas in the air that keeps us alive?
The correct answer was Oxygen The oxygen in air is absorbed in our lungs and keeps us alive. The air we breathe contains lots of different gases such as nitrogen. Less than a quarter of the air around us is oxygen, but that's all we need!

4. What happens if you melt something?

The correct answer was It changes from a solid to a liquid When you melt something, it changes from a solid into a liquid. You can look at this by watching an ice cube melt. If you put an ice cube on the sink, it will slowly change from a solid little block of ice into a puddle of water as it melts.

5. Which of these living things does NOT have a backbone?

The correct answer was Earthworm An earthworm is one of a number of animals that don't have backbones (spines). Animals without backbones are called invertebrates.

6. If the moon is full, what shape is it in the sky?

The correct answer was Circle When the moon is full, it looks like a circle in the sky. The moon shines and looks bright at night because light from the sun is bouncing off its surface.

7. If I dissolve some sugar in water, what have I made?

The correct answer was A solution When you dissolve something in something else, it is called making a solution. A cup of tea is a solution too, but I need some tea-leaves to make that as well as sugar!

8. Planet Earth is the ______ planet from the Sun.

The correct answer was third The Earth is almost 150 million kilometres from the sun! This is just the right distance - any closer, and it would be too hot for us; any further away, and it would be too cold

9. Which of these is the hottest?

The correct answer was The Sun The surface of the sun is very, very hot - about 6000 degrees Centigrade (almost 11000 F)! A campfire and heaters are much cooler in comparison. A campfire's temperature is about 200 degrees Centigrade (400 F).

The correct answer was 7 There are seven colours in a rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. It's easy to remember the right order by taking the first letter of each colour and using them to spell ROY G. BIV.

5. If an animal is a carnivore, what does it do?

The correct answer was it eats meat Carnivores are animals that eat meat. A tiger is an example of a carnivore.

6. What does a tadpole turn into?

The correct answer was frog A tadpole is one of the stages in the life cycle of a frog. Frogs belong to a class of animals called amphibians. This means that they can live in the water or on land.

7. What is the name of the force that holds everything to the earth?
The correct answer was gravity Gravity is what holds us to the earth so we don't all float off into space! The moon has a lower gravity than earth. If you were to stand on the moon, you'd be able to jump into the air much more easily since there would be less force holding you to the ground.

8. If an animal is a herbivore, what does it do?

The correct answer was it eats plants Herbivores are animals that only eat plants. A cow is an example of a herbivore.

9. Which of the following travels the fastest?

The correct answer was light Light travels at almost 300 million metres (about 950 million feet) every second! Sound is the next fastest, travelling almost 350 metres (around 1130 feet) every second. Whew! There are some planes that travel faster than the speed of sound, but nothing goes faster than light!

10. What do you call a scientist who studies the stars?

The correct answer was astronomer A chemist is a scientist who studies molecules and the way they behave. A biologist is a scientist who studies living things. A geologist is a scientist who studies the earth.

what age do we start to degenerate into old age? 12 28 62 41

1. Out of all the planets in our Solar System, which one has the most satellites (also known as moons)?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Jupiter According to the latest figures (January 2006), Jupiter has an amazing 63 moons! Saturn is second with 47, and Uranus is third with 27. Mars has two moons - Phobos and Demos. 63% of players have answered correctly.

2. Which element combines with sulphur and oxygen to make sulphuric acid?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Hydrogen The formula for sulphuric acid is H2S04, which means there are 2 hydrogen, 1 sulphur, and 4 oxygen atoms in the sulphuric acid molecule. Sulphuric acid is the acid used in car batteries. 62% of players have answered correctly.

3. In electronics, what does the acronym LED mean?

The correct answer was Light Emitting Diode An LED is a special type of diode that emits light when a voltage is applied across its little connections. They are used extensively as "pilot lights", and indicator lights, in a whole range of electronic equipment and tools. 75% of players have answered correctly.

4. Conjoined twins used to be named after a famous set of twins; what name used to be given to twins that were joined at birth?

The correct answer was Siamese twins The name "Siamese twins" is attributed to Chang and Eng Bunker, who lived from 1811 to 1874. Conjoined twins, to give them their more technical name, are born with their bodies physically linked, and have intrigued and amazed people for centuries. There are only a few who have survived unseparated into adulthood. Some have described their experience, but it must be impossible to imagine what it is like to have such an intimately shared existence, joined to another human being 24 hours a day. 85% of players have answered correctly.

