Observation/Inference
Ms. Springman is not wearing earrings today.
What is a Qualitative Observation?
These are the two important variables in an experiment.
What are the Independent and Dependent Variables?
This is the monomer of a lipid.
What is a fatty acid?
These are the four macromolecules that make up all of life.
What are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids?
This is the variable that we change on purpose in an experiment, or the cause of the experiment.
What is the Independent Variable?
There are eight dogs in the kennel.
What is a Quantitative Observation?
This variable is the effect in an experiment, or the thing that the experimenter measures.
What is the Dependent Variable?
This is the monomer of a carbohydrate.
What is a monosaccharide?
This is the function of lipids in the body.
What is long-term energy storage?
This is something that we can know for sure by either seeing it, hearing it, smelling it, tasting it, or feeling it.
What is an Observation?
The people must be cheering because they won money.
What is an Inference?
This is the correct format for a hypothesis.
What is "If IV, then DV"?
This is the monomer of a protein.
What is an amino acid?
This is an example of protein in the food we eat.
What is meat, Greek yogurt, beans, and nuts?
This is the reason that humans never break down nucleic acids for energy.
What is the need for nucleic acids to store our genes in DNA?
Ms. Springman is smiling today - she must be excited that she can finally go to a volleyball game.
What is an Inference?
This is the group where the independent variable changes.
What is the experimental group?
This is the monomer of a nucleic acid.
What is a nucleotide?
This is the order in which humans use macromolecules for energy, from first to never.
What is carbs, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids?
This is the name of a famous scientist who makes videos and has a theme song where people chant his name.
Who is Bill Nye the Science Guy?
Nobody showed up to the town hall.
What is a Quantitative Observation?
In an experiment testing to see whether hybrid or electric cars are better for the environment, examples of these would be making sure the cars drive the same amount of time, are the same make and model, and generally are as similar as possible.
What are experimental constants?
This is the definition of a monomer.
What is a building block of repeating units that together make up a macromolecule?
This is the reason that proteins are only ever broken down for energy in the body when we are close to starvation.
What is the importance of proteins and how we need them to do almost everything our bodies do?
This is the town in Texas where Ms. Springman spent her summer.
What is Houston (we have a problem)?
