Ecology
The organisms in the first trophic level that can create their own energy; which serves as the base for energy transfer in ecosystems and food chains.
What are producers?
To avoid accidentally exposing your skin, hair, and eyes to dangerous substances, and to identify the specific dangers that materials pose.
What is the importance of understanding safety labels? (Baker, Fraser, 189)
Unmoving electricity generated through contact, friction, or induction which causes an imbalance between positive and negative charges on a surface.
What is static electricity?
The large natural satellite that orbits earth which has 'phases' caused by how sunlight hits it (these can be used to show a passage of time), and a gravitational pull that affects the size of tides on earth.
What is the moon?
A series of steps to help guide science related experiments in a more structured manner; Question-Research-Hypothesis-Experiment-Analyze Data-Conclusion
What is the scientific method?
A group of organisms that interbreed and have a role in their ecosystem, a set trophic level, a carrying capacity, and interspecific relationships with other groups.
What is a species?
Anything that has mass and takes up space, which therefore means it also has a density, can have both physical and chemical properties, and has four known states determined by the speed of the particles within.
What is matter?
A mathematical formula that allows us to determine the properties of a series or parallel circuit with minimal information required.
What is Ohm's law?
They were used to keep track of the passage of time, to locate directions, to predict weather, and helped shape human culture, myths, and beliefs.
What are reasons constellations were important in the past?
Enroll in a Research Affiliate Program related to the subject of your studies during post-secondary schooling.
What is a way you can gain experience in a science field without needing to have experience?
Diagrams that show the transfer of energy through consumption, which can also be used to determine the trophic level, diet category, and role of species in an ecosystem.
What are food chains, food webs, and energy pyramids?
These characteristics can be tested to measure the physical abilities and behaviour of a substance, which helps define and differentiate substances from one another.
What is the usage for physical and chemical properties?
Renewable electricity sources like hydroelectricity, solar power, and wind energy utilize renewable resources to generate electricity in a manner that does not create harmful greenhouse gasses the way that coal, oil, and fossil fuels do.
What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable electricity generation?
The elliptical movement of heavenly bodies around one another due to gravity causes seasons, visible moon phases, eclipses, and day and night to occur on earth.
What are ways orbits affect earth?
To help manage the environmental footprint of the agricultural industry and affordability of food while also creating solutions for supporting the high population growth.
What is the importance of agricultural science careers?
Pollution, deforestation, poaching, recycling, overconsumption, invasive species management, composting.
What are things humans do that negatively impact sustainability in ecosystems?
The smallest substance that cannot be broken down any further into another substance, which has only one type of particle and is composed of a nucleus with protons and neutrons, along with electrons that orbit the nucleus.
What is an atom?
Using appliances such as the dryer and dishwasher from 7pm - 7am, avoiding leaving devices plugged in overnight, and avoiding using appliances like the air conditioner from 11am - 5pm.
What are ways to reduce the cost of electricity usage at home?
Causes the formation of stars, shapes planets, forms solar systems, creates galaxies, causes the orbiting of moons, attracts comets, attracts meteoroids, and keeps matter connected to the earth's surface.
What is things that gravity does?
Creates solutions to medical, environmental, and industrial issues, fosters further technological development, expands human knowledge.
What are ways that science aids humanity?
A large area defined by its climate determined by factors such as precipitation and temperature; which also affect the productivity and biodiversity of the ecosystems within it.
What is a biome?
These electrons located on the outermost orbitals of atoms are able to move across atoms, which creates ions and therefore positive and negative charges, which causes the existence of static electricity.
What is the reason valence electrons are the most important electrons?
These systems help move electricity along a controlled path, which allows humans to properly convert electricity into other usable forms of energy in devices and machines.
What is the reason we use circuits?
A large heavenly body created through gravity pulling gasses such as hydrogen and helium into a spherical form, where nuclear fusion begins to occur and crates vast amounts of energy, heat, and light within it until the gasses within it run out, and it's core collapses.
What is a star?
Helps build interest in sciences early, creates a base for future learning, teaches children about the world they live in, helps foster learning skills development, can help make children more conscious of the ecosystem.
What is the importance of teaching science in primary and secondary schooling?
