ESSENTIAL QUESTION, WHAT IS LIFE?
FOCUS QUESTION “HOW DO SCIENTISTS FIND ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS?
DOL P. 23 Q/A WHAT IS LIFE 1-4
1.
An organism is any living cell or multi-celled structure capable of the 8
characteristics and 2 functions of life by itself.
2.
All organisms need air (gas exchange), water, food (energy), waste
elimination, reproduce, respond to stimuli, grow and die,
2c, 2g, 2r, 2w
composed of cells
consume nutrients
grow and die
gas exchange
reproduce
respond to stimuli
waste elimination
water is needed
3. The function of all living organisms is that energy is used for movement either
internal and/or external.
4. The difference between living, non living, and dead is all living organisms as a
species at one time are capable of the 8 characteristics of life. However, nonliving
means the object was never capable of all 8 characteristics of life and 2 functions of
life at the same time. Dead means the organism no longer is capable of all 8
characteristics of life and 2 functions a the same time as a species.

QUESTION
1.
PROBLEM IS STATED
PURPOSEFUL
2.
HYPOTHESIS IF/THEN STATEMENT ”If strepbacteria grows on the petri
culture then the patient has strep throat.” If thepatient has strep
throat, then the strep bacteria cells will grow on the petridish.”
CONTROLS
3.
MATERIALS be specific, model, make,size, how many, measure in METRIC
Five 50 ml beakers
4.
PROCEDURE numbered steps without pronouns each starts with a verb
1. Collect cells by rubbing cotton Q-tip on patient’s throat
2.
3.
4.
Transfer cells to petri dish
Wait 3 hours for cells to grow
Observe cells
5.DATA COLLECTION – observations, charts, tables, should be quantitative for
PJAS Analysis – graphs of data
6.
RESULTS – Bullet points that discuss graphs
7. CONCLUSION – go back to the hypothesis and restate hypothesis to reflect
results that will accept or reject hypothesis
REJECT – Strep bacteria did not grow in petri culture, patient does not have strep
throat
ACCEPT – Strep bacteria did grow in petri culture; patient does have strep throat
9/17 ACCEPTABLE HYPOTHESIS
COPY NOTE: An acceptable hypothesis must be testable by observation and/or
experimentation. Opinions cannot be the basis for a hypothesis. CONCLUSIONS
ARE NOT IN A HYPOTHESIS.
Examples of unacceptable hypothesis:
The air conditioner needs repairs so it is inefficient during the day.
A better cellular phone provided would stop the microwave interruptions.
9/17 “DEFINING CONTROL REQUIRES CONTROL OF VARIABLES”
3 TYPES OF VARIABLES
1 INDEPENDENT VARIABLE – The 1 and only 1 manipulated or changed variable
2 DEPENDENT VARIABLE – The measured outcome that resulted from the independent
variable change. The independent (changed) variable must be the cause of the
dependent (measured) variable
3 CONTROL VARIABLES – the variables that are kept the same in both the experimental
and control group AS MANY AS YOU CAN CONTROL MANY MANY MANY
2 GROUPS
1CONTROL GROUP – Does not contain the independent variable
2 EXPERIMENTAL GROUP – Does contain the independent variable
PRACTICE WITH VARIABLES

Notes on the Microscope 9/25
1.
use the lower objective lens to find the object
2.
Diaphragm changes the amount of light going through to the objective lens and eyepiece
3.
Hold it by the arm and base
4.
two things about clicking or you get a black dark area: CLICK OBJECTIVE LENSE AND CLICK DIAPHRAGM
5.
YOU WILL BREAK THE GLASS IF YOU MOVE TOO QUICKLY ON THE COARSE OR FINE OBJECIVE LENSE
Dry Mount Notes 10/01
1Touch only the outside of the slides. NO FINGER PRINTS
2 Use tweezers to sandwich the material between two glass slides
3 Use 10X to find material
4 Today, use only 10X and continue to use 10X only until directed to go to a higher
magnification.
I know it states 100X can be used, but we are just learning to use a microscope to only
use up to10X today.
10/02 CELL THE BASIC UNIT OF LIFE P. 30 1-4 Q/A
P. 30 DOL 1-4 Q/A
1. Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus and eukaryotic cells have a nucleus. Pro = no
Eu=true YOU Prokaryotic cells are in Monera Kingdom consisting of bacteria.
2. The cell membrane and cells wall could now hold in the water so cells could leave the
water.
3. All cells have water and need water to survive.
4. Cells are the basic unit of life. (It was an “or” type question.

