  1. Chapter 1 The Study of Life Section 1: Introduction to Biology Section2: The Nature of Science Section 3: Methods of Science

  2. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.1 Introduction to Biology Biology—the science of life • Study origins and history of life and once-living things • Study structures of living things • Study how living things interact w/ one another • Study how living things function

  3. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.1 Introduction to Biology The Eight Characteristics of Life - know these! Made of one or more cells Shows growth Develops Reproduces Responds to stimuli Requires energy Maintains homeostasis Adaptations evolve over time

  4. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.1 Introduction to Biology • Living things made of one or more cells. • Cells are basic unit of structure and function in all living things.

  5. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.1 Introduction to Biology Displays Organization • Living things also display organization, which means are arranged in orderly way. • cells are organized into groups that work together called tissues. • Tissues are organized into organs. • Organ systems work together to support an organism.

  6. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.1 Introduction to Biology Grows and Develops • Growth results in adding mass to an organism and forming of new cells and new structures.

  7. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.1 Introduction to Biology Reproduces • species - group of organisms can breed with one another and produce fertile offspring.

  8. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.1 Introduction to Biology Responds to Stimuli • Anything part of internal or external environments • causes reaction by organism is a stimulus. Venus flytrap • Reaction to a stimulus is a response.

  9. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.1 Introduction to Biology Requires Energy • Living things get energy from food. • Plants use light energy from Sun to make food for activities. • Organisms that cannot make own food get energy by consuming other organisms.

  10. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.1 Introduction to Biology Maintains Homeostasis • Regulation of an organism’s internal conditions to maintain life is homeostasis.

  11. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.1 Introduction to Biology Adaptations Evolve Over Time • Adaptation - any inherited characteristic that results from changes to species over time. Ex. Haeckel's Theory The theory that stages in an embryonic development correspond to the stages of evolutionary development of the species.

  13. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.2 The Nature of Science What is science? • Science - body of knowledge based on study of nature. • Essential characteristics, of science is scientific inquiry, or questions • Scientific inquiry is creative process and uses and unbiased observations and experiments.

  14. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.2 The Nature of Science Uses Scientific Theory • theory is explanation of natural phenomenon supported by many observations and experiments over time. • The results are always the same.

  15. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.2 The Nature of Science Expands Scientific Knowledge • Research results are constantly reevaluated to be sure that what we know is TRUE. • leads to new knowledge that scientists then study again and again.

  16. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.2 The Nature of Science Challenges Accepted Theories • Scientists welcome debate about one another’s ideas. • Sciences advance by accepting new information as it is discovered.

  17. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.2 The Nature of Science Questions Results • Observations or data are not consistent with current scientific understanding are of interest to scientists. • inconsistencies often lead to more experiments

  18. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.2 The Nature of Science Tests Claims • Conclusions are reached from the evidence.

  19. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.2 The Nature of Science Undergoes Peer Review • Before it is made public, science information is reviewed by scientists’ peers. • Peer review - procedures and results in experiment are evaluated by other scientists who are in same field, or are conducting similar research.

  20. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.2 The Nature of Science Uses Metric System • Scientists can repeat the work of others as part of a new experiment. • The metric system uses units with divisions that are powers of ten.

  21. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.2 The Nature of Science Science in Everyday Life • Ethical issues must be addressed by society based on values it holds important.

  22. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.3 Methods of Science – click for BrainPop movie Ask a Question • Scientific inquiry begins with observation. • asking questions from a variety of reliable sources.

  23. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.3 Methods of Science Form a Hypothesis • hypothesis - testable explanation of a situation. • When hypothesis is supported by data from additional investigations, usually considered valid • is accepted by scientific community.

  24. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.3 Methods of Science Collect the Data • When biologist conducts experiment, s/he investigates a question in a controlled setting to test a hypothesis.

  25. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.3 Methods of Science Controlled Experiments • control group - group used for comparison. • experimental group -group exposed to factor being tested.

  26. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.3 Methods of Science Experimental Design • Independent variable—only 1 factor in controlled experiment can change at a time. • Dependent variable—results from or depends on changes to independent variable. Dependent and Independent Variables

  27. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.3 Methods of Science Data Gathering • Data—information gained from observations. • Quantitative data can be measurements of time, temperature, length, mass, area, volume, density, or other factors. • Qualitative data are descriptions of what our senses detect.

  28. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.3 Methods of Science Analyze the Data • A graph of data makes a pattern easier to “see”. • Even when hypothesis has not been supported, it is valuable.

  29. The Study of Life Chapter 1 1.3 Methods of Science Report Conclusions • If peer reviewers agree, then paper is published for review by the public and use by other scientists.
