100
This is an organized way of using evidence to learn about the natural world
What is Science
100
This is the idea that life can arise from non-living things
What is spontaneous generation
100
This is the science that seeks to understand the living world
What is Biology
100
This is a decimal system of measurement whose units are based on certain physical standards, and are scaled on multiples of ten
What is the metric system
100
This variable is always graphed on the Y axis
What is the Dependent Variable
200
this is the process of gathering information about events or processes in a careful orderly way
What is an observation
200
This is when a hypothesis is tested by an experiment where only one variable is changed at a time.
What is a controlled experiment
200
These are small self contained units that make up all living things
What are cells
200
This microscope makes it possible to study dead organisms and their parts, and to observe some tiny organisms and cells
What is a compound light microscope
200
This scientist used jars of meat with different covers to determine that flies could not spontaneously generate
Who is Redi
300
This is the information gathered from observations
What is data
300
This is the variable that the experimenter changes or allows to change
What is the independent variable
300
This is a combination of chemical reactions that through which an organism builds up, or breaks down materials, as it carrier on life processes.
What is metabolism
300
This is a microscope that can measure objects smaller than 0.2 micrometers
What is an electron microscope
300
This scientist used sterile broth in two different types of flasks to disprove spontaneous generation
Who is Pasteur
400
This is a proposed scientific explanation for a set of observations
What is a hypothesis
400
This is the variable that is being measured as an outcome, as a result of the changes made by the experimenter
What is a dependent variable
400
This is a signal to which an organism responds.
What is a stimulus
400
This is when a single cell is placed in a dish containing a nutrient solution and allowed to divide continuously, producing a group of cells
What is a cell culture
400
This is the most inclusive level of biological organization
What is the biosphere
500
This is a logical interpretation based on prior knowledge or experience
What is an inference
500
This is a well tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations
What is a theory
500
This is the process by which living things keep internal conditions, such as temperature and water content, relatively constant over time
What is homeostasis
500
This is a technique used to separate cell parts with a blender and a centrifuge
What is cell fractionation
500
These are three examples of characteristics of living things
