A

data communicated using words or descriptions

26
Q

What is quantitative data?

A

data communicated with numbers

27
Q

What is the definition of theory?

A

an idea that scientist use to explain the data they have collected

A

the idea that scientists use to describe what they observe.

29
Q

What are things that make up the value of life?

A
  1. God has engineered your cells to work together to maintain your body’s homeostasis.
  2. God provided this for all living things

  5. You are God’s special design made in His image.
30
Q

What is the Law of Superposition?

A

this is the law that scientist use to make sense of what is happening to living things over time. The basic idea is that organisms buried deeper in undisturbed rock layers are older than the living things buried higher in the ground.

31
Q

What do Naturalists believe?

A

think thousands to millions of years have passed before the next rock layer was laid.

32
Q

What do Creationist believe?

A

God’s word recognize that these rock layers were laid down very quickly during the Flood. Higher layers may indeed by younger than older layers, but only by a matter of hours or days.

33
Q

What is the definition of Model?

A

simplifies something in the world to explain, describe, or represent it.
Ex. physical object, a graph, a computer program or even a number.

34
Q

What is scientific inquiry?

A

involves a variety of tools and skills to answer a question or solve a problem. This is how science works in the real world.

35
Q

What are the 8 parts of a scientific inquiry?

A
  1. controlled experiment
  2. variables
  3. independent variable
  4. dependent variable
  5. observe
  6. Test
  7. analyze and draw conclusions
  8. communicate
36
Q

What is the definition controlled experiment?

A

a way for a scientist to test the way he thinks something works by examining the effect of one factor at a time.

37
Q

What is the definition of variables?

A

factors that change

38
Q

What is the definition of independent variable?

A

the scientist changes the experiment

39
Q

What is the definition of dependent variable?

can change due to the independent variable.

40
Q

What is the definition of hypthesis?

A

an explanation based on limited observations

41
Q

What is classification?

A

helps us generalize among groups or organisms to see how they are similar. It also helps us compare similar organisms to see where they are different. This is just a tool we use.

42
Q

What is Taxonomy?

A

the science of sorting organisms into groups

43
Q

What are the 8 parts of the classification system?

A
  1. Domain
  2. Kingdom
  3. Phylum
  4. Class
  5. Order
  6. Family
  7. Genus
  8. Species
44
Q

What are the 3 traits of domains and kingdoms?

A
  1. the types of cells they have.
  2. The number of cells they have
  3. How they get energy
45
Q

the dense part of the cell that contains the information it needs to carry out cell processes

46
Q

What are Eukaryotic cells?

A

cells with a nucleus

47
Q

What are Prokaryotic cells?

A

cells with NO nucleus

48
Q

What are Autotrophs?

A

organisms that make their food using energy from their environment

49
Q

What are Heterotrophs?

A

organisms that get energy by eating other organisms

50
Q

A

identifies an organism uniquely.

51
Q

The first part of the scientific name gives the what?

A

Genus

52
Q

The second part the scientific name gives the what?

A

Species

54
Q

Classification vs. Worldview:
what is the diversity of life that we can see around us is not the mark of evolution but the Creator’s mark?
