ALL THAT WE LEARN IN SCIENCE
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the acronym for scientific method | PHEOC people hate elephants on couches |
| What does the scientific method acronym stand for | Problem, hypotheses, experiment, Observation, conclusion |
| What’s the independent variable eh | The thing you are testing ,it’s the only thing that will change |
| Now what’s that uh dependent variable | It’s the results of experiment |
| An observation is | The process of obtaining information by using your senses |
| In scientific method the control group is | The group used as the standard for comparison Basically it helps the dependent variable |
| What in the world is a graduated cylinder | A tube-shaped thingy that measures liquid. |
| What do you do if you don’t understand something in the lab | Ask the teacher for help |
| What does the periodic table even do | List all known elements |
| What’s an element | A PURE substance that can’t be broken down pure basically means it’s not mixed with anything |
| Groups? | Vertical columns in the PT |
| Periods? | Horizontal groups in the PT |
| What is a mixture | 2 or more elements not chemically combined |
| What’s a compound | 2 or more elements chemically combined |
| What’s all the states of matter | Solid, liquid, gas, plasma |
| Matter is | Anything that takes up space and has mass |
| Matter is made of | Atoms |
| What do color and shape do | Describe the appearance of matter |
| Solid? | Definite shape and definite volume |
| Liquid? | Has definite volume only No definite shape |
| Gas? | Molecules bounce off one another rapidly and act freely |
| Heat? | Movement of thermal energy |
| What is conduction | Direct transfer of heat from one substance to another |
| Fossil fuels are? | Non renewable energy found underground |
| What’s astronomy | The study of everything in the universe |
| What’s meteorology | The study of weather |
| What’s the uhhhhhhhhh troposphere | The layer in the atmosphere where weather takes place |
| What’s a waning phase | When the moon looks like it disappears |
| What’s a new moon | When the moon restarts(waning turns to waxing) |
| What’s precipitation | Rain sleet snow |
| ¿Front? | Boundary between air masses |
| Seasons | Different types of weather in certain months |
| Why do seasons even happen | Because of the earths Revolution and tilt |
| What is Mrs. Jansens favorite H word | Homeostasis |
| Reproduction | Making more of your own species |
| Autotrophic | They get nutrients from sunlight |
| Heterotrophic | You ingest food get the nutrients |
| What type of organisms use autotrophic nutrition | Plants |
| What type of organisms use heterotrophic nutrition | Humans, animals, insects |
| What is photosynthesis | The process of plants turning sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make glucose |
| Chlorophyll | Green pigment that captures the light energy of the sun and used in photosynthesis |
| Chloroplast | The site of photosynthesis |
| Whats a cell | The basic unit of structure of function |
| Cytoplasm? | Transparent jelly like fluid where chemical reactions take place |
| Nucleus? | Where DNA is found (brain of the cell) |
| Why is the mitochondria called mighty | Because it makes energy |
| What do ribosomes do | Make protein |
| What in the actual universe is amino acids | The building blocks of protein |
| DNA | Genetic material |
| What is cellular respiration | The process of breaking down food to produce atp |
| What are the 2 types of transport | Passive and Active |
| Passive transport is when | Molecules move across the cell membrane without any atp |
| Active transport is when | Molecules move across the cell membrane with the atp |
| Osmosis | Movement of water molecules across the cell membrane without energy |
| What type of transport is osmosis | Passive transport |
| Fancy word for fat | Lipid |
| Mitosis is when | A parent cell produces 2 IDENTICAL daughter cells |
| If a parent cell has 50 chromosomes then the daughter cells | Will also have 50 chromosomes each |
| Metaphase | Chromosomes line up in the middle |
| 4 phases of mitosis acronym | PMAT |
| 4 phases of mitosis | Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase |
| Mitosis is what type of reproduction | Asexual |
| What does mitosis produce, and how many chromosomes | Diploid sex cells and 46 chromosomes |
| What does meiosis produce, and how many sex cells | Haploid sex cells and 23 chromosomes |
| who’s Gregor Mendel | The father of genetics also the sexy monk |
| Genetic variation | Differences among organisms that hep them survive better |
| Whats heredity | Passing traits from parent to offspring |
| Phenotype | Physical characteristics that you can observe |
| What’s the uhm biotic factors | All living organisms in a ecosystem |
| And the abiotic factors | All non living organisms in a ecosystem |
| Biotic factor examples | Birds,trees,squirrels,rabbits |
| Abiotic factor examples | Sunlight, rocks, ponds, soil |
| What is competition | When 2 organisms rely on the same food source |
| Evolution is when | A species changes over time |
