Intro to Science
True or false: Science is unchangeable.
What is False?
This is the name of the sugar produced during photosynthesis
What is glucose?
This is the part of the experiment that the scientist changes on purpose.
What is independent variable?
This type of graph is shows non-continuous data
What is a bar graph?
The name for an organism that only eats plants
What is herbivore?
This is the term that means information you gather using your five senses.
What is an observation?
The gas needed by the plant for photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide?
This is the number of things you can change at a time in an experiment.
What is ONE?
This is the average of 5, 6, and 7.
What is 6?
The name for an organism that eats animals and plants
What is omnivore?
True or False: Science is always a simple six step process.
What is False?
The gas produced by plants during photosynthesis
What is oxygen?
A student is testing the effect of different fertilizers on plant growth. This would be a good control group.
What is a plant that gets no fertilizer?
This is the way you calculate range.
What is the maximum (highest) number minus the minimum (smallest) number?
Name the type of organism that breaks down dead things.
What is decomposer?
This term means a guess based on your observations.
What is inference (or hypothesis)?
These organisms perform photosynthesis
What are producers or plants?
A student is testing the effect of different fertilizers on plant growth. These are three examples of constants
What is...(any three of the following) Same pot, same soil, same water, same light, same type of plant, same height of plant to start, same amount of fertilizer, same measuring device, etc. (there are other possible answers)
This is the type of graph you should make if your independent variable is continuous.
What is a line graph?
Name for an organism that eats only animals?
What is a carnivore?
This is the correct format for a hypothesis.
What is "If...then...because..."
The full equation for photosynthesis
What is: Water + carbon dioxide + sunlight = glucose and oxygen?
Your procedure for an experiment should be written in what format?
What is step-by-step format?
This is another word for mean.
What is average?
This type of organism makes its own food from the sun.
What is a producer?
