What do you do during the observation step in the scientific process?

Noticing a phenomenon or a problem.

What do you do during the Scientific Question step in the scientific process?

Ask a question that can be answered with data.

What do you do during the hypothesis step in the scientific process?

Predict the expected results of an experiment.

What do you do during the Experiment step in the scientific process?

Carry out repeatable steps to gather data.

What do you do during the data step in the scientific process?

Look at information that was collected during the experiment.

What do you do during the conclustion step in the scientific process?

Decide whether your hypothesis is supported by data.

Why is water molecules bonding to each other essential for life?

Allows insects to move along and allows nutrients to move through plants.

Why is ice floating essential for life?

Allows life to exist in cold areas and life to survive ice ages.

What are the 5 characteristics of living things?

They reproduce, grow and develop, respond to stimuli, maintain homeostasis, made of cells.

Prokaryote

Organisms with cells that do not have a nucleus

Eukaryote

Organisms with cells that DO have a nucleus

Autotroph

Organisms that make their own food.

Heterotroph

Organisms that get energy by eating or absorbing nutrients from other organisms

Stimulus

a change in the environment that causes an organism to respond

Growth

an increase in the size or number of cells in an organism.

Reproduction

the process by which living things produce new organisms of their own kind.

Homeostasis

the process of keeping an organism's internal conditions relatively stable even when the environment changes

Biodiversity
