AB
Date artifactsScientists use many methods to do this.
Inductive reasoningUses specific information or facts to make a conclusion
Greenhouse gasesThis is needed to make the planet warm, but too much produces global warming
Induced an electrical currentThis is what Michael Faraday did when he moved a magnet back and forth inside a wire.
Noble gasesThese elements are inert because their outer shells are completely full.
CohesionThe reason water molecules pool together on a flat surface.
ReactWhat happens to elements when their outer shells are ALMOST full.
GravitonsA massless particle scientists believe causes gravity; yet, it has never actually been seen or detected
WaterThis becomes less dense when it freezes and it also expands.
Natural selectionThis is triggered in nature when animals adapt to their environment
Artificial selectionThis is triggered in nature when humans do something to change animals in their environment
ArthropodsNamed by scientists in the 1990s although Charles Walcott discovered them (unnamed) in 1910.
Fossil bedAn area of land that contains fossils
Cambrian periodA time that supposedly last from 530-520 million years ago
the Smithsonian InstituteThe place in Washington D.C. were millions of artifacts may be stored away
Radiometric datingWhen the age of an item is determined with the use of radioactivity.
MagicicadaThis emerges every 13-17 years by the millions in Illinois
Louis PausteurThis is the first scientist to theorize that microorganisms cause illness.
PausteurizationThe heating process that kills microorganisms
AutonomyThe freedom of choice
Gene therapyTreatment for an illness involving the use of genes
Visible spectrumElectric magnetic wave group that can be seen
Weak ForceOccurs at a subatomic level and causes radioactive decay and happens with a charge OR without
GravityA fundamental force that has very little strength, but occurs at vast distances (far) between two masses
Strong ForceOccurs at a subatomic level and holds like charged particles together
Electromagnetic ForceOccurs across a great distance between two charged masses
VaporizeTo change from a solid to a gas
AnthocyaninA chemical in cabbage that may be used to indicate PH
BouyancyThe ability to float in a liquid
CentrosomeThese control the fibers that help divide a cell
CentromereThe center of the X in a chromosome
MitosisCell division
CytokinesisThe final stage of cell division
