What are some tools of Scientists?
Nature of Science/Nature of Scientists
How has our population changed over time?
What variables can help identify a populations standard of living?
How is the growth of the human population impacting the Earth?
100
Logical hypothesis that is repeatedly tested to be correct, explains a variety of natural phenomenon, and leads to new knowledge.
What is a theory.
100
A body of knowledge and a process used to explain natural phenomenon.
What is Science?
100
How our population has grown over the past hundreds of years.
What is exponentially?
100
The relation ship between two variables on a graph.
What is correlation?
100
The impact you make on the Earth.
What is your ecological footprint?
200
Use to prove theories correct when an experiment can not be done.
What is a model?
200
What makes something science?
It is based on data and evidence,logical, explains natural phenomenon, and is used to learn more.
200
Survivorship, fertility rate, age structure, migration
What are the 4 properties that scientists use to predict population sizes?
200
Industrialized regions with high literacy rate, low infant mortality, higher average income, and slow population growth.
What is a developed region? Examples:North America and Europe
200
Developed Countries have this big problem.
What is over-consumption?
300
The one thing that changes in an experiment.
What is an independent variable.
300
What is the importance of curiosity, creativity, and collaboration in science?
Curiosity and creativity fuels new ideas. These new ideas want to be tested. When tested even if wrong scientists share their ideas with other scientists to further their discoveries and data.
300
Three eras of human in order.
What are hunters and gatherers, agriculturalists, and industrialists?
300
A less industrialized region with fast population growth, high infant mortality rate, low average income, and low literacy rate.
What is a developing region? Examples: Africa,Asia
300
Developing countries have this problem.
What is over-population?
400
Used to show data clearly.
What is a graph?
400
Is science always a step by step process?
No, actually it usually never is. Science will go back and forth and back and forth through steps and sometimes start all over with new ideas and discoveries.
400
1. The distribution of ages in a specific population size. 2. The percentage of members of a group that are likely to survive at any given age.
What is 1. Age structure 2.Survivorship
400
The region with the highest consumption rates per capita.
What is North America?
400
The study of (mainly human) population.
What is demography
500
The thing(s) that get affected in an experiment.
What is a dependent variable.
500
The biggest part of science.
What are theories.
500
1.The number of children born per every 1,000 women. 2. when a person or group of people moves from one place to another.
What is 1.fertility rate 2.migration
500
The region that has little to no doubling time.
What is Europe?
500
The four stages of transition.
Stage 1-pre-industrial with high birth and death rates and a stable population size Stage 2-Population explosion death rate went down but there was still a high birth rate. Stage 3- Birth rate lowers and population grows slow Stage 4- Birth rate drops below death rate and population begins to decline
