Worldview Challenge
This worldview teaches that life developed through natural processes.
What is naturalism?
Living things must obtain and use this to carry out life processes.
What is energy?
The feathers are bright red is this type of data.
What is qualitative data?
The factors that can change in an experiment are called these.
What are variables?
This classification level contains the fewest organisms.
What is species?
These 3 words summarize the Bible's overarching story
What is creation, fall, and redemption?
A sunflower turning toward light demonstrates this characteristic of life.
What is response to environment (stimulus)?
The bird weighs 2.1 kilograms is this type of data.
What is quantitative data?
A student investigates how water temperature affects how quickly a sugar cube dissolves. Water temperature is this type of variable.
What is the independent variable?
An organism that must consume or absorb other organisms for energy is called this.
What is a heterotroph?
In a biblical worldview, this is the ultimate source of truth.
What is God's Word?
A bacterium dividing into two new bacteria demonstrates this characteristic of life.
What is reproduction?
A student records that a leaf is smooth, green, and oval. These observations are qualitative because they use these instead of measurements.
What are words and descriptions?
A scientist tests whether a new vitamin increases the growth of tomato plants. One group receives the vitamin, while another group does not. The group that does not receive the vitamin serves as this group.
What is the control group?
An organism consisting of only one cell is described by this term.
What is unicellular?
Studying an endangered species and developing a plan to protect it fulfills this biblical responsibility.
What is the Creation Mandate?
A person shivers when cold. Explain how this response demonstrates homeostasis.
What is shivering produces heat that helps return body temperature to normal range?
Classify both observations: The frog is 8 centimeters long and the frog feels slippery.
What are quantitative and qualitative?
Explain why scientists should change only one independent variable in a controlled experiment.
What is so they can determine which variable caused the observed results?
Scientists discover a cell without a nucleus. This cell is classified as this type.
What is prokaryotic?
Give one similarity and two differences between biblical worldview.
What is both seek to explain the origin of life, a biblical worldview beleives God's Word as the ultimate source of truth, and God created life, while naturalism relies on science as the source of truth and believes life arose through natural processes.
A robot moves, uses energy, and responds to commands. Explain why these traits alone do not prove it is alive.
What is it is not made of cells, does not reproduce, and does not maintain homeostasis?
Give one qualitative and one quantitative observation that a scientistcould make about a tomato plant.
What is the leaves are dark green and the plant is 24 cm tall, answers will vary?
A student investigates whether saltwater affects seed germination. Identify the independent variable, dependent variable, control group, and experimental group.
What are the saltwater concentration; the number or percentage of seeds that germinate; seeds receiving plain water, and seeds receiving saltwater?
An unknown organism has one cell and makes its own food, but scientists do not know whether it has a nucleus. Identify what can and cannot be determined.
What is it is unicellular and autotrophic, but scientists cannot determine whether it is prokaryotic or eukaryotic without knowing whether it has a nucleus?
