1) In each of following (a) through (f), explain whether or not the sentence makes scientific sense. If it does not, then replace one or more of the underlined words with one or more other words so that the sentence makes scientific sense, and then rewrite the sentence completely. (a) Dark matter and luminous energy together comprise 95% of the universe's contents. (b) The wave-particle duality of matter is part of the theory of special pseudoscience. (c) Bosons, quarks, protons, and neutrinos are all examples of fermions. (d) Light waves are acoustic waves that carry power and their intensity is measured in decibels. (e) Two consequences of the general theory of relativity include black holes and the Big Bang. (f) Because of nuclear fission, the chemical elements that comprise us were made in bombs.

2) In each of following (a) through (g), use all of the listed words in a single sentence that makes scientific sense. Underline each of those words where they appear. You will be assessed on both the sentence construction and the scientific accuracy. (a) voltage, power, current, circuit, [name of a car] (b) pressure, phase, fluid, compressible, gas, [name of a scientist] (c) duality, particle, quantum, uncertainty, Planck, [name of an animal] (d) force, electrostatic, charge, distance, coulomb, [name of a machine] (e) Higgs, collider, mass, field, particle, [name of a language] (f) wavelength, frequency, acoustic, velocity, light, [name of a singer] (g) alpha, beta, gamma, quantum, magnetism, [name of a food]
