NATURE OF SCIENCE
What is an observation?
This macromolecule is composed of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. It is frequently broken down for quick energy.
What is a carbohydrate?
The Greek term for this word is HYDRO.
What is WATER?
This is the chemical formula for water.
What is H20?
________SPHERE, all the land and rocks of the Earth
What is GEOSPHERE?
This is what you MUST do if you find evidence contradictory to your current hypothesis.
What is revise/change your hypothesis (or assumptions or theory)?
These macromolecules have many structures and roles, including enzymes and other specialized cell functions.
What are proteins?
The Greek term for this word is ATMOS.
What is GAS?
Water is this, meaning it has an uneven electromagnetic charge.
What is polar?
_________SPHERE, all the ice, frozen water, and frozen ground on Earth
What is the CRYOSPHERE?
These are possible explanations you may have based on your own experiences as well as other observations.
What are inferences (or hypothesis)?
This shares some characteristics with a carbohydrate, but has a different structure, is nonpolar, and is found in the cell membrane.
What is a lipid?
The Greek term for this word is CRYO.
What is ICE?
Solid water (ice) is _______ dense than liquid water.
What is less (dense)?
________SPHERE, all the water on the Earth
What is the HYDROSPHERE?
In science, this is what we call a proposed explanation for a series of observations that is supported by a multitude of evidence across multiple domains, NOT "just an educated guess."
What is a Scientific Theory?
DNA and RNA are examples of this macromolecule.
What are Nucleic Acids?
The Greek term for this word is BIO.
What is LIFE?
What is very cold liquid water.
___________SPHERE, or all life on Earth
What is the BIOSPHERE?
This superficially resembles science, but in some way fails to adhere to the rigor we associate with standard science. They reject contradictory evidence or try to change evidence to suit their assumptions.
What is pseudoscience?
Macromolecules are also called _________-based molecules, because this element is resent in every macromolecule.
What is Carbon?
What is ROCK/LAND/EARTH?
Water does this upon freezing.
What is expand during freezing?
______SPHERE, or all of the gas that envelopes Earth.
What is the ATMOSPHERE?
