If you make observations and then ask questions, you are behaving like a _________ _________.
Life Scientist

An explanation that ties together many hypotheses and observations - tells WHY it happens.
Theory
100
A pattern, plan, representation, or description designed to show how the structure or workings of an object, system, or concept.
Model
100
My hypothesis "if my a peer edits my lab report rough draft then I'll earn a higher grade on my final draft" is supported. The data shows that having a peer edit my rough draft increases my final draft grade by an average of 15%.
Draw Conclusions
100
45.2 mL = _____ dL
0.452 dL
200
Name a way in which life science benefits us?
Cures for diseases, figuring out inheritance of disorders, environmental/habitat protection.
200
An explanation based on observation or scientific research that can be tested.
Hypothesis
200
Has a tube with a lens, a stage, and a light and is used to magnify small objects.
Compound Light Microscope
200
1) Write a lab report and print two copies. 2) Give one copy to Mr. Kolifrath to grade. Give the other copy to John to edit. 3) Rewrite the report by making changes based on John's comments. 4) Give the new report to Mrs. Oxholm to grade. 5) Compare grades.
Test Hypothesis or Perform an Experiment
200
99000 kg = _____ g
99,000,000 g
300
Why are models useful in life science?
Models let us study things that we otherwise could not (extinct organisms, very small/large things, computing/predicting scenarios or outcomes, etc.)
300
A summary of many experimental results and observations - tells WHAT happens.
Law
300
Steps used by scientists to answer questions or solve problems.
The Scientific Method
300
If a peer edits my rough draft, then I will earn a higher score on my final lab report.
Form a Hypothesis
300
21.2 cm = _____ mm
212 mm
400
What kind of people can be life scientists?
ANYONE!
400
Evolution, General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, etc.
Theory
400
Focuses a beam of electrons to magnify VERY tiny objects.
Electron Microscope
400
A lab report, presentation, or published journal article.
Communicate Results
400
100 Kolifraths = ____ km, 2000 m = 1 Kolifraths
200 km
500
System of units based on factors of 10.
Metric System or SI
500
If a peer edits my rough draft, then I will earn a higher score on my final lab report
Hypothesis
500
An experiment that tests only one factor at a time by comparing a control group to experimental group(s).
BONUS: What's the difference between a factor and a variable?
Controlled Experiment!
Factor - anything that can affect the outcome of an experiment.
Variable - the one factor you change in a controlled experiment.
500
Does peer editing affect my final lab report grade?
Ask A Question
500

SI: Meters, Kilograms, Liters, and degrees Celsius.
Metric: Meters, Grams, Liters, and Kelvin.
