1 The Science of Biology What is Science? It is a way of gathering & analyzing evidence about the natural world.

2 There are 2 different types of data: Quantitative: counted or measured (NUMBERS) Qualitative: descriptive

3 Theory: a well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observation & hypothesis. Bias: a particular preference or point of view that is personal, rather than scientific. Science in Context

4 1.3 Studying Life Biology: the study of life The Characteristics of Living Things No single characteristic is enough to describe a living thing.

5 Living things: (p. 19) Are based on a universal genetic code (DNA) Grow & develop Respond to their environment Reproduce Maintain a stable internal environment (homeostasis) Are made up of cells Taken as a group, evolve The Characteristics of Living Things
