record observations;
gather information
quantitatively and
qualitatively
3) Designing Controlled Experiments
independent and
dependent
variables must be
present
5) Drawing Conclusions
draw conclusions
based on data; look
back to hypothesis
2) Inferring and Forming a Hypothesis
Use observations to
make inferences that
can lead to a
hypothesis
1)Observing and Asking Questions
Begin with noticing
events in a careful,
orderly way that can
lead to other new
questions
Scientific Laws/Theories
Scientific Law
laws are concise,
specific
descriptions of how
some aspect of the
natural world is
expected to behave
in a certain situation
Scientific Theory
A scientific theory is a well-tested
explanation that unifies a broad
range of observations and
hypothesis and that enables
scientist to make accurate
predictions about new situations.
Science and Society
They are related
science involves
understanding its context
in society and its
limitations
Characteristics of living things
iving things are based on a universal genetic code
living things grow and develop
living things respond to their environment
living things reproduce
living things maintain a stable internal environment
living things obtain and use material and energy
living things are made up of cells
living things evolve
Big Ideas in Biology
Cellular Basis of Life
living things are made of cells
Information and Heredity
living things are based on universal genetic code called DNA
Matter and Energy
living things obtain and use material and energy
Growth, Development, and Reproduction
all living things
reproduce; generalized
cells become specialized
during growth and
development
Homeostasis
living things maintain a stable internal environment
Evolution
living things evolve physically and internally
Structure and Function
some structures have evolved to fit their functions
Unity and Diversity of Life
all living things
are
fundamentally
similar at
molecular level
but are in variety
of forms
Interdependence in Nature
all living things are connected into a biosphere
Science as a Way of Knowing
science is not just
facts but an
explanation of the
natural world
