| Physical Science | Our Physical environment-( chemistry and physics) |
| Life Science | Living things and relationships to eachother and to the envrionment - (Biology) |
| Earth Science | Our Planet and universe (geology and astronomy |
| Botany | The study of plants |
| Ecology | The study of organisms and their environment |
| Microbiology | The study of microorganisms |
| Zoology | The study of animals |
| Types of Physical Science | Chemistry and Physics |
| Types of Life Sciences | Botony, Ecology, Microbiology, Zoology, anatomy and phisiology |
| micro | small |
| organism | living things |
| The goal of science | To learn about the world around us through questioning and observations |
| Types of Earth Sciences | Geology and astronomy |
| What is life science? | living things and relationships to each other and the environment |
| What is specialization? | The study of only one part of a subject. |
| What is microbiology | The study of microorganisms |
| What is anatomy and physiology? | The scientific study of the STRUCTURE of living things |
| What is genetics? | The ways the personal characterisitcs are passed from one generation to another through GENES. |
| Problem | Identify a solution- state it as a question? |
| research | gather all the information that is viable |
| hypothesis | a possible explanation for a problem based on research |
| experiment | a way to test and probe the hypothesis |
| control | the part of the experiment that is ot being tested and is being used for the comparison- They are NOT PART OF THE EXPERIMENT- THEY ARE NOT BEING TESTED |
| independent variable | The part of the exper. that the expermiment changes- WHAT IS BEING TESTED |
| dependent variable | The part of the exper that changes asa result of a change in the independent variable |
| constant | the thing that stays the same |
| observations | collecting information using senses |
| data | information = numbers or words- organized |
| conclusion | the result |
| retest and revise | do the experiment many times |
| scientific law | an idea has been throughly tested and proven true- rule that describes a pattern in nature - example: newtons law of gravitgy |
| scientific theory | an idea tha is generally accepted as true but has not been fully tested- an attempt to explain a pattern observed repeatedly in nature-example:atomic theory |
| Steps of scientific method | Problem, Research, Hypothesis, Experiment, Observations, Conclusion, Restest &revise |
| Steps of scientific method trick | People Run Home Every Other Cold Rainstorm |
| Hypothesis | An educated guess of the experiment's results |
| 3 types of variables | independent, dependent, constant |
| variable | factors that can be changed in an experiment |
