True of False: Scientific Method is the only way to do science.

False

100

1 mL = ____ L

0.001 L

True of False: Taxonomy is the study of dead animals to prepare to preserve them as place them in museums.

That's Taxidermy! Taxonomy is the science of naming, classifying, and describing living organisms into a hierarchical system based on shared characteristics

100

What Kingdom include multicellular eukaryotes that live all over the planet and consume food? 

ANIMALS!!!

200

How many branches of study in the sciences can you name? (50 pt for each)

Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Sciences, Biochemistry, Biomedical Sciences, Engineering, Astronomy, Biophysics, etc...

2. Experimentation 

3. Data Analysis

4. Repeat

5. Conclusion

6. Hypothesis

True or False? Correct if false: Meter is the SI unit for length.

TRUE

200

Is the Rania lybica is very similar to Felis lybica. Why or why not?

It is not similar because the Genus names are completely different. 

200
True or False: Organisms that have the same Genus MUST only has the same family, order, and class, but have different phylum and Kingdom.

False. Everything above Genus would also be the same!

300

True or False? Scientists ONLY use observation to gather data.

False. They can also experiment to obtain data. 

300

What is the scientific Method?

a. A scientific way to design a graph. 

b. A process used by scientists to explore observations and answer questions.

c. The study of dinosaurs digesting their food. 

d. A list of materials for a science experiment. 

e. A method for designing a product to sell

b. A process used by scientists to explore observations and answer questions.

300

True or false? Correct if false: Hours is the SI unit for time. 

False. Seconds is the SI unit for time.

300

Decomposers (Organisms that break down other living things) are from which kingdom? 

FUNGI!!!

400

Secret WAGER Round!!!! (WAGER as many points as you have, if you get it correct, you get that many points, if you get it incorrect, you lose that many points)


Category: Plants 

What is the vocabulary word that describes how plants obtain energy/receive nutrition? (HINT, 9 letters, starts with A)

400

True or False: An experiment is successful when new information is learned, even if the original hypothesis is not supported by the results of the experiment.

FALSE!! Science is not always about finding out new things. It can be simply confirming an observation.

400

Why are Units important in science?

Specific units in science allow for COMPARISON between the known unit and unknown quantity that is being measured. It reduces CONFUSION! It gives CONTEXT for measurements. 
400

What current animal has dinosaurs as their ancestor (as in dinosaurs eventually evolved to this animal).

A chicken (or generally birds)...can you believe it? Based on skeletal structures, proteins, and genetics... 

400

What Kingdom of organisms are "OLD"
 and only live in extreme environments like volcanoes & deep sea? (+50 for perfect spelling)

Archaeabacteria.

500

What is the system of naming called in Taxonomy? BONUS: what do you include in the scientific name?

BINOMIAL Naming.

BONUS: Genus + Species.

500

Why are there differences in the number of droplets of water that fit on our pennies during Lab? List at least 2 reasons.

Not exactly the same penny, possibly different amounts of water in each droplet, incorrect counting, and more.

500

What are SI Units?

International System of Units, the modern form of the metric system & most widely used system of measurement worldwide for science.

500
What is the Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species of a RED FOX. BONUS 100: What is their scientific name with correct notation (+50 only for incorrect notation)


(You can use Google or Wikipedia for this, the fastest & correct will get 500, second, 300, last 100).

Animalia, Chordate, Mammalia, Carnivora, Canidae, Vulpes, Vulpes. 

Scientific name: Vulpes vulpes or Vulpes vulpes
