Scientific Method
This is the first step of the scientific method, where you identify a problem you want to solve.
What is Ask a Question?
This is the general format that a hypothesis should be written.
What is a "If___ then___" statement?
How many characteristics of life are there?
What is 8?
What is Metabolism?
When a species changes over time by adapting to their environment due to natural selection.
What is evolution?
This educated guess based on research or prior knowledge, predicts the outcome of an experiment
What is a hypothesis?
This is the group within your experiment that is left alone to be used as a comparison.
What is your Control Group?
This is the smallest unit of life.
What is the Cell?
When an organism over time changes shape and structure.
What is Development?
When an organism maintains internal balance in order to regulate its processes.
What is Homeostasis?
The third step in the scientific method, where you design and carry out a procedure to test your hypothesis.
What is Experiment?
This is the one variable that the scientist changes on purpose to see its effect.
What is an Independent Variable?
What is an organism comprised of more than one cell?
Example:____________
The term used to define when plants take in sunlight in order to create energy.
What is Photosynthesis?
Give an example of Homeostasis.
_________________________
The final step, where you summarize your findings and state whether your data supported your hypothesis.
What is Draw a Conclusion?
This is the group within an experiment that the independent variable effects.
What is the Experimental Group?
This is the molecule that contains the genetic instructions used by living things.
What is DNA?
A signal within an environment causing an organism to react.
What is a Stimulus?
When an organism overtime changes in structure, behavior, or internal process in order to be better suited for its environment.
What is Adaptation?
In this step, you record your observations and look for patterns in your data, often using charts and graphs.
What is Analyze your Data?
What is the Dependent Variable?
Define asexual reproduction and give an example.
What is when reproduction happens with a single parent?
Example:______
The idea that cells within in organism are different in structure due to their function.
What is Differentiation?
What must all organisms due over time to better survive and carry out their genetics?
What is Evolve?
