The Science of Biology 1.1 What is Science?

The Goals of Science 1. Deals only with the natural world The supernatural is outside the realm of science

2. Collect & Organize Information

3. Propose TESTABLE explanations

Summarizing SCIENCE is a body of knowledge that explains the natural world.

Science Begins with OBSERVATIONS **Try an exercise in observation. How good are your observing skills?

Where’s Odlaw & Wizard Whitebeard?

Data = information gathered from observations Quantitative = a quantity, a number or measure Qualitative = a quality, description

INFERENCE - a logical interpretation/HYPOTHESIS based on prior knowledge * Drawing a conclusion

“Notice all the computations, theoretical scribblings, and lab equipment, Norm….Yes, curiosity killed these cats.”

HYPOTHESIS - a proposed explanation, must be TESTABLE Examples: 1. Purina food will reduce a dog's shedding. 2. Putting Miracle Grow on tomato plants will make them produce more tomatoes. 3. The drug Avapro will lower a person's blood pressure.

1-2 How Scientist Work (page 8)

EXAMPLE HYPOTHESIS: Spontaneous Generation - living things came from nonliving things Ex: Francesco Redi (1668) - MEAT & MAGGOTS

Ex: Louis Pasteur (1800's) - S-shaped flask

ALL 2 Experiments DISPROVED SPONTANEOUS GENERATION ! Life can only come from other life.

Scientific Method: 1) Ask questions, make observations 2) Gather information 3) Form a hypothesis 4) Set up a controlled experiment Imagine how you would test a particular fertilizer to determine if the fertilizer would grow taller plants.

Manipulated variable - the thing you change Responding variable - what you observe or measure

After you have designed your experiment 5)Record and analyze results 6)Draw a conclusion 7)Repeat Does more fertilizer = better growth?

Example of Scientific Method in Action Question: What causes bromothymol blue to change colors when you blow into the straw? Question 2: Do fish grow faster if they are raised in a larger thank?

***Field studies, models *** Field Studies - when nature is observed in its natural state Models - using computers to make a representation of a process, idea, or structure

How would you make a model of: 1. Your home 2. This classroom 3. A dissected frog 4. Climate change 5. The solar system
