science
Science - process of gaining knowledge about the natural world.
what is The nature of science.
Matter and energy.
What is Physics.
Observations > questions > hypothesis > predictions > experiment > back to observations.
What is Scientific method.
Earth has unlimited supply; keep moving to another location when resources are used up (anthropocentric - human centered).
What is the Frontier ethic.
The smallest piece of an element.
What is the atom.
Logical thinking that uses related observations to arrive at a general conclusion.
What is inductive reasoning.
Earth science.
What is geology.
Variable changed by the person doing the experiment.
What is the Experimental variable ( independent).
People treat the earth as a finite resource (anthropocentric or biocentric - life created).
What is Sustainable ethics.
Two or more elements chemically bonded to make a new substance.
What is Molecule.
Thinking that uses general principles or laws to forecast specific results, extrapolate and predict the specific results.
What is deductive reasoning.
Life science.
What is biology.
Part of the experiment that are not changed by the experimenter, but might change because of the independent variable.
What is the Controlled variable (dependent).
Land includes soil, water, pants and animals; man is just a member of the community not the boss.
What is land ethics.
Elements of life
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur.
What is chnops.
Pure science that seeks new information.
What is basic science.
Substances and interactions.
What is chemistry.
Does not receive the experimental treatment.
What is the Control group.
Number of protons in an atom.
What is the atomic number.
Elements that are bonded together.
What is compound.
Uses science to solve a real-world problem; has an underlying question or problem to solve.
What is applied science
Is a form of radiometric dating, the measurement of a single type of element to determine how long ago something lived.
What is carbon 14 dating.
Receive the new treatment.
What is the Experimental group.
The amount of protons and neutrons in an atom.
What is mass number.
Polar - contains hydrogen bonds that keeps it in the liquid state at room temperature.
Stabilizes temperature - absorbs a lot of energy without a change in temperature.
Universal solvent - dissolves many compounds
Cohesive - attracted to other water molecules
Adhesion - attraction between different molecules
What is water.
