100
This is the first step of the Scientific Method; it uses the 5 senses
What is observation, or problem
100
This is a belief that biotic organisms came from abiotic elements such as rocks or rotting meat
What is spontaneous generation
100
What is the characteristic of life, that if all other characteristics of life were present, that would cause the extinction of the species in one generation if it were not present?
What is reproduction
100
Which unit of the metric system means "10x" the unit
What is deca
100
This unit is always on the bottom of the graph. What is one of the two names
What is independent variable
200
This step of the Scientific Method is not valid (useable) unless it can be tested
What is hypothesis
200
Sometimes science will choose not to do an experiment because of this "morality" factor
What is ethics
200
What is the characteristic of life that causes that wonderful smell as we pass a bakery?
What is taking in materials (eating, or food)
200
Which unit means "100x" the unit of measure?
What is hecto
200
This unit is always on the left side of the graph. What is one of its two names?
What is dependent variable or manipulated variable
300
This step of the Scientific Method gathers data, uses materials, and requires careful thought
What is experiment
300
For an experiment to be valid, or if a scientist is only going to study a group, the greater this is the more valid the study
What is sample size
300
What is the characteristic of life that allows us to take DNA form one organism such as a firefly and put it into a trout
What is universal genetic code
300
Which unit means 1000x the unit of measure?
What is kilo
300
What are the two names of the units that come at the bottom of the graph?
What is independent or manipulated variable
400
This part of the Scientific Method is the logical result of all of the data gathered
What is conclusion
400
What is data called that uses numbers, and what is data called that uses judgement?
What is quantitative/qualitative
400
Which level of organization consists of different species of organisms interacting together in the same location?
What is community
400
Which unit means 1/000 times the unit of measure?
What is milli
400
What are the two names of the variables at the left of the graph?
What is manipulated or dependent variable
500
This component of the Scientific Method is used to compare the results of the variable part of the experiment to
What is control
500
This must be included in every scientific experiment to have a comparison
What is control
500
Which level of organization is made up of both biotic and abiotic organisms interacting with each other in the same location?
What is ecosystem
500
Which unit means 1/10th of the unit of measure
What is deci
500
If a scientist used two jars, put rotting meat in each of the jars, and covered one of the jars with gauze to see the effect it caused on the number of flies produced, what is the responding (dependent) variable?
What is the number of flies (maggots)
