Science Review

a living thing that carries five basic life functions: grows and develops, uses energy, reproduces, responds to stimuli in its environment, and gets rid of waste

• claim

• animal

• organism

• sensory receptor

the parts that something is made up of; the parts are put together in a way that allows them to perform their function.

• functions

• structures

• organisms

• behaviors

how an organism responds to stimuli; some of these are inherited and some are learned

• answers

• migration

• function

• behavior

the ability of an organism to make more of its own kind

• structure

• reproduction

• inheriting

• sense organs

a conclusion statement or answer to a question (What do you know?)

• evidence

• reasoning

• claim

• hypothesis

details that support (prove) the claim. (How do you know?) Can be numbers or observations. Must be relevant and sufficient.

• key details

• data

• reasoning

• evidence

explains why the evidence supports the claim; may include scientific rules.

• reasoning

• scientific method

• interaction

• stimuli

something in the environment that causes a living thing to react (the sight of food, the sound of a potential predator, day/night, changing seasons/temperatures)

• habitat

• external structures

• reasoning

• stimulus/stimuli

the relationships that living things have with one another. (help one another, predator-prey, compete for resources)

• functions

• interaction

• competition

• differentiation

What is the scientific term for stored energy?

• kinetic energy

• thermal energy

• potential energy

• collision energy
