Lab Safety
Flammable materials should never be used around..
What are ... open flames
the central theme of all inquiry
What are ... questions
This graph shows continuous data
What is a line graph
The scientist who studied Chimps
Who is Jane Goodall
When a seed 'wakes up' from hibernation
Germination
If a fire breaks out, immediately do this.
What is ... notify the instructor
Email, conferences, calling, meeting, publishing, magazines, books, journals, etc.
What is ... communicating with the wider community (of scientists)
This type of graph is good when one set of data is not continuous, and compares things
Observations of the chimps were documented here
What are Field Notes or journals
What we measured
germination and growth of the seeds
After finishing an experiment, chemical waste should be placed here
What is ... in the waste disposal container in the fume hood
Which activities require a scientist to communicate with others?
experiment and data, research, defining problem, reflection, analyze results, pretty much everything
Independent variable, typically placed on the X axis
What is the variable that is changed or manipulated the the experimenter
Before seeing this, scientists thought only humans could use tools
What is ... chimps using tools
This is what we changed in the experiment
You have been injured in a lab (cut, burn, etc), you should first do this.
What is ... tell the instructor at once
Science Method activities are carried out in this order
It can be pretty much any order... typically with questions
The dependent variable, typically placed on the Y axis
What is the "responding" variable. It responds to the independent variable... usually is measured and placed in a data table.
Observations of chimps showed that they share this human aspect
chimps show emotional attachments to each other
Where we original recorded and organized our data
Data table
This type of footwear is not allowed during labs.
What are ... open toed shoes
Spontaneous generation
Every graph should have these items
Title, labeled axis, scale, intervals (on the scale)
Compare humans and chimps
Humans and chimps both show emotions, care for their young, can be kind but also violent and aggressive
How we 'saw' the independent and dependent variables compared to each other
