Scientific Method
This is the first step in the scientific method where a scientist identifies a problem or asks a question.
What is ask a question?
These are the three main types of rocks.
What are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic?
Anything that has mass and takes up space.
What is matter?
This is the ability to do work.
What is energy?
The basic unit of structure and function for all living things.
What is the cell?
This is a testable prediction based on observations.
What is hypothesis?
This type of rock forms when magma or lava cools.
What is igneous rocks?
This tiny particle has a positive charge and is found in the nucleus.
What is a proton?
The energy of motion is called this.
What is kinetic energy?
This theory states that all living things are made of cells.
What is the cell theory?
During an experiment, this variable is purposely changed.
What is the independent variable?
All minerals must be this state of matter.
What is solid?
This tiny particle has a negative charge and is found outside the nucleus.
What is an electron?
This type of energy is stored energy.
What is potential energy?
This organelle controls the activities of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
During an experiment this variable is measured.
What is the dependent variable?
This property describes how a mineral reflects light.
What is luster?
The center of an atom is called this.
What is the nucleus?
The transfer of heat energy by movement of liquids or gases in currents.
What is convection?
Plant cells have this organelle that captures sunlight for photosynthesis.
What is chloroplast?
This is the group in an experiment that does not receive the treatment being tested.
What is the control group?
Atoms of a mineral are arranged in an orderly pattern, not random, known as what structure?
What is crystal structure?
In the modern periodic table elements are arranged in order of this property.
What is atomic number?
The transfer of heat energy in the form of electromagnet waves (ex. the sun).
What is radiation?
This scientist first observed cork cells using a microscope and gave the "cell" its name.
