Chapter 1: The Science of 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).
