Data
There are 3.45mls in a beaker of acid. This is an example of:
Quantitative data
First step to the scientific method:
To observe
The process by which organisms make more of their own kind.
Reproduction
In an experiment, this is the factor you measure to see if it changes.
Dependent variable
All living things are made of these tiny building blocks.
Cells
There are black stripes on the zebras. This is an example of:
Second step to the scientific method:
Form a hypothesis
This characteristic means organisms respond to changes in their environment.
Response to stimuli
A well-tested explanation supported by evidence, not just a guess
Theory
Orderly, direct information fathering about a phenomenon.
Observation.
Nine students are above 5 foot tall. This is an example of:
Quantitative data.
Third step of the scientific method:
Perform experiment
Living things must maintain a stable internal environment, a process known as this.
Homeostasis
The high level of order living things show, from cells to ecosystems.
Organization
A testable explanation
Hypothesis.
Qualitative data is the data that:
Describes the physical characteristics of something.
4th Step to the scientific method:
Analyze data
Over long periods of time, populations of living things change through this process.
Evolution
The group in an experiment that does not receive the independent variable, used for comparison.
The control group
How many variables can you change in an experiment.
Only one at a time.
Quantitative data is data that:
Describes the numerical data of something.
5th Step of scientific method:
Conclude experiment.
A caterpillar becoming a butterfly is an example of this characteristic.
Growth and development
Factors in an experiment that are kept the same so they don’t affect results.
Constants.
Response = immediate, individual
Adaptation = gradual, across generations
