HiSET Science Vocabulary Flashcards
Review 48 focused terms across scientific inquiry, life science, physical science, and Earth science. Each numbered card includes an example and a unique hint.
At a glance
The HiSET Science subtest uses multiple-choice questions. It measures science knowledge, scientific inquiry, and the ability to interpret and evaluate information.
Start with evidence
Many science items provide a passage, experiment, diagram, table, or graph. Read its labels and conditions before choosing a conclusion.
HiSET Science skill map
Life science
Cells, organisms, heredity, ecosystems, and relationships among living things.
Physical science
Matter, energy, motion, forces, waves, and how physical systems behave.
Earth and space science
Earth systems, weather, climate, resources, and patterns in the solar system.
Scientific inquiry
Variables, fair tests, experimental design, observations, and evidence-based claims.
Data and models
Read graph scales and table headings, compare results, and decide what a model does or does not show.
Cause and explanation
Connect a scientific principle to a new situation and separate a supported conclusion from a guess.
Try a sample question
A student places one plant in sunlight and another in a dark cabinet. Both receive the same amount of water. What is the main variable being changed?
Show the answer and reasoning
Light exposure is the variable being changed. Keeping the water the same helps make the comparison fair for the question being studied.
A simple study routine
1. Name the task
Decide whether the question asks about a concept, a procedure, a pattern, or a conclusion.
2. Read the evidence
Check labels, units, controls, and the conditions described in the passage or visual.
3. Check the claim
Choose the answer that is supported by both the science idea and the evidence provided.