5. If a metal or alloy is termed non-ferrous, what essential property does it have?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Does not contain iron The ONLY property that determines if a metal or alloy is non-ferrous is the fact that it does NOT contain iron. Both ferrous and non-ferrous metals can be magnetic or non-magnetic, some resist corrosion and others don't. 68% of players have answered correctly.

6. Theoretically, if an engineer built an infinitely long bridge, perfectly flat, perfectly level, and perfectly straight - what would it appear to do?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was It would slope up from the ground When a very long bridge is constructed, it is NOT built perfectly flat. It actually has to have a very slight curve downwards - to account for the curvature of the earth! Theoretically, if an infinitely long bridge was built perfectly level and straight, it would rise up eventually into outer space! 35% of players have answered correctly.

7. Which of these metals melts at the lowest temperature?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Lead Lead melts at 327C, aluminium melts at 660.25C. The melting point of copper is a little higher than gold. Lead has numerous uses in industry; it used to be used for domestic water pipes until it was realised that it is poisonous! 36% of players have answered correctly.

8. What is added to glass to give it an intense deep blue colour?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Cobalt oxide Blue glass is manufactured by the addition of cobalt oxide. Many different colours of glass can be made by adding different metals and/or oxides. Red glasses are made with gold, copper, or selenium oxides, and one part of nickel oxide in 50,000 produces a tint that may range from yellow to purple, depending on the base glass. 75% of players have answered correctly.

9. In the physical sense, what is the definition of a perfect vacuum?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was A space containing absolutely nothing

A perfect vacuum exists ONLY when a space contains absolutely nothing at all. If a space contains so much as ONE atom, it is NOT a perfect vacuum. Even in outer space where there is no air, a total vacuum is not as common as you may think, because even outer space contains dust. 76% of players have answered correctly.

10. At around what age do our bones actually stop "growing", and therefore at what age do we start to degenerate into old age?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was 28 Our skeletal bones are not totally "set" or ossified until we reach the age of around 28, so until that time we are actually still growing. Scientists are able to tell the age of a skeleton from the amount of ossification in the bones. Most of the cells in our body are replaced when old ones die, so in one sense we never stop growing. Metabolic changes start to occur though at around age 28, and our bodies actually start to "slow down", so unfortunately we start to "grow old".

1. OK, first of all, we're off to the chemistry lab! We learn all about the properties
of elements and compounds. Our teacher asks us what two elements common table

salt is made out of. What ARE they? Sodium and Hydrogen Sodium and Chlorine Hydrogen and Chlorine Hydrogen and Methane

2. Next, we're going to observe the microscopic world! We find all sorts of
interesting infomation. After being lectured about all the the different functions of the organelles of the cell, our teacher asks us what organelle is known as the 'brain' of the cell. What IS it? Chloroplast Cell membrane Mitochondria Nucleus

3. Next, we go on to our botany class. We learn all about plants and the amazing
photsynthetic processes they undergo! After the lectures, our teacher asks us what gas plants contribute to the earth's atmosphere. What IS it? Oxygen Carbon dioxide Nitrogen Hydrogen

4. Right before lunch, we're off to physics. Mr. Jimmy, our physics teacher asks us
what the main particles of an atom are. What ARE they? Photon, electron, and neutron Neutron, electron, and proton Photon and electron Proton and electron

5. After lunch, we must go back to chemistry class. Our teacher asks us what
products are, as a general rule, the result of an acid and a base reacting together. What ARE they? Hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide Methane gas and nitrogen Water and a salt Water and ethanol

6. So, we're about to go to our biology class, but wait, we forgot our physics books!
So, going back to our physics classroom, Mr. Jimmy asks us what stored energy is commonly called. What IS it? Potential energy Kinetic energy Chemical energy Radiant energy

7. So, we arrive at Mrs. Diane's biology class and learn loads of stuff! She asks us
what measurement unit microbiologists use when they want to measure something really small (like a bacterial cell!). What IS it? Millimeter Meter Centimeter Micrometre

8. Next class is environmental science! We learn all about greenhouse gases and the
increasing danger they can do to the enviornment. The teacher asks us what is NOT a greenhouse gas. What IS it? Carbon dioxide

Nitrogen Methane Ozone

metaphytan plants contain flowers. What class IS it? Gymnospermae Angiospermae Tracheophyta They all have flowers!

