The Science of Biology
  1. Scientific methodology involves observing and asking questions, making inferences and forming hypotheses, conducting controlled experiments, collecting and analyzing data, and drawing conclusions.
    1. Science Methodology
    2. The study of biology revolves around several interlocking big ideas: The cellular basis of life; information and heredity; matter and energy; growth, development, and reproduction; homeostasis; interdependence in nature; and science as a way of knowing.
      1. Big Ideas in Biology
      2. Living things are made up of basic units called cells, are based on a universal genetic code, obtain and use materials and energy, grow and develop, reproduce, respond to their environment,maintain stable internal environment, and change over time.
        1. Characteristics of living things
        2. Evidence from many scientific studies may support several related hypotheses in a way that inspires researchers to propose a scientific theory that ties those hypotheses together. In science, the word theory applies to a well-stated explanation that unifies a broad range of observations and hypotheses and that enables scientists to make accurate predictions about new situations. On the other hand, scientific laws do not try to explain the ‘why’ or how the observed events might happen, but only that the event actually occurs the same way again and again.
          1. Scientific Laws/Theories
          2. Science and society are related in a way where science both influences society and is influenced by society. Using science involves understanding its context in society and its limitations. Science tries it’s best to find solutions from problems that occur in society.
