  • Observation is the action or process of examining something, such as phenomena or problems.
  • Hypothesis is a possible explanation of a specific phenomenon; scientific guess.
  • Prediction is a claim about what you can expect to see in nature if a theory or hypothesis is correct.
  • Theory is a testable explanation of a broad range of phenomena.
  • Experiment or Data Gathering is an attempt to produce actual observations that match predicted or expected observations.
  • Biosphere includes the whole Earth and all its living organisms.
  • Ecosystem is a community and its physical environment.
  • Community is the population of all species occupying the same area.
  • Population is a group of individuals belonging to the same species occupying a given area at the same time.
  • Multicellular Organism is an individual composed of specialized, interdependent cells arrayed in tissues, organs and often organ systems.
  • Organ System is two or more organs interacting chemically, physically, or both.
  • Organ is a structural unit in which tissues are combined in specific amounts and patterns that allow them to perform a common task.
  • Tissues are a group of cells with the same specialized function.
  • Cell is the smallest living unit, may be unicellular/multicellular.
  • Organelle is a sac or other compartment that separates activities inside the cell.
  • Biomolecule is three or more chains of the same molecules (proteins, carbohydrates, fats & nucleic acids).
  • Molecule is two or more atoms of the same or different elements bonded together.
  • Atom is the smallest non-living unit.
  • Organisms Classification is Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species.

  • Population Ecology is a branch that deals with the dynamics of species populations and how they interact with their environment.
  • Biotic Potential refers to the maximum rate of increase per individual under ideal conditions.
