You base your observations on these
Your senses-what you can see, hear, feel, taste, and smell
100
What is the smallest unit of living things?
Cells
Every single cell in every living thing has a little bit of carbon in it, just so you know.

What is the range of the PH Scale?
1-14
200
What variable is the one you change or manipulate?
Independent variables are the ones you change
Independent variables are the ones you change
200

300
Which axis is the dependent variable graphed on?
Dependent ones go high on the axis known as Y
300
I should do this when I first look at a passage.
Look at the questions and charts, graphs, or tables to see if I can answer them fast.

Data represented by numbers
Quantitative
300
Plants perform this process to turn light energy into food
Photosynthesis
Carbon Dioxide + Water, in the presence of sunlight, produce Glucose (sugar) + Oxygen
400
If you drew a "line of best fit" for this scatter plot, what would the line look like?
400
These variables remain the same in an experiment
Control variables remain the same
Control variables remain the same
It's so you can compare and the test you do is fair
Control variables remain the same.
400
How many passages will be on the science portion of the ACT?
6-7
400
Data based on characteristics or in words
Qualitative
400
This type of energy is affected by mass and speed
Kineti Energy, or the energy of motion
Potential energy is affected by mass and height
500
When 2 variables are graphed and go in the same direction, what is the relationship called?
Direct relationship
500
What do the arrows on this graph represent?
Ocean currents
Warm water rises and cold water sinks. Water is warmed at the equator and then moves towards the poles, creating convection currents.
500
I should do this before I begin the science portion of the ACT
Breathe
Relax
Tell myself that I am amazing and can do this.
Remember that Mrs. Whitt believes in me and knows I'm going to be fantastic.
500
When you find or estimate data within a given range
Interpolate or interpolation
If it's outside the data range, then you extrapolate
500

Tsunami
They can also be created by volcanos and landslides