10. It's the last class of the day! We learn all about the human body. We learn about
the organs and their functions. Mrs. Waters asks us what system our brain is in. What IS it? Nervous system Digestive system Circulatory system Respiratory system

1. OK, first of all, we're off to the chemistry lab! We learn all about the properties of elements and compounds. Our teacher asks us what two elements common table salt is made out of. What ARE they?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Sodium and Chlorine Table salt (sodium chloride) is made out of the elements sodium and chlorine. It is made up of one atom of each. Its chemical formula is NaCl. A little salt is needed for all human beings, but too much salt can lead to problems, like high-blood pressure.

81% of players have answered correctly.

2. Next, we're going to observe the microscopic world! We find all sorts of interesting infomation. After being lectured about all the the different functions of the organelles of the cell, our teacher asks us what organelle is known as the 'brain' of the cell. What IS it?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Nucleus The nucleus controls all the reactions within the cell. The chloroplast is the organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis (where radiant energy from the sun is converted to chemical energy) takes place. It contains pigments known as chlorophyll. Chloroplasts are only found in plant cells. The mitochondria is where respiration occurs. All cells (not just plant cells) contain mitochondria. All cells also have a cell-membrane. This selectively allows some materials to pass, and not others, such as starches. 80% of players have answered correctly.

3. Next, we go on to our botany class. We learn all about plants and the amazing photsynthetic processes they undergo! After the lectures, our teacher asks us what gas plants contribute to the earth's atmosphere. What IS it?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Oxygen Plants keep the oxygen content stable by photosynthesis. They release oxygen gas into the atmosphere as a by-product of photosynthesis. Denitrifying bacteria contribute to the vast amount of atmospheric nitrogen in the atmosphere (78% of the earth's atmostphere is nitrogen). Carbon dioxide is needed for photosynthesis, but isn't released into the atmosphere by photosynthetic processes. 76% of players have answered correctly.

4. Right before lunch, we're off to physics. Mr. Jimmy, our physics teacher asks us what the main particles of an atom are. What ARE they?
Your Answer: [No Answer]

The correct answer was Neutron, electron, and proton The proton has a postive charge, the neutron has no charge, and the electron has a negative charge. The electrons are on the outer orbit of a atom. A covalent bond exists when electrons are shared between atoms. This is the most common form of chemical bonding. All matter is made out of atoms. Chemical elements contain only one type of atom. All the chemicals in a cell are made out of atoms, so atoms must be VERY, VERY tiny indeed! 83% of players have answered correctly.

5. After lunch, we must go back to chemistry class. Our teacher asks us what products are, as a general rule, the result of an acid and a base reacting together. What ARE they?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Water and a salt Whenever an acid and base combine, they almost always produce water and a salt. However, water and carbon dioxide are occasionally produced. You have probably heard of the volcano experiment! Well, when you mix baking soda (a base) and vinegar (an acid) together, the end products are water and carbon dioxide. However, it is mostly water and a salt (such as sodium chloride) that are produced in this type of reaction. 52% of players have answered correctly.

6. So, we're about to go to our biology class, but wait, we forgot our physics books! So, going back to our physics classroom, Mr. Jimmy asks us what stored energy is commonly called. What IS it?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Potential energy Potential energy is stored energy. Kinetic energy is moving energy. Radiant energy is the energy the sun gives off! Chemical energy is the energy created by a chemical reaction. 70% of players have answered correctly.

7. So, we arrive at Mrs. Diane's biology class and learn loads of stuff! She asks us what measurement unit microbiologists use when they want to measure

something really small (like a bacterial cell!). What IS it?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Micrometre To get a micrometre, you multiply the amount of millimeters by a 1000. So, if the answer in millimeters was 3, it would be 3000 in micrometres! A micrometer is one millionth of a meter - very, very small! 86% of players have answered correctly.

8. Next class is environmental science! We learn all about greenhouse gases and the increasing danger they can do to the enviornment. The teacher asks us what is NOT a greenhouse gas. What IS it?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Nitrogen Nitrogen is NOT a greenhouse gas, however nitrous oxide is. Greenhouse gases contribute to global warming. Deforestation is a big contributer to the greenhouse effect. 35% of players have answered correctly.

