The Science of Biology?

What is the Scientific Method? A series of steps used to solve problems Steps in the Scientific Method 1. Identify the problem 2. State the Hypothesis 3. Design an experiment 4. Conduct Experiment/Record data 5. Draw conclusions     [page]

Identify the problem Take notice of events that are occurring (problem) Pose the problem as a question 2. Form a Hypothesis a. Hypothesis: a scientific explanation that can be tested 3. Design and Experiment Experiments must be: - measureable…uses the metric system - observable…can you view the experiment? - objective—no biases - bias: no influence or prejudice - repeatable…can you perform it again?    

b. independent variable: the one and only variable or factor purposely changed or manipulated during the experiment c. dependent variable: data collected that is affected by the independent variable d. constants: all other factors that stay the same during the experiment e. control experiment: what happens under natural conditions (does not have an independent variable)    

4. Collect and Analyze Data a. data: information collected from the experiment b. quantitative data: numeric data c. qualitative data: descriptions and characteristics that cannot be counted 5. Drawing Conclusions a. data points to supporting, refuting, or revising the original hypothesis

Can All Experiments be Performed? Not all experiments can be performed based on ethics (what is right or wrong) Example: Cancer You CANNOT perform research on human beings They would test people who have already been exposed

Studying Life Biology is the study of life and living organisms Characteristics of Living Things Made up of cells unicellular vs. multicellular Based on a universal genetic code DNA Grow and Develop Cells become more specialized for particular functions Respond to their environment Stimulus     [page]

e. Reproduce Sexual vs. Asexual f. Maintain a stable internal environment Homeostasis g. Obtain and use material and energy metabolism h. Evolution Organisms should be able to evolve and become more suited to their environment     [page]

Formal Lab Write Up Title a. What is the lab about? b. Example: Pinto Bean Growth 2. Purpose a. Tell the purpose of the lab in complete sentences. Tell research you have found on the topic. Explain your hypothesis and why you chose the hypothesis or reasoning behind it. 3. Materials a. list exact materials used in columns. (use lab sheet to help)     [page]

4. Procedures a. 1. List step by step instructions 2. They must be numbered 3. They must be complete or specific 4. Must be in complete sentences 5. Data a. Any data tables, charts, or graphs     [page]

6. Conclusion a. Paragraph 1: Explain if your hypothesis was right or wrong. Never say I was right or I was wrong, but say The experiment… (complete sentences) b. Paragraph 2: Tell 2 possible sources of error. Do one at a time and tell how each one could have affected your results (complete sentences) c. Paragraph 3: Describe an extension for this lab or describe a new independent variable you could test for…briefly describe how to carry it out     [page]
