scientific method
|
making observations, formulating hypotheses, doing experment and coming to a conclusion.
|
|
hypothesis
|
based on observations scientist come to a tentive explanation about what they are investigating
|
|
testing a hypothesis
|
must have a control and a sample.
if the control and the test results produce the same resultes the procedure is flawed or the hypothesis is false. |
|
data
|
any functional information that comes to light
|
|
conclusion
|
the data will eather support or not suppport the hypothesis.
|
|
theory
|
encompassing conclusion based on many individual conclusions.
|
|
cell theory
|
all organisms are made of cells.
|
|
control
|
control group goes through all the steps but lacks the factor being tested
|
|
which is more comprehensive a conclusion or a theroy?
|
theroy
|
|
data
|
the information a scientist collect when doing experiments and making observations.
|
|
what step in the scientific method follows experiments and observations?
|
conclusion
|
|
what is a sample that goes through all the steps of a experiment?
|
control
|
|
metric system
|
is the standard system of measurement in science.
|
|
meter
|
(m) =1m
(m)=1000mm (m)=100cm |
|
centimeter
|
(cm)= 0.01m
(cm)=10mm (cm)=1cm |
|
milimeter
|
(mm)=0.001m
(mm)=1.0mm (mm)=0.1cm |
|
micrometer
|
(um)=0.000001m(10-6)
(um)=0.001mm (um)=0.0001cm |
|
nanometer
|
(nm)=0.000000001m (10-9)
(nm)=0.000001mm(10-6) (nm)=0.0000001cm(10-7) |

|
100
|
|
how many millimeters are in a meter
|
1000(milli means thousand)
|
|
what are the two metric units of weight?
|
gram (g)
milligram(mg) |
|
one gram equals how many milligrams.
|
1000mg
|
|
what are the metric units of volume.
|
liter (l)
mililiter (ml) one liter = 1000 ml |
|
how do you measer volume
|
length x width x depth = volume
|
|
meniscus means?
|
water level
|
|
what are the meaerments of temperature?
|
fahrenheit (F)
Celsius(C) |

water freezes at?
|
32 degrees F
or 0 degrees C |
|
water boils at ?
|
212 degrees F
or 100 dgrees C |
|
convert F to C
|
(1.8C)+32
|
|
convert C to F
|
(F-32)/1.8
|
|
steromicroscope (dissecting microscope)
|
studys entire objects at low magnification.
|
|
compound light microscope
|
examin small or thinly sliced objects under higher magnifaction.
|
|
what does compound mean
|
the use of two lenses the ocular lens and the objective lens.
|
|
how are microghraphs produced?
|
by a compound light microscope.
|
|
what microscopes use beams of electrons to magnify an object?
|
electron microscope.
|
|
transmission electron microscope.
|
is comparitive to tge compound light microscope.
a thinly sliced object is treated with heavy meatal salts to improve contrast. |
|
scanning eclectron microscope.
|
is comparitive to the dissecting light microscope.
gives an image of the surface of an object. |
|
the difference between the electron and the scanning is.
|
the electrons ability to show more deatail. the eclectron has more resolution power.
|
|
resoulution means.
|
the distance between two objects at wich they can stil be seen as two separate objects.
|
|
scanning objective
|
shortest objective lense
used to scan the whole slide. 4x the magnifying power. |
|
low-power objective
|
views objects in greater detail

high-power objective lens
|
views objects in even greater deatil.
high power objective lens 40x |
