    Study Notes

    Quarter 1 - Introduction to Biology and Lab Report Format

    • Raw Data: The original measurements or observations from an experiment.
    • Hypothesis: A testable explanation or prediction about what will happen during an experiment.
    • Variable: Something that can change in an experiment (independent, dependent, or controlled).
    • Theory: A well-tested explanation for a wide range of observations and experiments.
    • Research Question: The main question being investigated in an experiment.
    • Characteristics of Living Things: Traits shared by all living organisms (growth, reproduction, response to environment, and energy use).
    • Homeostasis: The process by which living things maintain a stable internal environment.
    • Molecules: Small groups of atoms bonded together (e.g., water or oxygen).
    • Metric System: A universal measurement system based on powers of ten.

    Quarter 1 - Chemistry of Life

    • Protons: Positively charged particles in an atom's nucleus.
    • Neutrons: Neutral (no charge) particles in an atom's nucleus.
