representing ideas, events, and objects
changing experimental results
providing descriptions of patterns in nature

measurement
science
graphing
hypothesizing
______ science deals with matter and energy.
life
physical
earth
social

Explanation:

First Question:

• "using derived units as measurements": Models aren't mainly for using derived units; derived units are for measurement systems.
• "representing ideas, events, and objects": Models in science (like physical, conceptual models) represent these to simplify understanding, which is a key benefit.
• "changing experimental results": Models don't change results; they help interpret or predict, not alter data.
• "providing descriptions of patterns in nature": Theories/laws describe patterns; models represent, not just describe patterns.

• "Measurement": Is about quantifying, not the process of gaining knowledge about nature's regularities.
• "Science": Science is the process of using observation/investigation to understand natural regularities.
• "Graphing": Is a tool to display data, not the process of gaining knowledge about nature.
• "Hypothesizing": Is part of the scientific method, not the overall process of gaining knowledge about nature's regularities.

• "Life science": Deals with living organisms, not matter and energy.
• "Physical science": Includes physics/chemistry, which deal with matter and energy (e.g., motion, energy transfer, chemical reactions).
• "Earth science": Deals with Earth's systems (geology, meteorology), not matter and energy in the broad physical sense.
• "Social science": Deals with human society, not matter and energy.

Answer:

B. representing ideas, events, and objects
