There are 3.45mls in a beaker of acid. This is an example of:

Quantitative data

100

First step to the scientific method:

To observe

100

The process by which organisms make more of their own kind.

Reproduction

100

In an experiment, this is the factor you measure to see if it changes.

Dependent variable

100

All living things are made of these tiny building blocks.

Cells

200

There are black stripes on the zebras. This is an example of:

Qualitative data. 
200

Second step to the scientific method: 

Form a hypothesis

200

This characteristic means organisms respond to changes in their environment.

Response to stimuli

200

A well-tested explanation supported by evidence, not just a guess

Theory

200

Orderly, direct information fathering about a phenomenon.

Observation.

300

Nine students are above 5 foot tall. This is an example of:

Quantitative data. 

300

Third step of the scientific method:

Perform experiment

300

Living things must maintain a stable internal environment, a process known as this.

Homeostasis

300

The high level of order living things show, from cells to ecosystems.

Organization

300

A testable explanation

Hypothesis. 

400

Qualitative data is the data that:

Describes the physical characteristics of something. 

400

4th Step to the scientific method:

Analyze data

400

Over long periods of time, populations of living things change through this process.

Evolution

400

The group in an experiment that does not receive the independent variable, used for comparison.

The control group

400

How many variables can you change in an experiment. 

Only one at a time. 

500

Quantitative data is data that:

Describes the numerical data of something. 

500

5th Step of scientific method:

Conclude experiment. 

500

A caterpillar becoming a butterfly is an example of this characteristic.

Growth and development

500

Factors in an experiment that are kept the same so they don’t affect results.

Constants. 

500
What is the difference between response and adaptation?



Response = immediate, individual

Adaptation = gradual, across generations