9. OK! Next we must go back to our botany class! Our teacher asks us which class of metaphytan plants contain flowers. What class IS it?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Angiospermae All plants in the class Angiospermae contain flowers! These flowers attract insects and other small organisms to carry their seeds. In this mutualistic relationship, the plants get their seeds distrubuted within the area leading to diversity. In return, the animals get fed with the fruit that the plants contain. Gymnosperms do not contain flowers. Both gymnosperms and angiosperms belong to the phylum Tracheophyta. Because it is not a class, but instead a phylum, that is not the right answer! 21% of players have answered correctly.

10. It's the last class of the day! We learn all about the human body. We learn

about the organs and their functions. Mrs. Waters asks us what system our brain is in. What IS it?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Nervous system The nervous system contains the brain. The circulatory system contains the heart. The digestive system contains the small and large intenstines. The respiratory system contains the lungs and all the organs that help us breathe! We need all these organ systems to survive! I really hope you enjoyed my quiz! I hope you learned LOADS of new infomation!

3. Where did life on Earth first begin?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was In the ocean Life on Earth began about 3.5 billion years ago. It was born into a world that looked very different to today. The atmosphere was filled with poisonous gases, the sky was pink, and the sea was rusty red. 86% of players have answered correctly.

4. Earth has one moon, named Luna. Luna changes phases because it is travelling around the Earth. Which of the following is one of the shapes the moon appears to us as?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Crescent First it looks like a banana (thin crescent), then a sideways laugh (wider crescent, for some areas), then a circle, then it does this all all over again but backwards! 98% of players have answered correctly.

5. Is the Earth flat?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was No The Earth is not flat. Early explorers thought it was though! They thought if they sailed too far, they would fall off the edge. It was up until Galileo Galilei found this out. He also found out that the Earth wasn't at the center of the universe. 96% of players have answered correctly.

6. What is one of the characteristics of life?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Responding to your Environment Some other characteristics of life are: waste production (metabolism), growth, and reproduction. Wondering why I chose response to environment? Living things flinch, get scared, or get hurt. When you touch a cactus and get pricked, you are responding by pulling your hand away. Non-living things won't do this. Have you ever jumped when you got scared? That is your body responding to the "scary" thing. 88% of players have answered correctly.

7. What were the very first fish?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Jawless fish Instead of jaws to open and close their mouths the very first fish sucked food into their mouths. They are called jawless fish. They looked like they had just sucked on a lemon! 61% of players have answered correctly.

8. What is the name of the ocean between North America and Europe?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Atlantic Ocean The Atlantic Ocean can be bitterly cold...but think about the Arctic Ocean! Did you know the luxury ship Titanic sank in the Atlantic Ocean in 1912? 71% of players have answered correctly.

9. Dinosaurs were the first life form to appear on land.

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was False

About 440 million years ago, the first life appeared in the ocean. It was simple plant life, similar to today's mosses. Then, about 400 million years ago, the first land animals - worms, spiders, scorpions and insects - evolved as they moved onto land, then came the dinosaurs. 80% of players have answered correctly.

10. Black holes can be formed when a star collapses under its own gravity.
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was True A black hole is a star that has been incredibly compressed to the point where it collapses under its own gravity. The atoms get squeezed together, so it's a bit like taking snow and squishing it until it turns into hard ice. One teaspoon of a black hole would weigh about 10 tonnes, and gravity is so strong that light cannot escape. That's why they're black.

our atnosphere. Oxygen (O), vital to life, makes up 21%. Sulphur (S) and carbon (C) are solids. It is always a capital letter. 98% of players have answered correctly.

2. Which of these has the symbol Br?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Bromine Some elements use the first two letters of the name, like bromine. Calcium (Ca) does this. Boron (B) uses the first letter and basalt is not an element, but a mineral (rock). The first letter is a capital and the second lower case. 91% of players have answered correctly.

3. Which of the following is the symbol for phosphorous?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was P Another easy one to learn - just the first letter. Phosphorous is a dangerous element, catching fire if exposed to air. It is used to make some matches. 47% of players have answered correctly.

4. This one uses the first letter plus another for the name. What is the symbol for magnesium?

6. What is the symbol for sodium?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Na Sodium takes its name from the Latin natrium. It explodes if placed in water, so is usually stored in kerosene. Combine sodium (Na) with chlorine (Cl) and you get the compound sodium chloride (NaCl) or table salt. S is sulphur, which shows why it can't also be sodium. 90% of players have answered correctly.

