Subsystems
Questions and Variables
Plant Circulation
Photosynthesis
Cellular Respiration
100
This system is responsible for filtering and removing liquid waste from our bodies.
The Excretory System
100
These must be measurable and lead to an investigation
A Scientific Question
100
This system of transportation in plants is responsible for bringing water up from the soil.
The Xylem
100
Photosynthesis occurs in this type of living thing. Hint: They’re usually green.
Plants
100
Cellular Respiration occurs within these tiny building blocks of life.
Cells
200
This system is responsible for bringing oxygen into our bodies and releasing carbon dioxide.
The Respiratory System
200
This is the general term for something that could be changed, or varied, in an experiment
A Variable
200
This system of transportation in plants is responsible for bringing food down from the leaves.
The Phloem
200
These three things are required for plants to conduct photosynthesis; they’re photosynthesis’ inputs.
Sunlight, Water, and Carbon Dioxide
200
In Cellular Respiration, this is broken down in order to create energy.
Glucose
300
This system is responsible for circulating blood through our bodies.
The Circulatory System
300
This variable is one that scientists choose to keep the same.
A Controlled Variable
300
These small openings in plants release oxygen and water.
The Stomata
300
This is what we call the product of photosynthesis. Plants will use this later to make energy for itself.
Glucose
300
These two things are required for cells to conduct cellular respiration; they’re the inputs of cellular respiration.
Oxygen and Glucose
400
This system is responsible for getting energy from the foods we eat every day.
The Digestive System
400
This variable is one that scientists observe; they do not directly control how it changes.
Dependent Variable
400
This is the process of releasing water and oxygen in plants.
Transpiration
400
This is the waste gas that results from photosynthesis.
Oxygen
400
These three things are produced as a result of cellular respiration.
Water, Carbon Dioxide, and Energy
500
This organ is responsible for filtering toxins from our bloodstream
The Kidney
500
This variable is one that scientists choose to change; they have direct control over it
An Independent Variable
500
Plants conduct photosynthesis in these green things located within the cells of their leaves
Clorophyll
