Chemistry

Evidence

Qualitative

Data observations describing non-numerical characteristics qualities or properties (color texture behavior etc)

X-axis

The horazontal reference line on a cordinate plane or graph repeersenting the independent variable

Peer Review

A process by which the procedures and results in an expiriment are evaluated by other scientists who are in the same field or who are conducting simialr research

Saftey symbol

Conclusion

Judgment, descion or opinion formed after an investigation. The end or last part

Data

Imformation gained from observation. Scientists test there hypothesis to test there dtata

Constant

A factor that remains fixed during and expiriment while the independent and dependent variable change

Dependent variable

During an expiriment scientist scientist measure the second factor. results or depends on changes from the independent variable

Independent variable

Is the tested factor and might affect the outcome of the expiriment

Control group

A group used for comparison

Experiment

Metric system

Uses untis with divisions that are powers of ten

Science

A body of knowledge based on the study of nature

SI units

The offical name of the metric system.scaled in multiple of ten makes it easier for scientists to use ( International System of Units

Theory

A system of idea that explains many related observations and is supported by a large body of evidence acquired through scientific investigation

Hypothesis

A possible explanation that can be testeed by observation or explaination

Observation

The act of nothing or perceiving objects or event by using senses

Expirimental Group

A group exposed to the factor being tested

Inferences

The process of comitting what you know with what you have learned to draw logical conclusions

Quantative

Data or measurements expressed using numerical values counts orspecific units (mass, temperature,volume)

Graphing

The visual representation of data relationships between variables using a diagram or a cordinate grid

Accuraccy

How close a measured value or observation is to the true expected target value

Y- axis

The vertical reference line on a cordinate plane or graph typically repersentingthe dependent variable

Bias

A systematic preference prejudice or start toward a specific outcome or perspective that prevents impartial evalutaions or objective analysis

Validity

The degree to which a test study or measurement accuratley reflects or measures the concept or variable that was desighned to assess

Biology

The science of life

Organism

Is anything that has or once had all these characteristics

Growth

Results in the addition of mass to an organism and in many organisms the formation of new cells and new structure

Development

Stimulus

Anything that is produced on either envirorment and causes the same sort of reaction by the organism

Homeostasis

Regulation of an organisms internal conditions to maintain life

Adaptaion

Any inherited characteristics that results from changes to a species overtime

Forensics

Which applies science to matters of legal interest

Reproduce

The production of offspring to pass along traits from one generation to the next. Makes more of there own kind

Cell

The basic unit of life/basic units of structures and functions in all living things

Metabolism

The sum of all chemical reactions carried out in an organism

Heredity

When organisms reproduce it passes its own triats to its offspring

Abiotic

Biotic

Living or once living organisms apart of nature (plants, animals, fungi etc.)

Universal DNA

Everliving thing on earth uses the same biology code

DNA

To store its instructions of life

Energry Consumption

How things take energry and use it to stay alive move and grow

Evolve

A group of living things gradually changes over many generations to better adapt to its envirorments

Genes

Small sections of DNA that act like tiny instruction mauals for your body, deciding traits like eye color or height

Ology

Word ending that means “the study of life” Exp. Biology means the study of life and Zoology means the study of animals
