Science Tools
These protect your eyes when doing science experiments.
What are safety goggles?
This is the "powerhouse" of the cell.
What is mitochondria?
Interphase, prophase, metaphase are all stages of this process.
What is the cell cycle?
Where do plants get their energy from?
What is the sun?
Your kidneys, heart, brain and skin.
What is an organ?
This instrument measures temperature.
What is a thermometer?
This thin, flexible barrier surrounds a cell and controls which substances pass into and out of a cell.
What is the cell membrane?
Obtaining energy, bringing in nutrients and water, and getting rid of waste are three functions of this important part of an organism.
What is a cell?
These are organisms that are able to make their own food.
What are autotrophs/producers?
Fights infections, attacks invading bacteria and viruses.
What is the immune system?
This scientific instrument makes small objects look larger.
What is a microscope?
One of largest organelles in the cell, this acts as the control center of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
Maintaining a stable internal temperature to stay alive.
What is homeostasis?
This is an organism that cannot make their own food.
What is a heterotroph/consumer?
Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and water are the six important examples of what our bodies need.
What are nutrients?
This instrument is used to make far away objects look closer.
What is a telescope?
What is the cell wall.
This is an organism that cannot live on their own. They need a host to live in or on to get food and energy.
What is a parasite?
Carbon dioxide, water and sunlight are all factors required for this chemical reaction in plants.
What is photosynthesis?
This organ system brings in oxygen needed by cells and removes carbon dioxide from the body.
What is the respiratory system?
This is an object that produces a magnetic field, which is an invisible force that can attract or repel certain metals.
What is a magnet.
This gel-like fluid fills the inside of a cell.
The folds inside of this organelle increase surface area for more chemical reactions, producing more energy.
What is mitochondria?
These are found only in plant cells and they capture sunlight to convert to energy.
What is a chloroplast?
What is a stimuli/stimulus?
