7th Grade Q1, Seq 1 - How do scientists classify living things?

        Help!  

Term
Definition
Controlled experiment   A lab investigation in which all the variables are kept the same except for the one that is changed.  
🗑
Variables   factors in a science experiment that are changed, controlled, or measured.  
🗑
independent variable   what the scientist manipulates or tests on purpose.  
🗑
dependent variable   the results that are measured/observed, the outcome.  
🗑
Constant   Factors that are controlled so that they don’t affect the dependent variable  
🗑
field study   A scientific study of free-living plants or animals in which the subjects are observed in their natural habitat without changing, harming, or altering the setting or subject.  
🗑
Model   A simplified representation of a system that are useful for studying systems that are too big, too small, or too dangerous to study directly.  
🗑
Domain   the highest level of scientific classification of organisms.  
🗑
Archaea   The domain of single-celled, prokaryotic organisms that include autotrophs and heterotrophs that are NOT bacteria.  
🗑
Eukarya   the domain of mostly multicellular eukaryotic organisms.  
🗑
Bacteria   the domain of single-celled organisms with prokaryotic cells that can be either autotrophs or heterotrophs and are NOT archaea.  
🗑
Kingdom   the second highest level of scientific classification of organisms.  
🗑
Animal   the kingdom of heterotrophs that are multicellular organisms that sexually reproduce.  
🗑
Plant   the kingdom of multicellular autotrophs that can reproduce sexually or asexually.  
🗑
Fungi   the kingdom of heterotrophs that can be either unicellular or multicellular and can reproduce either sexually or asexually.  
🗑
Protist   the kingdom that includes unicellular or multicellular organisms that can be either unicellular or multicellular and can reproduce either sexually or asexually.  
🗑
Unicellular   organisms that are made of only one cell.  
🗑
Multicellular   organisms that are made of more than one cell.  
🗑
Autotrophs   produce their own food for energy; use photosynthesis or chemosynthesis for energy.  
🗑
Heterotrophs   eat other organisms to get proteins and energy.  
🗑
sexual reproduction   reproduction that results in an offspring that is a mixture of both parents.  
🗑
asexual reproduction   reproduction that results in an offspring identical to the parent.  
🗑
Controlled experiment   A lab investigation in which all the variables are kept the same except for the one that is changed.

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
