What do we call a sickness caused by harmful bacteria?
Infection
What is: The process that uses observation and investigation to gain knowledge about events in nature.
Science

DOUBLE JEAPARDY
Cells
What do we call a living thing that we CANNOT see with the naked eye?
Microorganism
What is it called when scientists collect data about ONE example over a period of time?

Ask a question
Explain the health risks of harmful bacteria entering the body?
Can cause the human body to become ill / sick
When we eat food, our food is digested within the human body which feeds the bacteria living within the body.
Information about the natural world is called?
Data
What does the cell membrane do inside of a cell? What is its main function?
Prevents things from leaving the cell and prevents harmful bacteria from entering the cell. Acts as a barrier protecting the cell from outside invaders.
What is: Explanation based on experiments- most logical explanation
Scientific Theory
Explain why our body is the perfect environment for bacteria to survive?
Our bodies are at a perfect 98 degrees (on average). At this temperature, bacteria can thrive and function normally. When we get sick, our body raises its core temperature (fever) in order to kill the harmful bacteria.
What is: the relative size of things
(This is the definition) DOUBLE JEOPARDY
Scale
A microbiome is the habitat (environment) in which microorganisms live. In order to live in a microbiome, the organism must be microscopic.
Which organelle inside of the cell is responsible for providing energy (power) to the cell?
Hint: often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria

What are tiny organisms that are made of a SINGLE cell?
Bacteria
Explain why doctors do not prescribe antibiotics every time you are sick? Why can antibiotics be harmful?
Antibiotics kill both the GOOD and BAD bacteria. Overtime, loosing the good bacteria due to antibiotics can make you ill.

Why do plant cells have chloroplasts and animal cells do not?
Chloroplast allow the plant to take in sunlight and convert it into energy (photosynthesis). Animals do not need a chloroplast to survive
