Scientific Method
A testable, reasonable explanation for a natural phenomenon
Biology is the study of this.
What is Life
Dear King Philip Came Over for Good Spaghetti.
What is the acronym for Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species?
The variable that is changed in an experiment.
What is the independent variable?
The smallest particle of all matter.
What is the atom?
I have lost my sunglasses, ask myself questions, experiment with where they might be, and conclude that they were not lost, I just misplaced them. This is a process that I do nearly everyday. But in Science it is called this:
What is the scientific method?
The basic unit of life.
Eukaryota, Bacteria, Archea
What are the Domains of life?
This is a description of observations that contains physical descriptions such as texture, color, or behavior.
What is qualitative data?
The level that comes after Organelles (getting larger).
What is the cell?
This an experiment where there is a control and a variable that is changed, the experimental group.
What is a controlled experiment?
Order, Growth and Development, Reproduction, Irritibility, Regulation, Energy Processing, Adaptation
What are the characteristics of life?
The Domain Eukaryota contains this many Kingdoms.
What are 4 Kingdoms?
They are plantae, animalia, fungi, and protists.
This responds or is affected by what happens when factors change in an experiment.
What is the dependent variable?
A group of organs make up an _________.
This is often represented by a graph or a table that tells a story about the experiment.
What is data?
What is irritibility?
True or False: The hierarchical order of Life is broadest (most number of species) at the species level.
False! Domain has the broadest, then Kingdom, then Phylum, then Class, then Order, then Family, then Genus, then Species.
The normal variable that is not experimented on and used for comparison.
What is the control group.
Population is larger than community. True or False.
False.
After performing an experiment, 1.) physical characteristics are observed and 2.) data is recorded in the form of measurements or other numbers. These are called, in order:
What are Qualitative and Quantitative observations?
The diversity and grouping of living things in a hierarchical manner.
What is taxonomy?
The Domain Archaea consists of prokaryotes that mostly live here.
What are extreme environmental conditions such as boiling hot springs or salty lakes?
An experiment is performed to prove or disprove this:
What is a hypothesis?
List the following terms in order of smallest to largest:
Cell, Ecosystem, Community, Tissues, Organ Systems, population, organism
Cell, Tissues, Organ Systems, Organism, Population, Community, Ecosystem
