Biology Chapter 1 Test (Concept 1-3)
Study Guide with All Verified Correct
Answers
Petri Dish - Answer a shallow, circular, transparent dish with a flat lid, used for the culture of
microorganisms.
Scale - Answer A system of ordered marks at fixed intervals used as a reference standard in
measurement
Beaker - Answer a lipped cylindrical glass container used for measuring liquids
Test tube - Answer long cylindrical tube, opened at one end; used for combining/heating/holding
substances
Graduated cylinder - Answer instrument used to measure volume of a liquid
Observation - Answer The data measured, collected, perceived or noticed, especially during an
experiment
Inference - Answer A guess based on clues or data
Scientific Method - Answer 1. Ask a question.
2. Conduct background research.
3. Construct a hypothesis.
4. Test the hypothesis in the experiment.
5. Analyze data.
6. Draw conclusions & communicate them.
, Hypothesis - Answer -a testable prediction based on what observations that describe a cause & effect
relationship between variables.
-if (independent variable, then (dependent variable)
-include amounts
-include brands (if needed)
-be specific
-write out as a bulleted list
Independent variable - Answer -cause
-what the experimenter will deliberately change or manipulate in the investigation
-the x-axis
-the ONLY thing difference between different experimental group
Dependent variable - Answer -effect
-what changes in response to the independent variable
-the y-axis
-what is measured
Constant - Answer The aspects of an experiment that are held constant/consistent
Control group - Answer Groups used for comparison with the experimental groups (the norm)
Experimental group - Answer Groups that are being tested
Technological Design Process - Answer 1. Problem Identification
2. Solution Design
3. Implementation
4. Evaluation
