Microbiome & Health
These medications fight bacterial infections, but they have the side effect of reducing both harmful and healthy bacteria in your microbiome.
What are antibiotics?
This basic unit of life is found in all living things, but is never found in non-living things
What is a cell?
In an experiment, this is the factor that the scientist intentionally changes or tests.
What is the independent variable?
This measurement describes the resting position or water level when no waves are passing through.
What is the normal (or baseline)?
How many cats does Ms. Reyes have?
What are two cats?
Doctors often recommend taking these pills containing living microorganisms to help increase helpful gut bacteria after antibiotic treatment.
What are probiotics?
This term describes both living and non-living things, because everything physical in the universe is made of it.
What are matter/molecules?
In an experiment, this is the factor that is measured or observed as the result.
What is the dependent variable?
This wave property measures how far the tallest part of a wave is from its normal resting level.
What is amplitude?
What does Ms. Reyes love to do for fun?
What is Read and Travel?
This is the complete collection of millions of living microorganisms (like bacteria and fungi) that live on and inside the human body.
What is the human microbiome?
Order these three components from smallest to largest: Human Cell, Molecule, Organism.
What is Molecule, Human Cell, Organism?
In the hand sanitizer experiment, swab growth on agar plates was measured after sanitizer application. This was the independent variable.
What is applying the hand sanitizer?
This wave measurement answers the question: "How close together are the waves?
What is wavelength?
Ms. Reyes Loves Star Wars. What's her favorite character?
Who is Darth Vader?
This describes what a microbiome needs in order to be considered healthy, rather than being completely bacteria-free.
What is a wide variety/diversity of helpful bacteria?
This single observation proves an organism is unicellular, rather than just being microscopic.
What is it performs all life functions within that single cell?
In the hand sanitizer experiment, this was the dependent variable.
What is the amount of bacterial growth on the agar plates?
If Monkey 1 makes a sound wave with a very small amplitude, this is what its sound actually sounds like.
What is very quiet?
How many years has Ms. Reyes taught at Kipp?
What is two years?
Antibiotics leave people feeling sick after treating an infection because they do not do this between types of bacteria.
What is the difference between healthy (good) and harmful (bad) bacteria?
True or False: Being too small to see without a microscope is definitive proof that an organism is single-celled.
What is False? (Some multicellular organisms are also microscopic).
Keeping the swabbing technique, incubation temperature, and 3-day growth period identical for all students are examples of these.
What are controlled variables (constants)?
aller ocean waves crashing on the shore best demonstrate a concept shared with sound waves, where greater wave height equals greater energy and this sound property.
What is higher amplitude (or volume/loudness)?
How old is Ms. Reyes? (closes number wins)
What is 30 years old?