LAST PAGE OF THE NOTEBOOK TITLE VOCABULARY THIS SECTION WORKS TOWARDS THE
FRONT OF THE NOTEBOOK. DEFINITIONS ARE POSTED AFTER REVIEW. DEFINITIONS ARE
TO BE IN THE STUDENT’S OWN WORDS AND A WORKABLE DEFINITION.
VOCABULARY
1. QUALITATIVE-Facts that come from experiments where observations
using your senses provide the data
2. QUANTITATIVE-Facts that come from experiments proven
many times which are true facts and the data is in numbers
3 DEDUCTIVE REASONING-Logical reasoning based on first having a conclusion and then
find support to validate or prove the conclusion DCE
4 INDUCTIVE REASONING-Logical reasoning based on finding evidence that leads to a
logical conclusion IEC
5 Hypothesis-A logical explanation for observations observed without experimentation
of your own, but the experimentation from others can be used to support your position
in the hypothesis
6 Theory-A universal truth uses many observations and has a lot of experiments over
time as evidence, can be applied to unrelated facts and used to create new relationships
7 Law-MUST BE UNIVERSAL ALWAYS BE TRUE WHICH IS WHY THERE ARE VERY FEW
LAWS IN SCIENCE STANDS THE TEST OF TIME WITHOUT CHANGE. MANY EXPERIMENTS
SUPPORT. USED TO MAKE PREDICTIONS IN NEW AND DIFFERENT SITUATIONS
8 Model A scientific statement that has some experimental validity or is a scientific
concept that tis only accurate under limited situations. Models do not work or apply
UNIVERSALLY in many different situations
9 Living – an organism that is capable of all 8 characteristics of life and 2 functions as a
species and can die
10 Dormant – SUSPENDED ACTIVITY of biotic (living) or abiotic (nonliving) parts of an
ecosystem. Until a condition is met to create movement.
11 Diapause – SUSPENDED DEVELOPMENT of LIVING ORGANISMS through a life span
until favorable conditions are met to continue development.
12 Hibernate – The slowing of bodily functions for a seasonal time to rest
13 Field of View – The total white area that can be seen through the eye piece of a
microscope
14 Total Magnification – eye piece strength x objective lens strength
15 FOCAL PLANE – perpendicular to the lens or mirror
ORGANELLES (added 10/08)
1 Cell Wall – only in plant cells, the very outside, strength, structure, support
2 Endoplasmic reticulum – Rough ER (RER) holds ribosomes
3 Food Vacuole – plants cells, holds water
4 mitochondria – power hous or energy maker of the cell
5 chloroplasts – plants only, makes chlorophyll
6 Lysosomes – house of enzymes (starters of reactions) that eliminate cellular waste
7 cell membrane – eukaryotic cells lets needed item in or not need item out of the cell
8 golgi body – packages simple items needed for cell function and transports the larger
molecules where needed
9 plasma membrane or cell membrane-the outer double layer of a cell that lets needed
items in and keeps undesirable items out of the cell. Bounds or holds in organelles
10 ribosomes – used in making proteins - not really an organelle, can be attached to
endoplasmic reticulum, called rough endoplasmic reticulum with ribosomes and smooth
endoplasmic reticulum without ribosomes
11 Nucleus – brain of the cell, control center
Virus – not alive, must has a host to duplicate, does not have double strand of DNA but
can have a single strand of DNA or RNA.
Bacteria – refer to The First of Five Kingdoms notes
Must have a Graphic Organizer of Words to sort words that are alike in a flowing
pattern
