  21. Summarize

  22. March 1st: Part 2 • Icebreaker • Science Knowledge Survey • Notes: What Science Is/Is Not • Notes: Hierarchy of Life • Lab 1: Checks Lab • Break 24

  23. Icebreaker • With a partner, communicate 5 things about yourself without speaking or writing (drawing pictures is ok). Switch roles. • Everyone will introduce their partner verbally. Partner can make corrections and fill-in missing details

  24. Science Knowledge Survey

  25. What is science? What do you think scientists are like?

  26. Scientist Stereotypes

  27. Scientists at U. of Arizona

  28. What science is not. Pseudo-science • is a body of knowledge that claims to be “scientific” (i.e. provide insight into the physical world) but fails to comply with the scientific method • may deliberately deceive the public for political or financial gain. • often makes statements that cannot be tested. • often makes claims without supporting experimental evidence. • often ignores contradicting experimental results.

  29. What science is not. Examples of pseudo-science • Extrasensory perception • Astrology • UFO’s & Alien abductions • Creationism

  30. What is science? Science is… • A way of knowing about the natural world & a method for solving problems • A process designed to reduce the chance of being misled so as to find the most probable answer • Science does not “prove” something to be true… Different fields ask questions about different types of natural processes.

  31. What is biology? Biology is…

  32. What is biology? Biology is… • The scientific study of life. • Biology is defined by life level’s of organization, which extend from tiny molecules to the entire living planet.

  33. 0 The Study of Life

  34. Life’s Hierarchy from Top to Bottom Biosphere: all of the environments on Earth that support life. Ecosystem: all organisms living in a particular area (i.e. rainforest ecosystem) And… all nonliving physical components of the environment that affect the organisms (soil, water, air, etc.)

  35. Life’s Hierarchy from Top to Bottom Community: all the organisms in an area Population: An interacting group of individuals of the same species* *Species – where’s the dictionary?

  36. Life’s Hierarchy from Top to Bottom Organism: An individual living thing

  37. Question… False True ? • A saguaro cactus is an organism? • Those goldfish are a population? • We are a population? • Together, the goldfish and we are a population?

  38. Question… False True ? • A saguaro cactus is an organism? TRUE • Those goldfish are a population? TRUE • We are a population? TRUE • Together, the goldfish and we are a population? FALSE, a community.

  39. Life’s Hierarchy from Top to Bottom

  40. Life’s Hierarchy from Top to Bottom

  41. Organ System: A group of organs that work together in performing vital body functions Life’s Hierarchy from Top to Bottom Name an organ system in the human body.

  42. Organ System: A group of organs that work together in performing vital body functions Human organ systems: Nervous Cardiovascular Urinary Skeletal Muscular Integumentary Endocrine Lymphatic and Immune Respiratory Digestive Reproductive Life’s Hierarchy from Top to Bottom

  43. Life’s Hierarchy from Top to Bottom Organ: A structure consisting of several tissues adapted as a group to perform specific functions. Tissue: A cooperative unit of many similar cells that perform a specific function within a multicellular organism

  44. Life’s Hierarchy from Top to Bottom Cell: A basic unit of living matter separated from its environment by a plasma membrane; the fundamental structural unit of life.

  45. Life’s Hierarchy from Top to Bottom Molecule: A group of two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds.

  46. Life’s Hierarchy from Top to Bottom Atom: The smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element Atom

  47. The Checks Lab...

  48. The Checks Lab • Directions: each team will be given an envelope with 16 checks inside. Do not look at the checks until I say so • Remove 4 of the checks and place them on the lab table…Don’t show the checks to the other groups • Read the information on the 4 checks and try to formulate a tentative hypothesis to explain the storyline • This is your original hypothesis. Record on the worksheet
