NAME TWO OF THE FIVE STEPS OF THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
Statement of hypothesis
Data collection
Blank IS AN UNPROVEN CONCLUSION THAT ATTEMPTS TO EXPLAIN SOME PHENOMENA.
USUALLY IN THE FORM OF A QUESTION/ TESTABLE/ AND BASED ON MEASURABLE DESCRIBABLE FACTS
Hypothesis
Blank IS A LOGICAL, PRACTICAL, AND RELIABLE WAY OF APPROACHING AND
SOLVING PROBLEMS TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE, IT COMPRISES 5 MAJOR STEPS
Scientific method
OBSERVATIONS ARE MADE USING THE SENSES (HEARING, TASTING, SEEING,
SMELLING, TOUCHING)
Qualitative
Blank OBSERVATIONS ARE BASED ON PRECISE MEASUREMENTS, EXAMPLES ARE VOLUME, MASS, SIZE.
QUANTITATIVE
Blank IS A PROCEDURE DESIGNED TO DESCRIBE THE FACTORS IN A GIVEN SITUATION
THAT AFFECT ONE ANOTHER (TO DISCOVER A CAUSE AND EFFECT) UNDER CERTAIN
CIRCUMSTANCES
EXPERIMENTS
A blank IS ANY FACTOR THAT MIGHT AFFECT THE OUTCOME OF THE EXPERIMENT
Variable
THE blank VARIABLE IS MANIPULATED BY THE EXPERIMENTER TO DETERMINE EFFECT ON THE DEPENDENT VARIABLE
Independent variable
THE blank VARIABLE CHANGES IN RESPONSE TO CHANGES MADE TO THE
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE
Dependent variable
A blank IS A NORMAL STANDARD AGAINST WHICH ALL OTHER SAMPLES ARE
COMPARED RELATIVE TO THE DEPENDENT VARIABLE
Control
THE blank IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HIGHEST AND LOWEST NUMBERS
OBTAINED IN A SAMPLE
Range
THE blank IS THE SUM OF THE ITEMS DIVIDED THE NUMBER OF ITEMS
Mean
A FOCUS FOR INVESTIGATION IS CALLED THE blank
Observation
THE blank IS AN ARBITRARY SYSTEM OF MEASUREMENT BASED ON UNITS OF TENS
METRIC SYSTEM
A blank IS A LINE CONNECTING THE PLOT POINTS OF THE INDEPENDENT AND DEPENDENT VARIABLES ON AN X AND Y AXIS.
CURVE
A blank IS A HYPOTHESIS THAT HAS BEEN VALIDATED BY MANY DIFFERENT
INVESTIGATORS
THEORY
A blank IS A THEORY THAT HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY VERIFIED AND APPEARS TO HAVE WIDE APPLICATION IN BIOLOGY
BIOLOGICAL PRINCIPLE
GIVE TWO OF THE PARTS OF A LAB REPORT
Abstract
Discussion
GIVE THE METRIC UNIT OF MEASUREMENT FOR LENGTH:
Meter
GIVE THE METRIC UNIT OF MEASUREMENT FOR VOLUME:
Liter
GIVE THE METRIC UNIT OF MEASUREMENT FOR MASS:
Gram
GIVE THE METRIC UNIT OF MEASUREMENT FOR TIME:
Second
GIVE THE EQUATION FOR FINDING CELSIUS DEGREES WHEN GIVEN FARENHEIT DEGREES
C=[5(F-32)]/9
GIVE THE EQUATION FOR FINDING FARENHEIT DEGREES WHEN GIVEN CELSIUS DEGREES
F=(9/5)C+32
AN OBJECT’S blank IS THE AMOUNT OF MATTER IN AN OBJECT
MASS
THE blank OF AN OBJECT VARIES WITH GRAVITATIONAL PULL ON THE OBJECT
WEIGHT
WHAT IS THE ENGLISH / BRITISH UNIT OF TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT?
FAHRENHEIT
NAME TWO OF THE CRITERION THAT MUST BE USED FOR THE STATEMENT OF HYPOTHESIS
TESTABLE
BASED ON FACTS
NAME ONE TYPE OF ELEMENTARY TREATMENT OF DATA USED IN THE LAB
Mean
Blank IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD AND IS THE PRIMARY
BASIS FOR SUPPORT OF REJECTION OF MANY HYPOTHESIS
REPEATABILITY
FROM THE LATIN “FOR 100”, MEANS PARTS PER 100 PARTS
PERCENT
Percent
WHICH VARIABLE, DEPENDENT OR INDEPENDENT, IS FOUND / PLACED ON THE X-AXIS
Independent
WHICH VARIABLE, DEPENDENT OR INDEPENDENT, IS FOUND/ PLACED ON THE Y-AXIS
Dependent
GIVE ONE OF THE TWO CONCLUSIONS / RESULTS THAT ARE OBTAINED BY A VALID / CORRECT
HYPOTHESIS THAT HAS BEEN USED AND VALIDATED BY MANY INVESTIGATORS
BIOLOGICAL PRINCIPLE
NAME THE OBJECTIVE LENS THAT HAS THE LOWEST MAGNIFICATION (NAME OR MAGNIFICATION)
SCANNING OBJECTIVE LENS
WHERE IS THE POINTER FOUND IN A MICROSCOPE?
OCULAR LENS (EYEPIECE)
A GROUP OF CELLS THAT ARE SIMILAR IN STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION ARE CALLED
Tissues
TO PERFORM SPECIFIC BODY FUNCTIONS, TISSUES ARE ARRANGED INTO blank,
SUCH AS THE HEART, THE LUNGS, OR THE KIDNEY
Organs
Blank DISTANCE BETWEEN THE OBJECTIVE AND THE SPECIMEN ON THE SLIDE
WORKING DISTANCE
Blank IS THE ABILITY TO DISCRIMINATE TWO CLOSE OBJECTS AS SEPARATE
RESOLUTION
Blank IS THE ABILITY OF MICROSCOPES TO MAINTAIN A SLIDE IN PROPER FOCUS WHEN
CHANGING MAGNIFICATION
PARFOCAL
OCULAR MAGNIFICATION MULTIPLIED BY THE OBJECTIVE MAGNIFICATION IS THE
TOTAL MAGNIFICATION
HOW IS THE FIELD SIZE UNDER THE MICROSCOPE MEASURED (DONE IN THE LAB)?
SIZE IN mm OF FIELD AT SMALLEST MAGNIFICATION
