This is the diverse ways in which scientist investigate the natural world and propose explanations base on the evidence they gather.
What is scientific inquiry?
100
Using your senses to gather information.
What is observing?
100
The study of living things.
What is Life Science/biology?
100
The variable that stays the same throughout the experiment and you compare results to.
What is the control?
100
Working together to meet the needs of the organism.
What is complementary?
200
This is developed after you pose a question.
What is a hypothesis?
200
Observations that describes and does not use numbers.
What is a qualitative observation?
200
A living thing.
What is an organism?
200
The variable that responds or changes because of the manipulated variable.
What is the responding variable?
200
The process of change that causes an organism to be more complex during its lifetime.
What is development?
300
This is sharing your ideas and results to the rest of the scientific community.
What is communicating?
300
Explaining or reasoning what you have observed by using what you already know.
What is inferring?
300
Groups of organisms change over time.
What is evolution?
300
An experiment in which only one variable is changed at a time.
What is a controlled experiment?
300
Organisms are diverse, yet share similar characteristics. Explain.
What is living things come in many forms but have many basic things in common to survive?
400
The variable you purposely change in an experiment.
What is a manipulated variable?
400
Grouping things that are alike.
What is classifying?
400
The way an organism is put together as a whole.
What is structure?
400
A statement that describes how to measure a variable or define a term.
What is an operational definition?
400
All organisms are made up of these tiny building blocks.
What is a cell?
500
The six parts of the Scientific Inquiry.
What is posing a question, developing a hypothesis, designing an experiment, collecting and interpreting data, drawing conclusions, and communicating your results and ideas?
500
The five skills scientists use to study the natural world.
What is observing, inferring, predicting, classifying, and making models?
500
The processes that enable an organism to survive.
What is function?
500
The six parts of the Scientific Inquiry.
What is posing a question, developing a hypothesis, designing an experiment, collecting and interpreting data, drawing conclusions, and communicating results and ideas?
500
The five things all organisms have in common.
