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 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 |

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 |

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 |
