7. Animals
Animals are a big part of Biology and we can learn a great amount from studying them. By watching how they interact with their environment, we can learn about their impact on their ecosystem. Here is a link to a fun website about endangered animals.

8. Plants
Plants are also a large portion of Biology. Studying how plants reproduce, consume nutrients, and produce oxygen helps us understand how they impact the ecosystems in which they inhabit.

9. Biology is only one of the many different branches of Life Science
Biology is only one of the many different branches of Life Science. There are still several other life sciences that are extremely important within the scientific community, such as medicine, anthropology, and ecology. All of these branches of science are equally important when considering life science as a whole. “The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.” Eden Phillpotts
