Directions: Type the words you want for vocabulary in place of Word 1, Word 2,etc. Go to the corresponding slide for the word and give a definition. You can also record your voice defining the word and pronouncing it. You can could insert a picture of the word, or a video explaining some concept of the word.

3. Biomedical Science
The application of the principles of the natural sciences, especially biology and physiology, to clinical medicine.

4. Control Group
The group in an experiment where the independent variable being tested is not applied so that it may serve as a standard for comparison against the experimental group where the independent variable is applied.

5. Dependent Variable
The measurable effect, outcome, or response in which the research is interested.

6. Experiment
A research study conducted to determine the effect that one variable has upon another variable.

7. Forensic Science
The application of scientific knowledge to questions of civil and criminal law.

8. Hypothesis
Clear prediction of the anticipated results of an experiment

9. Independent Variable
The variable that is varied or manipulated by the researcher.

10. Negative Control
Control group where conditions produce a negative outcome. Negative control groups help identify outside influences which may be present that were not accounted for when the procedure was created.

11. Positive Control
Group expected to have a positive result, allowing the researcher to show that the experimental set up was capable of producing results.

12. Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)
A double-stranded, helical nucleic acid molecule capable of replicating and determining the inherited structure of a cell’s proteins.

13. Gel Electrophoresis
The separation of nucleic acids or proteins, on the basis of their size and electrical charge, by measuring their rate of movement through an electrical field in a gel.

14. Helix
Something spiral in form

15. Model
A simplified version of something complex used, for example, to analyze and solve problems or make predictions.

16. Nucleotide
A building block of DNA, consisting of a five-carbon sugar covalently bonded to a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group.

17. Restriction Enzyme
A degradative enzyme that recognizes specific nucleotide sequences and cuts up DNA.

18. Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLPs)
Differences in DNA sequence on homologous chromosomes that can result in different patterns of restriction fragment lengths (DNA segments resulting from treatment with restriction enzymes).

19. Autopsy
An examination of the body after death usually with such dissection as will expose the vital organs for determining the cause of death.

20. Bibliography
A document showing all the sources used to research information.

21. Citation
A written reference to a specific work (book, article, dissertation, report, musical composition, etc.) by a particular author or creator which identifies the document in which the work may be found.

22. Documentation
The act of creating citations to identify resources used in writing a work.
