Science and the Scientific Method
This is a testable explanation to a question or problem.
hypothesis
This is the variable that is the main subject of the experiment. It is what the scientist is investigating.
independent variable
this prefix means inside =
this prefix means outside =
inside = endo
exo = outside
Triple points
Most of the _______ that humans rely on, such as cars, computers, electric lights and medicines are the product of taking different things learned through the process of ______ and then making something based on that learning.
technology,
science
This word refers to the repeating of something in order to make more versions that are better and better. Scientists do this all the time in different ways.
iterate
This group is used as a source of comparison in an experiment.
control group
this suffix means to burst or break
lysis
How many variables should be tested in a single experiment at one time?
one variable
Double points
When collecting observations or gathering evidence from experiments, the more ______ that is collected, the better the observation or experiment is likely to be.
data/evidence
These variables must be kept the same between the experimental and control groups in an experiment so that they don't affect the results.
controlled variables
the fluid inside of a cell is its ___________
cytoplasm
Name something that has been iterated.
The process of doing science usually begins with two things. What are they?
an observation
a question/problem
The group in an experiment that gets the independent variable.
experimental group
write the vocabulary word that means a molecule made of two sugar molecules
disaccharide
Double points
The process of science is usually not a ______ process that follows a straightforward series of steps, but rather an ______ process that keeps repeating and bouncing around between different steps.
The process of science is usually not a linear process that follows a straightforward series of steps, but rather an iterative process that keeps repeating and bouncing around between different steps.
Science is both a ___________ for doing structured problem-solving, and a collection of ___________.
process/method, knowledge/information
dependent variable
cyto =
poly =
aero =
chloro =
cyto = cell
poly = many
aero = oxygen
chloro = green
