Scientific Method
Process used by scientists to solve problems
What is the scientific method?
Gives a visual representation of data and they are much quicker and easier to grasp than a boring stack of numbers
What is a graph?
Study of life
What is Biology?
Difference between observation and inference
What is an observation is using your senses to notice something and an inference is a conclusion based on evidence?
Type of graph used to show the average density of different rocks
What is a bar graph?
True or False. We never use the word prove when we are talking about personal experiments that we have done.
What is true?
Most commonly use graph that is used to show continuous data over time
What is a line graph?
Difference between biotic and abiotic factors
What is biotic are living and abiotic are nonliving?
Difference between Quantitative and Qualitative data
What is Quantitative is number while Qualitative is descriptions?
Type of graph used to show individual scores on a test vs. GPA
What is a scatterplot?
Reasons why the scientific method is important
What is that it is a known method to test a hypothesis (etc. answers may vary)?
Graph used to represent portions of a whole
What is a pie graph?
Difference between eukaryotes and prokaryotes
What is eukaryotes DNA is contained in a nucleus and Prokaryotes DNA is not contained in a nucleus?
Difference between hypothesis and theory
What is a hypothesis is what you think will happen in an experiment and a theory is a generally excepted concept that has been proven repeatedly through observations and experiments?
Difference between sexual and asexual reproduction
What is Sexual requires 2 parents and combines their DNA, while asexual has 1 parent and makes a copy of itself?
True or False. The Scientific method can only be completed in one way you can't go back to edit and retest the same problem.
What is False?
Graph used when there are a small number of categories and is often used with nonconsecutive data points
What is a bar graph?
Levels of cellular organization from smallest to largest
What is cell, tissue, organ, organ system, and organism?
Difference between Independent and dependent variables
What is the independent variable is the one we manipulate and the dependent is measured in response to the independent variable?
Difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs
What is an autotroph makes its own food and a heterotroph consumes food to get energy?
List the steps of the scientific method
What is observation, think of a problem, hypothesis, design and conduct experiment, collect data/results, draw conclusions and revisit hypothesis?
Graph used o show how variables can be affected by each other, they are not connected
What is a scatterplot?
Requirements of an organism to be alive. (There are 8)
What is all things are made of cells, DNA is their genetic makeup, must be able to reproduce, Pass on traits to offspring, Respond to stimuli, ability to grow and develop, Need energy and Must be able to maintain homeostasis?
Difference between experimental and control group
What is the experimental group get the independent variable and the control does NOT get the control it is used for comparison?
Parts of a graph that have to be on every graph made
What is a Title, axis labels, Units on axis, Use the entire graph, plot points and it needs to be to scale?
