During photosynthesis, plants convert light energy into which type of stored energy?

Newton's third law states that for every action there is:
Answer: An equal and opposite reaction

A science teacher uses a 5E instructional model. In which phase do students make sense of new information through explanation?
Answer: Explain
The Explain phase of the 5E model is where students formalize their understanding, often with teacher guidance, by explaining concepts using evidence from the Explore phase.
Which type of variable does a scientist deliberately change in a controlled experiment?
Answer: Independent variable
The independent variable is the one the experimenter intentionally manipulates to observe its effect on the dependent variable.