7. What is the symbol for silver?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Ag Another Latin one - argentum. Argentina was named for this because silver was mined there. S is sulphur and Si is silicon. 90% of players have answered correctly.

8. Which of these is not an element?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Carbon Monoxide

Carbon monoxide is a compound with formula CO, made up of carbon (C) and oxygen (O), both elements. Platinum is an element with symbol Pt. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas produced in car exhausts. 86% of players have answered correctly.

9. What metallic element has the symbol Au?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Gold Gold has the symbol Au from the Latin aurum, meaning gold. Iron is Fe from Latin ferrum, nickel is simply Ni, and zinc is Zn. 94% of players have answered correctly.

10. My personal favourite element has the symbol Hg. What is it?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Mercury Mercury takes its symbol from the Latin hydrargyrum or quicksilver. Like the fast planet Mercury and the Roman winged messenger of the gods, it is 'quick', and impossible to pick up if you spill it. (Careful, it's also poisonous!) Hydrogen, the lightest element, is H. Helium (2nd lightest) is He and hafnium is Hf.

1. The human brain has two sides, the left and the right. How do these two sides
control our bodies? Each side of the brain controls the opposite side of the body. Each side of the brain control some of each side of the body. Each side of the brain controls the same side of the body. The brain does not have two sides.

2. As we grow the number of bones in our bodies gets smaller.

True

False

3. What does skin get its natural colour from?

A pig called Melanie. Dirt in the air. A pigment called melanin. Things we eat.

4. How do our muscles work to move our bones?

They move without changing shape. Muscles don't move bones. None of these. They make themselves shorter.

5. Our bodies need oxygen in the air to live and grow, but do you know how our
bodies breathe? Our noses pull the air in without any help. Our lungs do it on their own. By using our stomach. By using chest and abdomen muscles.

6. Are hiccups caused by a muscle in our throat?

Yes No

7. Our hearts pump blood round our bodies. If you listen to your heart what kind of
sound will you usually hear? Squeaks. Lub-dub, lub-dub. Sloshes. It doesn't make a sound.

8. Why are our ears a funny shape, stuck on the sides of our heads, and not just
holes? To give us somewhere to rest our glasses (spectacles). To keep the rain out of the holes. So your head looks even. To catch sounds from the air.

9. Why do we have noses?

For picking. For smelling only. For smelling and tasting. Because we would look silly without one.

10. Tummies (stomachs) sometime rumble - why?

There is food in the tummy. There is gas in the tummy. There are rocks in the tummy. There is water in the tummy.

1. The human brain has two sides, the left and the right. How do these two sides control

our bodies?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Each side of the brain controls the opposite side of the body. The brain does a lot more than just control each side of our bodies, it is the part of us that thinks and remembers. Brains can be different sizes for different people but having a big brain does not make you cleverer, any more than having bigger feet would make you a faster runner! 83% of players have answered correctly.

2. As we grow the number of bones in our bodies gets smaller.

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was t We are born with about 350 bones but by the time we stop growing we will only have just over 200 bones. This is because as we grow some of the smaller bones join together to make bigger ones. 50% of players have answered correctly.

3. What does skin get its natural colour from?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was A pigment called melanin. People with dark skin have more melanin than people with light skin. Our skin gets darker when we have been in the sun as the rays from the sun cause an increased release of melanin. However, whether you have light or dark skin, too much sun can burn you so you should always wear a hat, sun-protective clothes and sun-protection cream. 94% of players have answered correctly.

4. How do our muscles work to move our bones?

Your Answer: [No Answer]

The correct answer was They make themselves shorter. Muscles are fixed to our bones by long white strings called tendons and when the muscle gets shorter it pulls the bone. Muscles can only get shorter so they need to work in pairs to move bones in two directions. To move the bone back, another muscle gets shorter and this stretches out the first muscle again. 62% of players have answered correctly.

5. Our bodies need oxygen in the air to live and grow, but do you know how our bodies breathe?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was By using chest and abdomen muscles. We breathe by using muscles in our chest and abdomen (the abdomen is our stomach area). When our chest gets bigger air rushes in to fill the gap. Our body takes the oxygen from the air and gives back carbon dioxide and when the chest relaxes and gets smaller the air rushes back out. 71% of players have answered correctly.

