Module #1

7. Logical interpretation based on prior knowledge, experience or evidence
8. the process by which green plants and other organisms use the energy of sunlight and simple chemicals to produce their on foods
10. the variable manipulated by the experimenter
11. living creatures to small to see with the naked eye
13. the sum total of all processesin an organism that break down chemicals to produce energy and simple chemical building blocks
16. the variable responding to the manipulated variable
17. a factor that changes an experiment
18. Observations involving numbers, such as counting and measuring

1. Observations that are not easily counted or measured such as colors
2. a suggested, testable answer to a well-defined scientific question or a possible testable explanation
3. An explanation of some part of of the natural world that has been thoroughly tested and is supported by a significant amount of evidence from observations and experiments
4. the collected body of data from expirements and observations
5. the idea that long ago, very simple life forms spontaneously appeared through chemicals reactions
6. the sum total of all processes in an organism that use energy and simple chemical building blocks to produce large chemicals and structures necessary for life
9. the group in an experiment that experiences no manipulation
12. the sum total of all processes in an organism that convert energy and matter to sustain the organism's life functions
14. a description of a natural relationship or principle of ten expressed in mathematical terms, and supported by a significant amount of evidence
15. the group in an experiment that is manipulated
