100
descriptive data
What is qualitative data
100
a group that is exposed to the same conditions as the experimental group and does not receive the independent variable
What is control group
100
living things are based on this basic universal code
What is genetic code

description of space refers to a location or size of an oblect measured in meters
What is length
200
A logical interpretation based on what scientists already know
What is inferences
200
an experiment where only ONE variable is changed, all the other variables are kept constant/controlled
What is controlled experiment
200
well tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations and hypotheses and that enables scientists to make accurate predictions about new situations
What is theory
200
code that is passed from parent to offspring
What is DNA
200

What is hypothesis
300
the variable that is changed on purpose (manipulated variable)
What is independent variable
300
maintains a stable internal environment
What is homeostasis
300
signal to which an organism responds (temperature, predator)
What is stimulus
300
amount of space an object takes up. Solids measured in cubic centimeters. Liquids measured in liters
What is volume
400

What is data
400
the variable that is observed and that changes in response to the independent variable (responding variable)
What is dependent variable
400
rate at which an organism makes and breaks down materials
What is metabolism
400
all living things do these two things
What is grow and develop
400
amount of matter an object contains. measured in kilograms or grams
What is mass
500
numbers obtained by counting or measuring
What is quantitative data
500
the group that has all variables controlled and the only variation is the independent variable

500
other scientists in the field read and review your experimental findings
What is peer review
500
this measures the average kinetic energy of a substance. measured in celsius or kelvin