6. Are hiccups caused by a muscle in our throat?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was n Hiccups are caused by the diaphragm muscle pulling down very hard and drawing lots of air into our lungs. To stop the air a flap at the top of the windpipe clamps down. The "HIC" sound is the air rushing in and the "CUP" is the sound of the flap clamping down over the windpipe. 61% of players have answered correctly.

7. Our hearts pump blood round our bodies. If you listen to your heart what kind of sound will you usually hear?
Your Answer: [No Answer]

The correct answer was Lub-dub, lub-dub. If you want to listen to a friend's heart beat find somewhere quiet and rest your ear against their chest. Our blood carries useful things, like oxygen and food, all around our bodies. It also has cells in it which help to fight germs. 93% of players have answered correctly.

8. Why are our ears a funny shape, stuck on the sides of our heads, and not just holes?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was To catch sounds from the air. The sounds that are caught go through your ear holes into the hidden part of your ears. Some animals, like rabbits, have very big ears which they can move to catch sounds in the air. It is important for them to hear things very well to stay away from danger. 94% of players have answered correctly.

9. Why do we have noses?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was For smelling and tasting. Whilst we smell with our noses, they also help us to taste things. It does this as tiny bits of food, too small to see, are carried up the nose and messages about them are sent to the brain. This helps us with our taste and is why, if you hold your nose when eating, you can't taste very well. 69% of players have answered correctly.

10. Tummies (stomachs) sometime rumble - why?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was There is gas in the tummy. If you don't eat something for a couple of hours your tummy fills with air-like stuff called gas. When your tummy makes the same movements it makes when there is food in it the gas

gets squeezed and this makes the rumbling sound we hear.

3. In which of these household devices would you NOT normally expect to find an electric motor?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Television Hi-fi systems can have several electric motors to drive the CD player, cassette deck, record turntable or mini-disc player. Personal computers have motors to run the hard disc drive, CD and floppy disc drives, they also have an electric motor to drive the cooling fan. A hairdryer has an electric motor to drive the fan. *Some large screen televisions may have cooling fans powered by an electric motor. 44% of players have answered correctly.

4. Which of these statements is TRUE about most electrical devices?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was They produce heat Electrical consumption produces heat at the same time as it produces light, movement (electric motors) or sound (hi-fi). Heat is also produced in the grid system carrying electricity from the power station to your house because of the electrical resistance (measured in ohms) in the transmission cables. 78% of players have answered correctly.

5. Of these household appliances, which will normally use the greatest electrical current for each hour of operation?
Your Answer: [No Answer]

The correct answer was Electric kettle An electric kettle consumes around two-thousand watts of power (UK). It is very wasteful to boil more water than you need! The amount of power consumed by an electric kettle in just one-minute will power a sixtywatt light bulb for more than half-an-hour. 44% of players have answered correctly.

6. Which of these events is also known as an electrical storm?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Thunder and lightning Lightning happens when clouds become negatively charged in relation to the earth. This potential difference can be one billion volts. A lightning flash lasts about a quarter of a second and can reach temperatures of thirtythousand degrees Celsius, fifty-four-thousand degrees Fahrenheit. Thunder is caused by the rapid expansion and contraction of the air around the lightning - it travels faster than the speed of sound causing a sonic boom. As light travels faster than sound you see the lightning before hearing the thunder. You can calculate the approximate distance of the storm by checking the time difference between the lighting and the thunder - each five seconds equals around one mile. In the midst of a storm you should shelter in a building, if that is not possible a car will give you protection. It is NOT a good idea to shelter under a tree as they are often struck by lightning! 97% of players have answered correctly.

7. Most household electrical appliances are protected with a fuse. What units are used to rate household fuses?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Amps Fuses blow when too much current is drawn through them. This breaks the electrical circuit. It is important to replace a blown fuse with one of the correct rating, as advised by the manufacturer of the appliance. Using the wrong fuse rating could damage the appliance, or worse cause a fire! 59% of players have answered correctly.

8. What units are used to measure amount of power consumed by a light bulb?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Watts The unit of power known as the watt is named after the Scottish engineer and inventor James Watt. *The watt, an International System unit of power, is equal to one joule per second. 86% of players have answered correctly.

9. Which of these statements is TRUE about standard battery flashlight (torch)?

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was It is normally powered by DC electricity Most flashlights (torches) are powered by a number of one-and-a-half volt dry cell batteries that supply DC (Direct Current) electricity. 55% of players have answered correctly.

