Chapter 1:

Biology
- Science Methodology
- Make observations. An
observation is an "act of
noticing and describing events
or processes in a careful,
orderly way" (Miller and Levine,
2010).
- Ask Questions
about the
natural world
- Make an inference based on
information that is already
known. Create a hypothesis,
which is "a scientific explanation
for a set of observations that an
be tested in ways that support or
reject it" (Miller and Levine, 2010).
- Design a controlled
experiment, which is "an
experiment which keeps track
of various factors that can
change" (Miller and Levine, 2010).
- Collect data by
measuring and making
records of all
observations. Analyze
the data.
- Draw conclusions about
whether or not your hypothesis
was support by your
experiment. If something is not
supported, make a new
hypothesis and test it.
- Make observations. An
observation is an "act of
noticing and describing events
or processes in a careful,
orderly way" (Miller and Levine,
2010).
- Scientific
Laws/
Theories
- A scientific theory is "a
well-tested explanation that
unifies a broad range of
observations and hypotheses and
that enable scientists to make
accurate predictions about new
situations" (Miller and Levine,
2010).
- A scientific law is is
considered more definite and
factual. No laws have been
disproved by any evidence.
All evidence has supported
this law.
- A scientific theory is "a
well-tested explanation that
unifies a broad range of
observations and hypotheses and
that enable scientists to make
accurate predictions about new
situations" (Miller and Levine,
2010).
