--A characteristic that you can observe without changing it. (Using your sense)
Ex. Color, Shape, Texture, Smell, Size, State of matter
*Chemical Properties

*Physical Change
-- Doesn't form a new substance.
Ex. Chopping Something Up, Melted Ice Cream, Jelly On Toast
*Chemical Change
--Substances changed into new and different ones.

-- An outbreak that spreads all over from one country to the next.
Ex. Influenza
*Prevention
-- take care of it before you get sick.
Ex. washing your hands, not wearing someone else shoes, Take off sweaty socks,
taking a vaccination
*Treatment
-- A helper when your sick.
Ex. Antibiotics, keeping yourself clean
*Biotechnology
-- The use of living cells to make useful products.
Ex. Vaccination for animals
*Careers
-- A job
Ex. Validation specialist, medicine specialist, biotech engineer
*Agriculture/Medicine/economy
-- Agriculture is affected by biotech because It helps out a lot when our population is growing. Medicine is affected by biotech because we can make better medicines to cure many unreachable diseases. Economy is affected by biotech because we all need something better and we are able to sell many other things to many other states so we could make more money.
