100
A tool used in science to measure temperature.
What is a thermometer?
100
Which type of paper towel absorbs the most water? What is the independent (manipulated or testing) variable? -Type of paper towel -Amount of water absorbed -Length of paper towel
Type of paper towel *We are testing which type abosorbs the most so we need to test different types of paper towels to see which type absorbs the most water.
100
Units used to measure mass.
What are grams?
100
A tool scientists use to determine the identity of an unknown species.
What is a dichotomous key?
100
You are confident and show courage in new situations. You are willing to try new things.
What is a risk-taker?
200
An electronic tool used in science to measure mass.
What is a digital scale?
200
Will a heavier sphere roll down a ramp more quickly than a lighter sphere? What is the independent (manipulated or testing) variable. -mass of the sphere -height of the ramp -speed of the sphere
mass of sphere *We are testing whether a heavier or lighter (mass) sphere will roll faster or slower so this is our manipulated variable because we are choosing to test a lighter and heavier sphere.
200
Units used to measure distance.
What are meters?
200
The correct order of the organization in a living thing (organ, tissue, organ system, cell).
What is cell-tissue-organ-organ system?
200
You take pride in who you are. You are respectful of others' opinions, taditions, and values. You consider more than one point of view when making decisions.
What is open-minded?
300
A tool used in science to measure distance. Hint--> up to 100 centimeters.
What is a meter stick?
300
Which type of paper towel absorbs the most water? What is the independent (manipulated or testing) variable? What is the dependent (responding or measuring) variable? -Type of paper towel -Amount of water absorbed -Lenght of paper towel
Amount of water absorbed *The amount of water absorbed depends or is dependent upon which type of paper towel we are testing. We can measure this variable because each type of paper towel will respond differently and absorb different amounts of water.
300
Units used to measure volume.
What are liters?
300
The impact on a prey population if a disease kills most members of the predator population.
What is greatly increase in size?
300
You are considerate towards the needs of others. You are committed to making a positive difference to others and to the environment.
What is caring?
400
A tool used in science to measure liquid volume, in large increments, that has a wide mouth.
What is beaker.
400
Will a heavier sphere roll down a ramp more quickly than a lighter sphere? What is the control (constant or same) variable? -mass of the sphere -height of the ramp -speed of the sphere
height of the ramp. *The ramp height needs to be the same so that we can see if a heaver or lighter object rolls faster or not. If the height is changed we won't know the answer.
400
Units used to measure temperature.
What is Celcius?
400
The cellular process represented by this equation: Glucose + Oxygen --> Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
What is cellular respiration?
400
You think both critically and and creatively to help solve problems and make responsible decisions.
What is a thinker?
500
A tool used in science to measure liquid volume, in small increments, that is tall and skinny.
What is a (graduated) cylinder?
500
Will a heavier sphere roll down a ramp more quickly than a lighter sphere? What is the dependent (responding or measuring) variable in the example above?
speed of the sphere *The speed of the heaver and lighter spheres can be measured with a stop watch so we can find out if a heavier sphere rolls down a ramp more quickly or not.
500
Units used to measure density.
What are g/mL or g/cm3?
500
