Question 16 (Educational Media Specialist)

A librarian observes that a teacher has made 35 copies of the first page of a 7-page science article in a magazine, one copy for each of his students. He states that he has cleared this with the principal. Are the teacher’s actions allowable under copyright law?

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

  • ○

    No, because by copying the article, the teacher denies the author financial gain from his or her work
  • ○

    Yes, under the Fair Usage provision of the copyright law
  • ○

    No, because only a single copy may be made of copyrighted material
  • ○

    Yes, because the teacher obtained permission from the principal to make these copies
Question 17 (School Psychology)

  • ○

    “Step-up” teachers who follow their students from one grade to the next
  • ○

    Teachers of mixed-age classes with the same students for several years
  • ○

    Teachers with a class of all new students with no earlier school records
Question 18 (General Science)

A class exercise involves demonstration of the principle of neutralization of acids and bases. The reagents available are 1 M NaOH, concentrated HCl, water, and phenol red [a pH indicator that turns from yellow to red under basic conditions].

The procedure chosen by the teacher is as follows:

Step 1: Prior to class, the teacher prepares 1 M HCl by adding 914 ml water to 86 ml of HCl. [Note that concentrated HCl is 11.65 M.] Step 2: Since the class is divided into nine groups of three students, the teacher distributes the 1 M HCl into nine 125 ml flasks.

Step 3: Each group is given a dropper bottle with phenol red, a bottle containing 200 ml of 1 M NaOH, and a 25 ml pipette with bulb.

Step 4: The students are instructed to add the phenol red to the HCl until a visible yellow color is seen, record the color, then slowly add NaOH, and record the volume of NaOH required to make the solution alkaline.

What did the teacher do wrong in step 1?

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

  • ○

    He/she should have chilled the water used to reduce the heat of mixing.
  • ○

    He/she should have added the acid to about 500 ml of water then brought the volume to exactly 1000 ml.
  • ○

    HCl is a weak acid. He/she should have used more HCl to create a solution that is 1 M in hydronium ions.
  • ○

    The volumes of acid and water are not additive. He/she should have added 500 ml of water and then after the mixture cooled brought the volume to exactly 1000 ml.
