56
A condition of having dangerously low body heat
The first step in the scientific inquiry
Make observation
What is another name for a model
Prototype
What is the purpose of repeating an experiment?
To check for consistent, reliable results or check if things stay the same

Not living or lacking or being without life
One way to test a hypothesis
Make a model
design an experiment
Gather and evaluate evidence

Forming a hypothesis or step 3 OR 4
If each square represents 11 ft and the model drawing of the building is 11 squares high, what is the HEIGHT of the actual of the building?
121 ft
the study of the skin and its diseases
A scientist's results do not support their hypothesis. What should they do?
Still Report actual results and draw a conclusion
Why do engineers create sketches or blueprints before building?
to plan and communicate the design
A student tests whether cocoa powder can reveal fingerprints. Why is it important to follow the same procedure each time?
To keep the experiment fair and make the results reliable.
A classroom is 5 squares long and 4 squares wide. What are its actual dimensions if each square represents 8 ft?

width/wideness= 32 ft
• Prefix: endo- (inside or internal)
• Root: skele- / skeleton (hard framework of the body)
An internal skeleton or hard framework inside the body
What must be true about a hypothesis?
Must be testable.
You dont know if it supported, unless you test it

Identify the problem, improve the design, and retest
