Nature of Science
A well-supported explanation about the natural world.
What is scientific theory?
During this type of severe weather, which involves violently spinning columns of air, you should go to a place without windows, and stay away from flying objects by covering your head and neck with your arms and hands.
What is a tornado?
This is the smallest unit of life.
What is a cell?
This is a push or a pull.
What is a force?
This is the science of describing, classifying, and naming living things, and includes the following 8 categories: 1Domain, 2Kingdom, 3Phylum, 4Class, 5Order, 6Family, 7Genus, 8Species
What is taxonomy?
What is evidence?
During this type of severe weather, which involves a low-pressure system with thunderstorms and winds that circle around a central "eye", you should listen to weather reports for storm updates, secure loose objects outside, and stay indoors away from windows.
What is a hurricane?
This theory states the following: 1All organisms are made up of one or more cells; 2The cell is the basic unit of all organisms; 3All cells come from existing cells.
What is Cell Theory?
This is a force that happens when an object moves while touching another object, causing its motion to slow down.
What is friction?
This organ system is a group of organs and tissues that collect the fluid that leaks from blood and returns it to the blood.
What is the lymphatic system?
Defining a problem, forming a hypothesis & making predictions, planning an investigation, identifying variables, collecting/organizing data, interpreting data, and defending conclusions.
What is the scientific method?
During this type of severe weather, which includes high levels of water that can damage homes and vehicles, you should seek shelter by moving to higher ground or evacuating the area.
What is a flood?
This body system breaks down food to be used as energy.
What is the Digestive System?
This is speed in a specific direction.
What is velocity?
This is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria make their own food, using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.
What is photosynthesis?
All scientific experiments must be able to be this, meaning they can be repeated by other scientists to prove accuracy.
What is replicated?
During this time of day, the sun's rays would hit the Earth most directly, causing the highest chance for UV radiation. (HINT: it's a range of time)
What is between 10 A.M. and 4 P.M.?
What is the Excretory and Urinary System?
To find this, you use the following equation:
(final velocity - starting velocity) / time
What is average acceleration?
These are the four Kingdoms within the Domain Eukarya.
What is Protista, Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia?
This is the branch of science that studies Earth, from the materials that make it up to the processes that shape it.
What is Geology?
This type of severe weather is defined as an intense local storm that forms strong winds, heavy rain, lightning, thunder, and sometimes hail.
What is a thunderstorm?
These TWO body systems work together to transport oxygen throughout the body and remove carbon dioxide.
What is the respiratory and circulatory system?
This type of energy is the combination of kinetic energy and potential energy due to position.
What is mechanical energy?
These are the three major climate zones.
What is temperate, polar, and tropical?
