Balance: Biology specific - The dynamic equilibrium that exists among members of a stable natural community; the regulation of the internal environment of an organism.
Balance: Chemistry specific - A state of equilibrium or stable distribution.
Conditions: Chemistry specific - The environment, both physical and chemical, of a reaction or process; factors which contribute to an interaction including temperature, pressure, concentration, pH and the absence or presence of a catalyst.
Consequences - The observable or quantifiable effects, results, or outcomes correlated with an earlier event or events.
Development: Physics specific - The process of applying theory to data and observations in order to improve, progress, or further scientific understanding.
Energy - The capacity of an object to do work or transfer heat.
Environment: Biology specific - All of the biotic and abiotic factors that act on an organism, population or community and influence its survival, evolution and development.
Environment: Physics specific - A description of the universe or a closed system through the application of the laws of physics; the complex of physical conditions or climate affecting a habitat or community.
Evidence - Support for a proposition derived from observation and interpretation of data.
Form - The features of an object that can be observed, identified, described, classified and categorized.
Function - A purpose, a role or a way of behaving that can be investigated; a mathematical relationship between variables.
Interaction - The effect or effects two or more systems, bodies, substances or organisms have on one another, so that the overall result is not simply the sum of the separate effects.
Models - Representations used for testing scientific theories or proposals that can be accurately repeated and validated; simulations used for explaining or predicting processes which may not be observable or to understand the dynamics of multiple underlying phenomena of a complex system.
Movement - The act, process, or result of displacing from one location or position to another within a defined frame of reference.
Patterns - The distribution of variables in time or space; sequences of events or features.
Transfer: Chemistry specific - The net movement of matter or particles from one location to another.
Transformation: Biology specific - Differentiation of a cell; change of energy form, including at a molecular level; alteration of molecules and metabolism and/or genetic make-up of an organism or species and consequently a community, relative to external factors.
Transformation: Physics specific - A change from one well-defined state to another well-defined state; an alteration in form or condition, including energy and particle nature.
