Please answer this: There are two cats sitting outside in the sun. One of them has white fur and one of them has black fur. Tina sees them and goes to pet them both.                                                            Robert is planning a beach trip and needs to buy a new lounge chair to sit in because his old one is broken. At the store he sees two chairs that he likes. One of the chairs is dark blue and one of the chairs is light blue.  If left in the sun at the beach which chair color would become warmer the dark blue chair or the light blue chair?  Hint: Light may transfer its energy to matter rather than being reflected or transmitted by matter. This is called absorption . When light is absorbed, the added energy increases the temperature of matter. If you get into a car that has been sitting in the sun all day, the seats and other parts of the car’s interior may be almost too hot to touch, especially if they are black or very dark in color. That’s because dark colors absorb most of the sunlight that strikes them.

Please answer this: Ted had 2 uncles. Uncle Jerry was getting up there in age, he was 78 years-old. Uncle Tom was younger, he was in his early 50's and still very active and productive.  Which uncle had a decreased reflex time?  Hint: Old age begins in the mid-60s and lasts until the end of life. Most people over 65 have retired from work, freeing up their time for hobbies, grandchildren, and other interests. Stamina, strength, reflex time, and the senses all decline during old age, and the number of brain cells decreases as well. The immune system becomes less efficient, increasing the risk of serious illnesses such as cancer and pneumonia. Diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease that cause loss of mental function also become more common.

Please answer this: UK and France had scientific bases in Antarctica. UK had a base and studied the climate in East Antarctica, while France observed the climate in West Antarctica.  Which country experienced less snowfall?  Hint: East Antarctica is colder than its western counterpart because of its higher elevation. Weather fronts rarely penetrate far into the continent, leaving the centre cold and dry. Despite the lack of precipitation over the central portion of the continent, ice there lasts for extended periods. Heavy snowfalls are common on the coastal portion of the continent, where snowfalls of up to 1.22 metres (48 in) in 48 hours have been recorded.
