The Scientific Method
The correct headings for a formal written lab report.
What is introduction, Materials and procedure, Data and results, and Conclusion?
The order of visible wavelengths of light
ROY G. BIV
The study of the Earth's physical structure, its history, the processes acting on it, and the rocks of which it is composed
What is geology
The study of weather
Meteorology
The smallest chemical unit of matter
Atom
The hypothesis is found in this section of the lab report
What is the introduction?
The four terrestrial planets
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Venus
The decayed remains of once-living creatures
Moisture falling from the atmosphere as rain, snow, or hail
Precipitaion
Two or more atoms linked together to make a substance with unique properties
Molecule
An explanation of the natural world that has been thoroughly tested and is supported a significant amount of evidence
What is scientific law
The four gas planets
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
The major carrier of sediments that makes them settle out in layers
What is water
A force exerted onto a surface by the weight of air molecules
Air pressure
A bond between two elements where one transfers electrons to the other
Ionic bond
A description of a natural phenomenon or principle that is supported by a significant amount of evidence and often includes mathematical terms
What is scientific theory
A natural or artificial body orbiting a planet or star
A person that believes sedimentary rock formed through slow processes, much the same way we see it forming today (uniformitarians or catastrophists)
Uniformitarians
A container of air that is heated up would increase or decrease the air pressure
Increase
Type of bond between two elements where the elements share electrons
Covalent bond
T/F: Science can 100% prove something
What is false
The branch of science that deals with the physical universe beyond Earth's atmosphere
Astronomy
People who believe much of the geology we see today is the result of a sudden, violent, short-lived events that occurred once in the Earth's past and will not be repeated (uniformitarians or catastrophists)
Catastrophists
The air properties that meteorologists use to help predict weather
Three basic types of particles that make up atoms
Protons, neutrons, and electrons
