·      Can scientific discoveries occur without an an experiment?

·      What are three conditions on earth that make it a good place for living things?

·      What is the difference between a theory and a law?

·      Are theories open to further study? Why?

·      A formal hypothesis always includes which two words?

·      What are examples of qualitative and quantitative observations.

·      In an experiment where you are testing a variable, how many samples would you test?

·      Is an ecosystem composed of just living things? (Can you provide an example?)

·      If some one is looking at animals, which field of biology would they be in?
