Science Intro
True or False: Science needs to repeatable.
True
True of False: Scientific Method is the only way to do science.
False
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
What Kingdom include multicellular eukaryotes that live all over the planet and consume food?
ANIMALS!!!
How many branches of study in the sciences can you name? (50 pt for each)

True or False? Correct if false: Meter is the SI unit for length.
TRUE
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.
False. Everything above Genus would also be the same!
True or False? Scientists ONLY use observation to gather data.
False. They can also experiment to obtain data.
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.
True or false? Correct if false: Hours is the SI unit for time.
False. Seconds is the SI unit for time.

Decomposers (Organisms that break down other living things) are from which kingdom?
FUNGI!!!
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)
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.
Why are Units important in science?
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...
What Kingdom of organisms are "OLD"
and only live in extreme environments like volcanoes & deep sea? (+50 for perfect spelling)
Archaeabacteria.
What is the system of naming called in Taxonomy? BONUS: what do you include in the scientific name?
BINOMIAL Naming.
BONUS: Genus + Species.
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.
What are SI Units?
International System of Units, the modern form of the metric system & most widely used system of measurement worldwide for science.
(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
Name the 6 Kingdoms of living things.
Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Eubacteria, Archaea, Protists.
