Predict a possible answer to a problem or questions
Hypothesis
What step of the Scientific Method does the following:
Test your hypothesis under controlled conditions
Experiment
What step of the Scientific Method does the following:
Collect data
Data
What step of the Scientific Method does the following:
Summary of what you discovered based of results of experiment
Conclusion
What step of the Scientific Method does the following:
Share ideas and experimental findings with others through writing, speaking, and publication in scientific journals
Communication
Educated Guess or Prediction
Hypothesis
Factors that are measured in an experiment
Variables
Variable that experimenter is purposefuly changing (“I changed it”)
Independent Variables
the measure of change observed (“data” collected)
Dependent Variables
Variables that are purposefully kept the same in the environment
Constants
of times experiment repeated
Trials
group in the experiment that DOES NOT receive the treatment that is being tested
Controlled Groups
group(s) in an experiment that receives the variable being tests.
Experimental Groups
data given as numerical measurement (i.e. written as number)
Quantitative Data
data given using descriptive language (i.e. written as words)
Qualitative Data
sum of measurements/divided by# of trials
Mean
middle value in data set
Median
most common observation
Mode
well supported explanation of observed data
Theory
What Characteristic of Life is this:
All living organisms are composed of one or more cells, which are the basic units of life
Cellular Organization
What Characteristic of Life is this:
Organisms produce new individuals either sexually, by combining genetic material from two parents, or asexually, from a single parent.
Reproduction
What Characteristic of Life is this:
Organisms maintain stable internal conditions, like temperature and pH, despite external changes.
Maintains Homeostasis
What Characteristic of Life is this:
Living beings increase in size and undergo changes throughout their life cycle.
Growth and Development
What Characteristic of Life is this:
Living organisms perform biochemical reactions to grow, reproduce, and maintain their energy needs.
Getting & Using Energy
What Characteristic of Life is this:
Living organisms react to environmental changes, such as moving toward light or adjusting to temperature shifts
