Science Sleuths
You see it, but you don’t explain it. What’s this kind of data called?"
Observation
Negatively charged and always on the move — what subatomic star are we talking about?
Electron
When water hugs itself, what’s that sticky behavior called?
Cohesion
The boss of the cell, keeper of the DNA blueprints — who’s in charge?
Nucleus
Molecules just chillin’, moving from high to low concentration — what process is that?
Diffusion
You make an educated guess before an experiment — what’s that called?
Hypothesis
Two atoms share their toys instead of stealing them, you might say they shook on it — what bond did they make?
Covalent bond
When water climbs walls to help plants drink, what’s the name of that move?
Adhesion
The “powerhouse” of the cell keeps things running — who are they? Daily double for knowing the molecules they consume and create.
Mitochondrion
Consume - glucose
Create - ATP
When only water gets to pass through the door — what’s that called?
Osmosis
The “I changed it on purpose” part of an experiment — name that variable!"
Independent Variable
One atom steals an electron and runs. The strongest bond. What kind of bond is that?
Ionic bond
Sour face! A pH under 7 means your solution is what?
Acid
The cell’s packaging and shipping center — name that organelle!
Golgi apparatus
Need ATP to move against the flow? What kind of transport?
Active transport
You’re making sense of what you saw — what’s the fancy science word for that?
Inference
Tiny but mighty, everything’s built from me — what am I?
Atom
Slippery soap and drain cleaner share this basic trait — what’s it called?
Base
Solar panels of the cell world — what organelle soaks up the sun?
Chloroplast
The cell membrane’s main material — two words: what & what?"
Phospholipid bilayer
Why can’t other scientists accept your claim if they can’t repeat your results?
Not reliable / not reproducible
Explain why water is like a molecule with “split personalities."
Polar
Explain why water is the ultimate “Universal solvent”
Polarity allows it to dissolve many substances
Explain why eukaryotic cells can multitask better than prokaryotes.
Organelles specialize → higher efficiency
Better organized DNA
Explain how the cell membrane keeps everything balanced, like a bouncer at the door.
Selective permeability
Maintains homeostasis
