Lab Safety
This type of variable must be kept the same throughout an experiment to ensure results are valid.
What is a controlled variable?
This gas is produced when a metal reacts with an acid.
What is hydrogen?
This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed or transferred.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
This term describes a group of organisms of the same species living in the same area.
What is a population?
These are the major sections of Earth's crust that move on the asthenosphere.
What are tectonic plates?
This is the largest organ in the human body.
What is the skin?
This term describes the repeatability of results when the same method is used under the same conditions.
What is reliability?
This type of reaction absorbs energy from the surroundings, causing a temperature decrease.
What is an endothermic reaction?
This type of energy transfer occurs by electromagnetic waves and does not require matter.
What is radiation?
This process maintains a stable internal environment in living organisms.
What is homeostasis?
This boundary forms when two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally.
What is a transform boundary?
This famous equation describes the relationship between mass and energy.
What is E = mc²?
This lab item is used to accurately measure specific volumes of liquids, making it more precise than a measuring cylinder.
What is a pipette (or burette)?
This part of the atom determines how an element reacts and forms chemical bonds.
What are the valence electrons?
This quantity measures how fast velocity changes over time.
What is acceleration?
This type of relationship benefits one organism while the other is harmed.
What is parasitism?
This enhanced version of the natural greenhouse effect is linked to human activity.
What is global warming?
This number is the smallest prime number that is also even.
What is 2?
This must be done before drawing conclusions to ensure data points that don’t fit the pattern aren’t caused by mistakes.
What is identifying anomalies/outliers?
This chemical equation feature shows that the number of atoms on each side must be equal.
What is the law of conservation of mass?
This is the total resistance in a series circuit when three resistors are connected one after the other.
What is the sum of all resistances?
This term describes the maximum number of organisms an environment can sustainably support.
What is carrying capacity?
This term describes the rising and sinking movement of heated material inside Earth’s mantle.
What are convection currents?
This country has the largest population in the world.
What is India?
This safety rule explains why students should tie up long hair and remove scarves when using a Bunsen burner.
What is preventing ignition from open flame?
This type of reaction occurs when two clear solutions form a solid product that appears cloudy.
What is a precipitation reaction?
This force acts opposite to motion in fluids such as air or water.
What is drag?
This cycle describes how carbon moves between the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere.
What is the carbon cycle?
This large-scale oceanic process redistributes heat energy across the globe, strongly influencing climate.
What is thermohaline circulation?
This scientific process involves developing a testable explanation and designing a method to investigate it.
What is forming a hypothesis / scientific inquiry?
