Midterm Study Guide
Survey of Life 1. All living things share the following characteristics: a. All living things are composed of one or more cells b. Organisms are organized c. Organisms use and create energy for growth d. Organisms grow and develop by cell division e. Organisms respond to stimuli from environment & from within the organism itself to maintain homeostasis f. Organisms reproduce g. All living things adapt and evolve 2. Label the parts of the microscope
3. What does Nature of Science mean?
How science is a unique way of knowing about the natural world 4. What is a body of knowledge?
Facts, definitions, concept, theories, laws 5. What is a way of know?
Change over time, based on evidence, creativity is important 6. What is a set of methods/processes?
Observe, measuring, inferring, predicting, classifying, hypothesizing, experimenting, analyzing 7. Define observation
A data collecting strategy, qualitative—using the five senses, quantitative—counting or using numeric data 8. Define inference
An attempt to explain or interpret observations by using what you observe and/or previous knowledge and experiences, observations what you see infers what you think you see 9. How do you design an experiment? h. Question i. Gather information: preliminary observation & scientific literature j. Form a hypothesis k. Preform a controlled experiment: only one variable is changed l. Record and analyze data: observe qualitative & quantitative data m. Draw conclusions n. Share conclusions: publish scientific literature & repeated investigation 10. Define hypothesis
A prediction about the relationship between the variables
