scientific method
The first step in the scientific method, where you notice something in the natural world.
What is an observation?
The living and nonliving things in an area that interact with each other make up this level of organization.
What is an ecosystem?
In this type of relationship, both organisms benefit — like bees pollinating flowers.
What is mutualism?
This is the process by which organisms with traits best suited to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully.
What is natural selection?

CONNER
This is a testable prediction based on prior knowledge or research.
What is a hypothesis?
This is the maximum number of individuals that an environment can support without degrading the habitat.
What is the carrying capacity?
This happens when a population grows too quickly and exceeds the environment’s ability to support it.
What is overpopulation (or exceeding the carrying capacity)?
These are inherited traits that help an organism survive in its environment, such as thick fur in polar bears or long necks in giraffes.
What are adaptations?
when is our test date?
October 20th and/or 21st
The variable that the scientist changes on purpose during an experiment.
What is the independent variable?
This type of species spreads quickly and causes harm to the environment, economy, or human health.
What is an invasive species?
This type of species is brought by humans into a new ecosystem and may or may not cause harm, but when it spreads and damages the environment, it becomes this.
What is an invasive species
What is mimicry?
This occurs when one species evolves to look like another to gain protection or an advantage — for example, a harmless butterfly resembling a poisonous one.

This part of an experiment is kept the same across all trials to ensure a fair test.
What are the constants (or controlled variables)?
This term describes the role or job an organism has in its environment — including how it gets food and interacts with others.
What is a niche?
What is an ecological footprint?
This measures how much land, water, and resources are needed to support a person’s lifestyle — including food, energy, and waste.
What are homologous structures?
These are body parts that have a similar structure but different functions, such as a human arm, a whale flipper, and a bat wing. They show that species share a common ancestor.

A student wants to test if the amount of sunlight affects how tall bean plants grow. They place one group of plants in full sunlight and another in partial shade, watering both equally every day.
Question: Identify the independent variable and the dependent variable in this experiment.
Independent variable: Amount of sunlight
Dependent variable: Height (growth) of the bean plants
What is biodiversity?
This term describes the total variety of living organisms in an area — including plants, animals, and microorganisms.
What are the levels of organization?
(Organism → Population → Community → Ecosystem → Biome → Biosphere)
Which of the following is a principle of natural selection?
A) Organisms can choose to change their traits when needed.
B) All individuals in a population are genetically identical.
C) Individuals with beneficial traits are more likely to survive and reproduce.
D) Evolution only happens during mass extinction events.
What is C) Individuals with beneficial traits are more likely to survive and reproduce?
