| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Type of fossil-MOLD | a hollow container used to give shape to molten or hot liquid material (such as wax or metal) when it cools and hardens. |
| Type of fossil-cast | an object made by shaping molten metal or similar material in a mold. |
| Type of fossil-carbon film | carbon film is an organism outline of a fossil |
| type of fossil-trace fossil | a fossil of a footprint, trail, burrow, or other trace of an animal rather than of the animal itself. |
| type of fossil-preserved remains | preserved remains of a prehistoric organism or is slang for someone or something that is old and outdated |
| Vocab-Catastrophism | Catastrophism-idea that conditions and organisms on Earth change in quick,violent events |
| Vocab-Uniformitarianism | Uniformitarianism-states that geologic processes that occur today are similar to those that have occurred in the past |
| Vocab-Stratigraphy | Stratigraphy-the branch of geology that studies the order and relative age of rock/soil layers on Earth. |
| vocab-Law of superposition | Law of superposition-states that the youngest layers of Earth are located on the surface and as you go deeper into earth,the layers get older |
| Vocab-Relative age-is a way of describing how old something is not by using numbers but by using a comparison | Relative age-is a way of describing how old something is not by using numbers but by using a comparison |
| vocab-Index fossils | Index fossils-fossil of an organism that was alive for only a short period of time,were abundant and widespread geographically;scientist can use these to assign dates to rock layers |

| definitions-Variation | Variation - is a slight difference in an inherited trait of individual members of a species |
| definitions-Mutations | Mutations - are random genetic changes that result in new variations |
| definitions-Natural Selection | Natural Selection - the process by which populations of organisms with variations that help them survive, live longer, compete better and reproduce more than those that do not have those variations. |
| definitions-Adaptation | Adaptation - an inherited trait that increases an organism’s chance of surviving and reproducing in its environment |
| definitions-Camouflage | Camouflage - an adaptation that enables a species to blend in with its environment |
| definitions-Mimicry | Mimicry - an adaptation that imitates the appearance of another species |
| definitions-taxonomy | taxonomy - the classification and organization of something, especially organisms. |
| definitions-linnaean classification | linnaean classification - A way of organizing living things. In biology, plants and animals have traditionally been classified by the structure of their bodies |
| charles darwin | -Born in England |
| charles daarwin | -Considered to be the father of evolution |
| WEDNESDAY | WEDNESDAY |
| Definitions-Disease | Disease - abnormal condition, a disorder of a structure or function, that affects part or all of an organism. |
| Definitions-Infectious disease | Infectious disease - disease caused by a virus, bacterium, fungus or protist that is spread from an infected organism or the environment to another organism |
| Definitions-Noninfectious disease | Noninfectious disease - diseases that are noncommunicable and cannot be spread, sometimes called chronic diseases because they last a long time |
| Definitions-Pathogen | Pathogen - disease producing organism |
| Definitions-Vector | Vector - any agent (person, animal, or microorganism) that carries and transmits an infectious pathogen into another living organism. |
| Definitions-Bacteria | Bacteria - unicellular microorganisms that have cell walls but lack organelles and an organized nucleus |
| Definitions-Virus | Virus - infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host |
| Definitions-Fungus | Fungus - eukaryotic organisms that includes unicellular microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as multicellular fungi that produce familiar fruiting forms known as mushrooms |
| Definitions-Protist | Protist - unicellular or multicellular organism that can be plantlike , animal like, or funguslike |
| Definitions-Host cell environmental stimuli. | Host cell - living cell in which a virus can actively multiply or in which a virus can hide until activated by environmental stimuli. |
| Definitions-Replication | Replication - viruses can copy themselves by attaching to a host cell and using the cell as a factory to copy itself. |
| Definitions-Mutation | Mutation - enable viruses to adjust to changes in their host cells and are the reason why viruses such as the flu are different every year |
| Definitions- Antibody | Antibody - a protein that can attach to a pathogen and make it useless, if you have the right antibodies you are immune to a virus |
| Definitions-Antiviral drugs | Antiviral drugs - medicine that prevents a virus from entering a cell, antiviral drugs are only good for one virus and not all viruses have one |
| Definitions-Vaccine | Vaccine - mixture containing material from one or more deactivated pathogens (usually viruses), hleps bodies to form antibodies |
| Definitions-Antibiotics | Antibiotics - some bacteria produce these chemicals that limit the growth of other bacteria |
| THURSDAY | THURSDAY |
| Definitions--Energy | the ability to cause change |
| Definitions-Work | the transfer of energy that occurs when a force is applied over a distance (force x distance) |
| Definitions-Power | the rate at which work is done (energy/time) |
| Definitions-Renewable resource | an energy resource that is replaced as fast as, or faster than, it is used. |
| Definitions- Nonrenewable resource | an energy source that is available in limited amounts or that is used faster than it is replaced. |
| definitions- combustion power plant | burns biomass or fossil fuels to create energy that is used to make steam which turns a generator, making electricity |
| coal- | pro-Relatively inexpensive. con-Coal is nonrenewable. There is a finite supply. |
| natural gas- | pro-Cleanest of all the fossil fuels con-Explosive, potentially dangerous |
| nuclear- | pro-Existing and future nuclear waste can be reduced through waste recycling and reprocessing, similar to Japan and the EU (at added cost). con-Long construction time. |
| solar- | pro-Lowers electric bills con- Buying can be expensive |
| wind- | pro-Wind energy is a green energy source and does not cause pollution. con-Noise is regularly reported as a problem by neighboring homes. |
