1. CHAPTER 1
The Science of Life

2. GOAL of science:

3. Investigate
Understand
Explain events
Make predictions
(pg.3)

4. Science is:
*an organized
way of using
evidence to learn
about the natural
world

5. *the body of
knowledge that
scientists have
built up after
years of using
this process

6. Scientific Thinking

7. Observations- use the
five senses
2. Data – gathered from
observations
Inference – a logical
interpretation
4. Hypothesis - proposed
explanation of

8. How Scientists Work
*Ask a question
*Form a hypothesis
*Controlled experiment
*Analysis
*Draw a conclusion
*Theory

10. Explain!! pg. 8-9

11. Lazzaro
Spallanzani

15. Give two examples
of times when an
experiment is not
possible.
Why?
What other methods
could be employed?

16. What is a “theory”?
Explain the theory
or theories about
why marsupials
are primarily in
Australia.

17. Characteristics of
Living
Things

18. Living
things
are
made up
of cells.

19. Living things
reproduce.

20. Living things are
based on a
universal genetic
code.

21. Living things grow
and develop.

22. Living
things
obtain
and use
materials
for energy.

23. Living things
respond
to their environment

24. Living things
maintain a stable
internal
environment.
(homeostasis)

25. Taken as a group,
living things change
over time.
