Studying Life
• Biology – the study of life
• Characteristics of Living Things– No single characteristic is enough to describe
a living thing!

Big Ideas in Biology
• Cellular Basis of Life• Information and
Heredity• Matter and Energy• Growth, Development
and Reproduction• Homeostasis
• Evolution• Structure and
Function• Unity and Diversity of
Life• Interdependence in
Nature• Science is a Way of
Knowing

Performing Biological Investigations
• Scientific Measurement– Most use metric system
• Based on multiples of ten• Also referred to as the International System of
Units or SI
• Safety– Necessary for lab investigations– Appendix B
