Chemistry
A tabular display of the chemical elements, it is widely used in chemistry, physics and other sciences and is generally seen as an icon of chemistry.
What is the Periodic Table?
This chemical equation is known as:
6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What is photosynthesis?
The force that attracts a body toward the center of the Earth, or toward any other physical body having mass.
What is gravity?
It is a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment.
What is a Punnett Square?
A tentative insight that is not yet verified or tested.
What is a hypothesis?
A process in which one or more substances, THE REACTANTS, are converted to one or more different substances, THE PRODUCTS.
What is a chemical reaction?
The surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates.
What is an environment?
? = Distance/Time
What is speed?
It is a complex molecule that contains all of the information necessary to build and maintain an organism.
What is DNA? (Deoxyribonucleic acid)
The people who inhabit a territory or state.
What is population?
Born Maria Salomea Sklodowska, this Polish and naturalized French physicist/chemist conducted pioneering research on radioactivity and was the first person and only woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize twice.
Who is Marie Curie?
He was a French chemist/microbiologist renowned for his discoveries of the principles of vaccination, microbial fermentation and pasteurization.
Who was Louis Pasteur?
He was an English physicist/mathematician famous for his laws of physics and perhaps being clocked on the head by an apple. He was a key figure in the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century.
Who was Isaac Newton?
The sum of all biological processes by which particular characteristics are transmitted from parents to their offspring.
What is heredity?
English naturalist whose scientific theory of evolution by natural selection founded modern evolutionary studies.
Who was Charles Darwin?
Considered "the building blocks of chemistry", it is the smallest unit into which matter can be divided. It is also the smallest unit of matter that has the characteristic properties of a chemical element.
What is an atom?
A microorganism, especially one that causes disease.
What is a germ?
It is "the ability to do work". It is how things change and move. It is everywhere around us and takes all sorts of forms.
What is energy?
It is the basic physical unit of inheritance made up of DNA.
What is a gene?
Also known as "selective breeding". It is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular characteristics by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will sexualy reproduce and have offspring together.
What is artificial selection.
He was an African American surgeon and medical researcher who worked in the field of blood transfusions, developing improved techniques for blood storage and applied his expert knowledge to developing large scale blood banks in early World War II.
Who was Dr. Charles Drew?
The biological process by which new individual organisms are produced from their "parent" or parents. It is a fundamental feature of all known life.
What is reproduction?
Electromagnetic radiations that can be detected by the human eye.
What is light?
A change or alteration in form or qualities.
What is mutation?
The process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
What is natural selection?
