Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line

22 notecards = 6 pages (4 cards per page)

Viewing:

Unit 1: Science of Biology

front 1

Biology

back 1

The study of living things

front 2

Scientific Method

back 2

The steps that scientists follow to investigate phenomena.

front 3

Hypothesis

back 3

An educated guess. An assumption of what will happen in an experiment or an observation. Low level of certainty.

front 4

Theory

back 4

An explanation that is supported by lots of evidence collected over a period of time. More certainty than a hypothesis.

front 5

Law

back 5

An explanation that is universally accepted as true. Highest level of certainty.

front 6

Experiment

back 6

Carefully planned procedures to test a hypothesis.

front 7

Independent variable

(IV)

back 7

In an experiment, the factor or variable that a scientist deliberately changes. (I Vary)

front 8

Dependent variable

(DV)

back 8

In an experiment, the variable that depends on the independent variable. The variable that you measure. DV depends on IV

front 9

Constants

back 9

Things that are kept the same in an experiment.

front 10

Control group

back 10

The group that is the identical to the experimental group except it does not get the independent variable. It serves as a comparison.

front 11

Experimental group

back 11

The group that the independent variable is applied.

front 12

Characteristics of Life

back 12

The conditions that need to be met to be considered living.

  • Homeostasis
  • Metabolism
  • Response
  • Organization
  • Reproduction
  • Heredity
  • Growth and Development

front 13

Homeostasis

back 13

Maintaining a state of balance in an organism reached through reactions that occur in the organism.

front 14

Metabolism

back 14

The total of all chemical reactions that occur within an organism.

front 15

Organism

back 15

Any living thing that shows the 7 characteristics of life

front 16

DNA

back 16

The genetic material found in all living things.

front 17

Cell

back 17

The basic unit of all living things

front 18

Organization

back 18

One of the characteristics of life: Organization in multicellular organism and in environment

Multicellular organism: Cells --> Tissues --> Organs --> Organ Systems --> Organism

Environment: Individual --> Population --> Community --> Ecosystem --> Biome

front 19

Biotic factors

back 19

Living things in an ecosystem

front 20

Abiotic factors

back 20

Nonliving things in an ecosystem

front 21

Structure

back 21

How something is put together or constructed. Determines function.

front 22

Function

back 22

The job that something does.
