TRANSCRIPT
Come and go with me
LETS TAKE A LOOK INTO BIOLOGY
I. What is Biology?A. Biology- the study of life.
B. Organism- anything that possesses all the characteristics of life.
II. CHARACTERISTICS of LIVING THINGS
A. Have an orderly structure (Organization)B. Produce offspring (Reproduction)C. Grow and develop
1. Growth- results in an increase in the amount of living material and formationof new structure
2. Development- All the changes that take place during the life of an organism
D. Adjust to changes in the environment.1. Environment- An organism’s surroundings including air, weather, temperature, and any other organisms in the area.
III. RESPONSE to the ENVIRONMENT
A. Stimulus- any condition (external or internal) in the environment that requires an organism to react.
B. Response- a reaction to stimulus.
C. Homeostasis- regulation of an organism’s internal environment to maintain conditions suitable for it’s survival “steady state”.
1. Living things reproduce themselves, grow and develop, respond to external stimuli and maintain homeostasis by using “ENERGY”
D. Energy- the ability to cause change. Organisms get their energy from
food.
IV. LIVING THINGS ADAPT and EVOLVE
A.Adaptation- any structure, behavior or internal process that enables an organism to respond to stimuli and better survive in an environment.1. Inherited from previous
generations.
2. Individuals with more suitable adaptations are more likely to survive.
B. Evolution- the gradual change in a species through adaptations over
time.
Homework: Define the Following Vocabulary Words
Adaptation Biology Development Energy Environment Growth Homeostasis Organism Organization Reproduction Response Asexual reproduction Species Sexual reproduction Stimulus
V.
A. Species- group of organisms that can interbreed and produce
fertile offspring in nature..B. Theory- explanation of a natural
phenomenon. “Explains nature”C. Law- describes nature.
SCIENTIFIC METHOD1. Define the Problem2. Collect Information3. Form a Hypothesis
1. Explanation or tentative answer to a question
4. Experiment1. Investigation that
test a hypothesis5. Collect Data from
experiment6. Draw Conclusion7. Publish Information
*** PAGE 17 METHODS
VI.A. Some
experiments involve 2 groups
1. Control Groupa. Control- standard… all
conditions stay the same (shows what happens if there is not change to the independent Variable).
2. Experimental Groupa. Test Group. One single
condition is tested.1. Independent Variable-
(manipulated variable) Changed condition.
2. Dependent Variable- 2 (responding variable) Changes the result from the independent variable.

VII.
A. Science was developed because humans have always been curious about the natural world. Leading to the beginning of cause and effect.B. Science is defined as a process that
produces a body of knowledge about nature. The application of scientific research to society’s needs is called technology.
C. The use and application of science is a step by step process called the
scientific method.
VIII. SCIENCE
A. LIMITS TO SCIENCE1. Some things are
untestable because of the lack of technology
2. Science cannot determine what is socially or
morally correct.
B. KINDS OF RESEARCH1. Quantitative research- this research is analyzed by comparing numerical data. It may be used to make tables or graphs, which allows for large amounts of information to be easily understandable.
2. Qualitative research- expresses quality and observational data,
which is written descriptions of what scientists observe.
IX. ETHICSA.Ethics- refers to the moral
principles and values held by humans.1.Science may not
consider all possible ethics. Therefore, society as a whole must take responsibility for the ethical use of scientific discoveries.
B.Technology- the application of scientific research to meet society’s needs and problems.
