Specific goals or targets for understanding a topic.

A resource to help organize and review course material.

Important words and terms related to specific units.

The first section/part of the course.

The study of living organisms, including their structure and function.

The information covered or studied in the class.

An assessment at the end of the course.

Features shared by all living things (organisms).

Living things react to changes around them.

Living things increase in size and complexity.

Living things create more of their own kind.

Living things obtain and use energy.

Living things maintain stable internal conditions.

Living things have complex, organized structures.

Living things evolve and change over time to better fit their environment.

All characteristics must be present for something to be classified as living.

A logical system of inquiry that uses evidence and observation to understand the universe.

The process of gathering information about the world around us.

A proposed explanation for an observation that can be tested.

A controlled test designed to gather evidence and support or refute a hypothesis.

A step-by-step process used to investigate and understand the natural world. It involves making observations, formulating hypotheses, conducting experiments, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions.

Research focused on expanding fundamental knowledge and understanding of a topic.

Research aimed at solving practical problems and developing applications based on existing scientific knowledge.

When an experiment produces results consistent with the predictions of a hypothesis.

Adjusting a hypothesis based on experimental results that do not support the initial prediction.

Disregarding a hypothesis when experimental results clearly contradict its predictions.

An organism that produces its own food from inorganic materials (like sunlight and carbon dioxide) using photosynthesis.

An organism that obtains food by consuming other organisms.

Organisms that can make their own food using photosynthesis, supplying energy to other organisms.

The process by which plants and other autotrophs convert light energy into chemical energy (sugars).

Photosynthesis is crucial for nutrient cycling because it converts inorganic carbon dioxide into organic compounds (sugars) used by other organisms. These compounds are passed through the food chain and eventually decompose, returning nutrients to the environment.

Water is crucial for life, so finding evidence of water on other planets is a primary way to search for extraterrestrial life.

A water molecule consists of one oxygen atom linked to two hydrogen atoms.

The bonds between oxygen and hydrogen in water are polar because electrons are unevenly shared, making oxygen slightly negative and hydrogens slightly positive.

Water molecules form hydrogen bonds with other polar molecules, including themselves.

Water is less dense as a solid (ice) than as a liquid, causing ice to float.

Water requires a lot of energy to change temperature, meaning it resists temperature changes.

Water molecules stick together (cohesion) creating surface tension and allowing water to move upwards in plants.

Water is a great solvent due to its polarity, allowing many substances to dissolve in it.

Water's cohesive forces create surface tension, allowing some organisms to walk on water.

Water requires a lot of energy to change from liquid to gas, allowing for effective cooling through evaporation (sweating).
