Nature of Science
Explanation based on evidence that is NOT directly observed.
Inference
Male part of the flower
Stamen
Low Pressure, stratus clouds, high humidity
Lousy Weather
Definite shape and volume
Solid
Animals that do not have a backbone but sometimes have an exoskeleton
Invertebrate
A belief that cannot be verified through measurements or data
Opinion
Female part of the flower
Pistil
Warm, can be wet or dry found near the equator, the hottest place on Earth
Tropical Climate Zone
Rusting, decaying or plant and animal matter, burning
Chemical Change
Consumers that eat other plants and animals
Omnivore
What does the data support, what evidence does the investigation suggest
Conclusion
The movement, spreading or transport of of seeds through wind, water, animals and gravity.
Seed dispersal
Form of water (hail, sleet, snow, rain) that condenses in the atmosphere and falls to Earth's surface
Precipitation
The distance of an object travels in a unit of time
Speed
Filters harmful waste from the blood, regulates the amount of water in the body, and sends urine to the bladder
Kidneys
Using reliable sources of information and/ or prior investigations to build understanding
Research
Feathers, hard shell eggs, lungs, wings/fly, warm blooded
Birds
The process that rocks, soil, and other earth materials are MOVED from one place to another by wind, gravity, water, and ice.
Erosion
Heat flows from a warmer object to a ________ object,
Colder
Provides structure to the body, similar to the stem of a plant
Skeleton
A group in a scientific experiment that serves as a reference for comparison, the group that remains unchanged
Control Group
Largest organ on the body whose function is to protect, similar to the bark of a tree
Skin
Measures the wind speed
Anemometer
Rubbing two surfaces together, causes heat, and slowing something down.
Friction
The motion of an object around another
Revolution
