ETD 1 A. What is a SCaR and how can it help you remember stuff? B. What does it take to be “alive”? SCaR: Brain
S Simplify C Connect a R and Reconnect ID 3 Key Terms + Give a Simple Definition For Each Draw a Picture Detailed with Labels for each Key Term Give 3 Other Examples That Connect to that Idea for each Written or Drawn
SCa R 1.The Sun Earth’s Nearest Star 1.Light Energy 2.Heat Energy 3. Photosynthesis The Sun Solar Flare Sun Spot
What does it take to be “alive”? Old Alive = MRSGREN Really want to know: C BIG MRSGRENDE Cells, Balance(homeostasis), Interconnected (interdependent), Genes. Move, Reproduce, Sense. Grow, Respiration, Excretion, Nutrition, Die, and Evolve
Biology : More than just Facts Themes = BIG IDEAS CONNECTIONS - Apply to Each Chapter
1. Science as a process-Inquiry 2. Evolution 3. Energy transfer 4. Continuity and change - Genes 5. Relationship of structure to function-Building Blocks 6. Regulation-Balance 7. Interdependence in nature -Web 8. Science, technology, and society
Order Evolutionary adaptation Response to the environment Reproduction Growth and development Energy processing Regulation Fig. 1-3
What is the definition of Science? Science = to Know or Wisdom
Scientific Method = Inquiry Seeks Valid Evidence for Ideas Predictions Disciplined Observations Data based Conclusions
Web – Connections Evolution Building Blocks Balance Energy Genes
Organisms Interact and Depend on each other. ◦ Animal gets Food ◦ Plant gets Seed Dispersal
All Life is Connected Common Ancestors “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution”- Dobzhansky

HOMEOSTASIS = Balance Feedback mechanisms Self-Regulation Negative feedback = Negative feedback Product = Production Thermostat Heat = Sand Pile Positive feedback?
Positive feedback Positive feedback Product = Production ◦ Ex. Exponential Population Growth ◦ Babies Lead to More Babies
Life is Work Work requires ENERGY Energy transformations ◦ EX: Light chemical kenetic thermal Energy flows through an ecosystem, Light E Chem E exit?

Species Pass DNA through Time Genetic mechanisms: Spelling errors Lead to change over time.
Nuclei containing DNA Sperm cell Egg cell Fertilized egg with DNA from both parents Embryo’s cells with copies of inherited DNA Offspring with traits inherited from both parents Fig. 1-9 G- Theme: Continuity and Change
Science leads to technological = + and - society. ◦ Ex. human genome project knowledge of genes ◦ DNA discrimination.
