Science
The study of living things and their environment.
Biology.
The side effect of the steam engine that affects all humans nearby is called what?
Pollution.
A glass container used only for heating, storing and mixing substances.
Test tubes.
The five senses are used for this skill.
Observation.
A carefully designed set of steps that will help a scientist come to a conclusion is which part of the scientific method?
Experimenting.
The study of the properties of substances such as what they're made of how they react with each other.
Chemistry.
Education.
A glass container used to measure an estimated volume of a substance. Not the most accurate tool.
Beaker.
Grouping things together that have something in common is which skill?
The variable that is measured throughout the experiment so that a scientist can determine what the results mean.
Dependent variable.
The study of matter, motion and energy.
Physics.
The invention that allowed for simple electronics such as the lightbulb to be made. A simple connection between a power source and a device.
Circuit.
A tool used for transferring liquids safely or for filtering out solids from a liquid.
Funnel.
Making a formal prediction about what will happen during an experiment.
Hypothesis.
This group is designated as the 'normal' group where what we might expect will happen during the experiment.
Control group.
Biology, Chemistry and Physics are all considered which type of science?
Pure.
An invention that first used coal to power its movement. It's now found in cars and uses gasoline as fuel.
Engines.
A ceramic set of a tools used for grinding substances into a powder.
Mortar and pestle.

Constant variable.
The study of the laws of rock formations, minerals and properties of the Earth is what branch of science?
Geology.
An invention that uses many circuits and transistors to give a device the ability to do many things at once. A phone might have several of these.
Microchips.
A ceramic dish used for heating a dry substance to a high temperature.
Crucible.
What must be true about your hypothesis before beginning the experiment?
It must be testable.
This variable is what makes our experiment meaningful. This variable changes in every group except the control group.
Independent Variable.
