Welcome to Biology
Mrs. WebsterRoom 243
![Page 2: Welcome to Biology Mrs. Webster Room 243. List the steps of the scientific method. List characteristics of life. What is the difference between growth](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f145503460f94c28640/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
List the steps of the scientific method.
List characteristics of life.
What is the difference between growth and development?
Place the following terms in order of least to most highly organized:
tissue, atom, cell, organ system, molecule, organism, organ, biosphere, population, ecosystem, community
![Page 3: Welcome to Biology Mrs. Webster Room 243. List the steps of the scientific method. List characteristics of life. What is the difference between growth](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f145503460f94c28640/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Scientific Process
• MAKE OBSERVATIONS• FORM QUESTIONS BASED ON
OBSERVATIONS• FORMULATE A HYPOTHESIS• TEST HYPOTHESIS - REPEAT TESTS• ANALYZE RESULTS• CONCLUSION
![Page 4: Welcome to Biology Mrs. Webster Room 243. List the steps of the scientific method. List characteristics of life. What is the difference between growth](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f145503460f94c28640/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
THEORY PRINCIPLE
Set of ideas that form a general frame of reference for further study
Explanations have high probability of being valid
Evidence is so over- whelming that the explanation is further elevated
fundamental doctrine on which other concepts are based objectivity
![Page 5: Welcome to Biology Mrs. Webster Room 243. List the steps of the scientific method. List characteristics of life. What is the difference between growth](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f145503460f94c28640/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
WHAT IS A HYPOTHESIS?
• A tentative explanation• To be scientific must be testable• Constructed to provide framework for stating
the results of an experiment• Must be more specific than problem
![Page 6: Welcome to Biology Mrs. Webster Room 243. List the steps of the scientific method. List characteristics of life. What is the difference between growth](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f145503460f94c28640/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
TESTING THE HYPOTHESIS
• INDEPENDENT VARIABLE• DEPENDENT VARIABLE• CONTROLLED VARIABLE
![Page 7: Welcome to Biology Mrs. Webster Room 243. List the steps of the scientific method. List characteristics of life. What is the difference between growth](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f145503460f94c28640/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE
THE CONDITION OR EVENT UNDER STUDY
(What is being changed in the experiment?)
![Page 8: Welcome to Biology Mrs. Webster Room 243. List the steps of the scientific method. List characteristics of life. What is the difference between growth](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f145503460f94c28640/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
DEPENDENT VARIABLE
Variables that can possibly change because of the presence of or change in an
independent variable (What is measured in an experiment)
![Page 9: Welcome to Biology Mrs. Webster Room 243. List the steps of the scientific method. List characteristics of life. What is the difference between growth](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f145503460f94c28640/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CONTROLLED VARIABLES(CONSTANTS)
Conditions that could affect the outcome of an experiment but do
not because they are held constant
![Page 10: Welcome to Biology Mrs. Webster Room 243. List the steps of the scientific method. List characteristics of life. What is the difference between growth](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f145503460f94c28640/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
RANDOM SAMPLING
Subjects are randomly assorted into either experimental group or
control group (ensures both groups are representative samples of the
original population)
![Page 11: Welcome to Biology Mrs. Webster Room 243. List the steps of the scientific method. List characteristics of life. What is the difference between growth](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f145503460f94c28640/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SAMPLING ERROR
When a test group is not equivalent to a natural population, a sampling error is
introduced to the experiment
![Page 12: Welcome to Biology Mrs. Webster Room 243. List the steps of the scientific method. List characteristics of life. What is the difference between growth](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f145503460f94c28640/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
SYSTEMATIC ERROR
• ERROR THAT OCCURS IN THE SAME DIRECTION EACH TIME AND IS ALWAYS EITHER TOO HIGH OR TOO LOW
![Page 13: Welcome to Biology Mrs. Webster Room 243. List the steps of the scientific method. List characteristics of life. What is the difference between growth](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f145503460f94c28640/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Random error
uncontrolled variation between observed or measured value &
the value predicted by a standard or model (the “true” value)
Measurements have an equalprobability of being too high or too low.

What is biology?
![Page 36: Welcome to Biology Mrs. Webster Room 243. List the steps of the scientific method. List characteristics of life. What is the difference between growth](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f145503460f94c28640/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What makes something living?
![Page 37: Welcome to Biology Mrs. Webster Room 243. List the steps of the scientific method. List characteristics of life. What is the difference between growth](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f145503460f94c28640/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Characteristics of Life (textbook pp 16-20):
1. Living Things are Composed of Cells: Single-cell organisms have everything they need to be self-sufficient. In multicellular organisms, specialization increases until some cells do only certain things.
![Page 38: Welcome to Biology Mrs. Webster Room 243. List the steps of the scientific method. List characteristics of life. What is the difference between growth](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f145503460f94c28640/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
2. Living things have Levels of Organization and they are highly organized:
•Both molecular and cellular organization.
•Living things must be able to organize simple substances into complex ones.
•Living things organize cells at several levels:
• Tissue - a group of cells that perform a common function. •Organ - a group of tissues that perform a common function. •Organ system - a group of organs that perform a common function.
(p. 21 in textbook)

Living Things Obtain and Use Energy:•Living things take in energy and use it for maintenance and growth.
![Page 40: Welcome to Biology Mrs. Webster Room 243. List the steps of the scientific method. List characteristics of life. What is the difference between growth](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f145503460f94c28640/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Living Things Grow and Develop:
•Cell division - the orderly formation of new cells. •Cell enlargement - the increase in size of a cell. •Cells grow to a certain size and then divide. •An organism gets larger as the number of its cells increases.
Development – change in form or function
![Page 41: Welcome to Biology Mrs. Webster Room 243. List the steps of the scientific method. List characteristics of life. What is the difference between growth](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f145503460f94c28640/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Living Things Reproduce:
•All living things reproduce in one of the following ways: • Asexual repoduction - Producing offspring without the
use of gametes.
• Sexual reproduction - Producing offspring by the joining of sex cells.
•Reproduction is not essential for the survival of individual organisms, but must occur for a species to survive.

Living Things Adapt To Their Environment: Adaptations are traits giving an organism an advantage in a certain environment. Variation of individuals is important for a healthy species.