10. Which of these is a TRUE statement about electricity? You canYour Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was Feel electricity An electric shock is not only unpleasant it can also be very dangerous.

6. Then the nurse took out an object that looked like a little hammer. I was scared at
first, but then I found out that it didn't hurt at all! She gently tapped it on my knee a couple times. I thought it was fun, but what was the nurse doing? giving me a shot testing how strong my bones are testing my reflexes measuring how long my legs are

7. Finally, the nurse went to consult with the doctor to see what shots I would need.
She told me that I would only need one. It was called a tetanus booster. She quickly poked a needle into my skin, and before I knew it, it was all over. It hardly hurt at all. Why do you need to get shots? to make you grow taller to make you get sick with a disease to protect you from getting sick with certain diseases for no reason at all

8. Now I am done, and I get to go home. The nurse gives me a big sticker and tells
me how great I did. But if I wasn't sick, why did I go to the doctor today? to make me sick so I would never have to go to the doctor again

Household scales are usually different from the ones you use at the doctor. 94% of players have answered correctly.

2. Next, the nurse led me to another area of the hallway. There was a big long strip of material with a lot of numbers on it. I was told to stand up against this

strip, and then the nurse made a mark at where my head reached. What was the nurse measuring?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was my height using a tape measure It is always exciting to see how much you have grown from year to year. However, you usually stop growing by the time you graduate high school. If you are ever curious to know your height, you could probably ask your mom or dad to measure you. Most families have some kind of tape measure at their house to use. 98% of players have answered correctly.

3. Then, the nurse led me into a room and told me to sit on the examining table. She took out a little machine and placed it into my ear. The nurse pressed a button and then read the number that was given. What was the nurse doing?

It is even kind of fun! The average temperature for a human is 98.6 degrees fahrenheit but everyone's is a little different. Sometimes when you are sick, you temperature will rise. This is called a fever. A fever is caused by the cells in your body trying to fight off the germ that is making you sick. 91% of players have answered correctly.

4. After this, the nurse wrapped a band around my arm. She squeezed on a pump which tightened the band around my arm. Then the nurse released the pump and let the pressure decrease. The machine gave the nurse two final numbers written as a fraction. What was the nurse measuring?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was my blood pressure The machine used to take you blood pressure is called a sphygmomanometer. It is a very long name, isn't it! The top number in the fraction is called the systolic, and the bottom number is called the diastolic. These numbers measure the force exerted by the blood on the vessel walls. I know all of this information sounds confusing but you don't need to worry

about it for now. The next time you go to the doctor you could ask him or her to help explain it to you if you wish. 97% of players have answered correctly.

5. Next, the nurse took out strange-looking thing that was around her neck. She placed two of the ends into her ears and placed a circular object on my chest. She told me to breathe deeply and slowly. What was the nurse doing?
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was listening to my heartbeat The instrument used to listen to someone's heartbeat is called a stethoscope.

1. As a child I enjoyed feeding gnats and ants to the _______. This fascinating creature lies in ambush at the bottom of a funnel-shaped pit with one primary goal--devour anything entering its slip-n-slide of death.
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was ant lion The ant lion's body features two massive pincers used to grab any insect that falls into the pit. Ant lions

are known to even sling sand at any insect that has escaped, in an effort to make the insect slide back down for a second shot. Ant lion pits feature loose soil (either very fine or sandy) held together with mucus excretions. 41% of players have answered correctly.

2. I'm not a fan, but this insect is prized by forensic scientists the world over. It is incredibly common, but distinct in the efficient way it locates dead things, lays its eggs and begins a new circle of life and death.
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was blowfly The blowfly's life cycle is so predictable, forensics experts often study the insect life cycle stage within a cadaver to help approximate date and/or time of death. The blowfly has an incredible sense of smell and they are usually the "first responders" to anything dead, out in the open. 55% of players have answered correctly.

3. This insect lives in perfect harmony with a multitude of fellow ________, working well within an animal-world caste system. This insect produces several products fit for human consumption.
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was honey bees Honey bees are incredibly efficient, producing two extremely useful products for human consumption, honey and wax. A single bee produces about a teaspoon of honey in its lifespan. Wax is a byproduct of the bee's consumption of the honey it creates. In a very efficient process, bees excrete the wax from the consumed honey and then use the wax as building material to fortify and seal the hive. 91% of players have answered correctly.

