Scientific Method
This is the process scientists use to objectively establish facts through testing and experimentation.
What is the Scientific Method?
When handling sharp objects in the lab, this is the direction in which direction should you be cutting.
What is: Down + Away from your body
This is step #4 of the Scientific Method.
What is Experiment?
This is the process of consuming and using energy.
What is Metabolism?
Is fire dead or alive? Must provide at least 2 reasons why or why not.
Dead - it lacks metabolism, is not made of cells, cannot reproduce, cannot maintain homeostasis
This step of the scientific method must be both testable and falsifiable.
What is the hypothesis?
This is the location where broken glassware should be carefully disposed of.
What is the broken glassware container (cardboard box)?
These are the factors in the experimental & control groups that need to stay the same.
What are Constants?
This is the change in a species over several generations of time.
What is Evolution?
Alive: they are made of cells, they can reproduce, they can maintain homeostasis, they have a metabolism, they can grow, they can evolve, and they respond to stimuli.
This step of the scientific method is considered to be a feedback step.
What is Conclusion?
These are a form of personal protection equipment that are designed to protect your pupils, retinas, irises, and scleras.
What are safety goggles?
This is the group that is used as a standard for comparison.
What is Control Group?
This characteristic of life requires that organisms be composed of one or more cells.
What is Cellular Organization?
This is the term used to describe organisms that must be "activated" before they are considered to be "alive".
BONUS 50 points: Provide an example.
What is Dormant?
This is the term used to describe the cyclical nature of the scientific method.
What is iteration?
This is the method used to safely smell laboratory substances.
What is wafting?
This is what the scientist changes in order to test the hypothesis.
What is Independent Variable?
This is known as the body's maintenance of a stable internal environment.
BONUS 50 points: Provide an example.
What is Homeostasis?
Examples: Sweating, shivers, etc.
This is the term used to describe all living things.
What is Organism?
These are the 6 steps of the scientific method, in order.
What are; Observation, Question, Hypothesis, Experiment, Analysis, and Conclusion?
These are the 3 main routes of infection, which is why hand-washing is crucial.
What are the eyes, nose, and mouth?
This is also known as what a scientist measures in an experiment.
What is Dependent Variable?
These are the 7 characteristics of life, as described by MR.H CREG.
What are; Metabolism, Reproduction, Homeostasis, Cellular Organization, Response to Environment/Stimuli, and Growth & Development?
Are viruses dead or alive? Must describe why/why not.
Viruses are considered to be dead. They lack metabolism and are not made of cells (they are made of proteins!).
