1. What is the difference between a scientific theory and a hypothesis? - A scientific theory is an explanation that unifies a broad range of ideas. A hypothesis is a proposed scientific explanation for a set of observations. So a scientific theory is based on multiple ideas, a hypothesis is based on observations.

2. List the 8 characteristics of all living things. - Made up of units called cells, can reproduce, is based on a universal genetic code, grow and develop, obtain and use materials and energy (metabolism), respond to their environment (stimulus), Maintain a stable and internal environment (homeostasis), and changes over time.

3. List the 5 characteristics/traits of science. (You can find this answer in the private comment you left on your Tricky Tracks Google Doc) CTOES- Creative, tentative (can change at any time), open-ended, empirical (driven by data), and subjective (relying on collaboration)

4. List the 8 levels of biological organization, from smallest to largest. -Molecules, cells, groups of cells, organism, population, ecosystem, biosphere

1. Science - An organized way of using evidence to learn about the natural world

2. Observation - Data gathered by using your senses

3. Data - The information gathered from an observation

4. Quantitative data - Expressed as numbers, Obtained by counting or measuring

5. Qualitative data - Descriptive and involves characteristics that can’t be easily measured.

6. Inference- An inference is a conclusion based on evidence and reasoning.

7. Bias - Rooted in values or opinions

8. Hypothesis -A proposed scientific explanation for a set of observations.

9. Scientific method - Method of asking a question, forming a hypothesis, doing research, making observations, and finding a conclusion to your hypothesis

10. Skeptical - not easily convinced, having doubts.

A hypothesis is a proposed scientific explanation that needs to be tested. A theory is an explanation for a broad range of things that have been tested and proven. Next, a controlled expirement only tests one variable at a time.
