Science Process by which we ask questions about what we observe in nature and seek to find answers Process by which we ask questions about what we observe in nature and seek to find answers Biology- two types Biology- two types Discovery Discovery Hypothesis-based Hypothesis-based

Discovery Science Descriptive Descriptive Observes and collects data that describe natural structures or processes Observes and collects data that describe natural structures or processes

What do you observe? Similarities/Differences?

Examples of Discovery Science Mapping of the human genome Mapping of the human genome Accidental discovery of antibiotic penicillin by Alexander Fleming Accidental discovery of antibiotic penicillin by Alexander Fleming Identifying new species of plants and animals Identifying new species of plants and animals

Type of Data Discovery Science collects Two types Two types Qualitative – observations in form of descriptions- color, shape, behavior Qualitative – observations in form of descriptions- color, shape, behavior Quantitative – observations based on measurements, collection of numbers Quantitative – observations based on measurements, collection of numbers