4. "Green" gardeners use this insect in spades for its appetite for aphids. Despite its habit of secreting its own foul-smelling yellow blood in self defense, this insect has charmed many a child.

Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was ladybug Ladybugs (also called ladybirds) are extremely useful insects in a garden. However, their habitual invasion of people's homes to huddle by the hundreds in windows during the winter months leaves a bad taste in some people's mouth. Love them or hate them, they do a great service in keeping crop-destroying aphids under control. 82% of players have answered correctly.

5. Not my cup of tea, but this swarming insect is considered "good to eat" in some parts of the world. There are several Biblical accounts of individuals surviving on these creatures.
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was locust These days, many countries in Southeast Asia serve locust on the menu. They are seasoned and deep fried in batter, or boiled with spices and other sauces. High in protein and usually numerous (in a swarm), they have kept many from starvation in crisis situations. 77% of players have answered correctly.

6. Although not an insect, this creature has many medical uses. Once considered folk medicine, this creature is making its way onto medical teams with ease for its superb skills in working in blood.
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was leech A leech is an annelid (soft-bodied creature grouped with earthworms). Once a leech has taken a bite, it produces anti-coagulating secretions that aid a surgical team in preventing clotting and promoting good circulation. Leeches have been used for centuries as a medical cure for many things from stomach ailments (which they did not help) to blood disorders (with which they can help). Bed bugs, mosquitoes and fleas ARE insects that are also fellow blood-suckers. However, their bite isn't as useful because most carry parasites and/or viruses that make people ill (or

dead). 90% of players have answered correctly.

7. Another lovely larvae, this is another "folk remedy" growing in popularity for its larva's ability to clean and heal. Usually applied as small babies on a bandage, these creatures do their job and move on.
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was maggot The correct answer was maggot and while the thought may be gross, maggots are incredibly beneficial. Maggots (usually blowfly maggots) are used today in modern medicine as a lastditch effort to save a limb or appendage from amputation due to infection or necrosis. As mentioned, newly hatched maggots are poured onto a wound dressing and formed around the problem spot. The maggots go to work eating away the disease, infection and decay leaving the healthy skin untouched. This allows the wound to continue to heal, stimulating new skin growth. Once the maggot has grown in size and is ready for the next stage in the fly life cycle, it falls out of the wound and is removed by the medical professional. Each poultice is usually left on the wound for a few days. 81% of players have answered correctly.

8. When she is hungry, the female ______ is a very feisty lady, known to sometimes eat her own mate. A master of camouflage, she has a big appetite eating everything from crickets to small birds and amphibians.
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was praying mantis Praying mantis are built for catching and eating anything that crosses their path. With agile front legs, armed with hook like appendages, and powerful jaws, the praying mantis snags and devours most everything head first (even when it is sometimes still alive). Females lay eggs in a cocoon of sorts that resembles beige spray foam insulation. As a child, I would help collect these cocoons to store in the freezer to be used in the spring when the garden was planted. The cold keeps the eggs in a sort of hibernation. Once placed among the growing crops, the tiny praying mantis hatch and inhabit the garden, assisting with pest control as they grow into adults. 83% of players have answered correctly.

9. Another beneficial larvae that loves mulberry leaves, this creature eventually becomes a moth. Oddly, the benefit of this larvae is that it is used for the creation of garments (whereas moths are known to destroy garments).
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was silk worm Raised in China for over 4,000 years, the silk worm cocoons are harvested and processed into a vast array of silks. Each cocoon consists of about 1,500 feet of micro-fine silk. This silk has to be processed and combined to form much thicker threads that are eventually woven into cloth. 77% of players have answered correctly.

10. This insect is the fastest creature of its size. If you saw one, you'd be impressed as its leggy body appears to be on "fast forward" all of the time. Luckily, it isn't hungry for humans, but insects. And like its namesake, some of these do indeed have stripes.
Your Answer: [No Answer] The correct answer was tiger beetle Tiger beetles come in a vast array of colors, some are even fluorescent or metallic or patterned. It's hard to tell when you try and witness one in the wild, but tiger beetles are equipped with powerful jaws that both grasp and inject a type of digestive fluid (like a spiders) helping it to break down its meal. Even the tiger beetle larvae are beneficial as they burrow in the soil and devour harmful pests in the lawn (like grubs and mole crickets).
