What is Science?
• Science:– An organized way of using evidence to learn
about the natural world.

Unit 1 Biology NotesObservations and Inferences
![Page 17: Unit 1 Biology Notes Characteristics of Life Objective 1: List the six characteristics of life. Objective 2: Use the six characteristics of life to determine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d825503460f94a674d1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Observations and InferencesObservation:
Def.: a statement about the characteristics of an object.• The characteristics are detected by the 5 senses.• The statement must be in a complete sentence.
Quantitative Observation: an observation that includes measurement or counting.
Qualitative Observation: an observation that does not include measurement or counting and therefore requires judgments. (description)
Inference: an assumption based on observations.

Unit 1 Biology NotesExperimental Design
![Page 19: Unit 1 Biology Notes Characteristics of Life Objective 1: List the six characteristics of life. Objective 2: Use the six characteristics of life to determine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d825503460f94a674d1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Experimental DesignIndependent variable (IV):
What: the variable which is purposely changed or manipulated in an experimentWhy: it’s what you are testing
Dependent variable (DV): What: the variable which is measured and responds to the independent variableWhy: Measures what changes
![Page 20: Unit 1 Biology Notes Characteristics of Life Objective 1: List the six characteristics of life. Objective 2: Use the six characteristics of life to determine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d825503460f94a674d1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Experimental DesignVariable Examples:1) Susie wants to know what temperature causes bacteria to
reproduce the fastest.What is the IV?
Temperature (of what??) Be specific!
What is the DV?Rate of bacteria reproduction or how fast bacteria reproduceHow to measure this? Be sure you can explain this.
2) Kevin wants to know if changing the amount of water will delay the leaves of a tree from dropping.
![Page 21: Unit 1 Biology Notes Characteristics of Life Objective 1: List the six characteristics of life. Objective 2: Use the six characteristics of life to determine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d825503460f94a674d1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Experimental DesignHypothesis:
A possible explanation for a set of observations which guides further experimentation.
A hypothesis:• Must be testable• Predicts the relationship between one independent variable
(IV) and a measurable dependent variable (DV)• The direction of the IV/DV relationship must be included
in the hypothesis.
![Page 22: Unit 1 Biology Notes Characteristics of Life Objective 1: List the six characteristics of life. Objective 2: Use the six characteristics of life to determine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d825503460f94a674d1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Experimental Design
• Example hypotheses1) If the amount of fertilizer increases, the plants
will grow.
2) If the amount of fertilizer changes, the plant will change.
3) Increasing the amount of fertilizer will cause an increase in plant height.
4) If the amount of fertilizer increases, the plants will taste worst.
![Page 23: Unit 1 Biology Notes Characteristics of Life Objective 1: List the six characteristics of life. Objective 2: Use the six characteristics of life to determine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d825503460f94a674d1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Experimental DesignConstants:
What: variables which do not change during the course of the experimentWhy: so we know the results are due to changing the IV and not other factors
Control: What: the test group which does not receive the IV treatment, or a group that is chosen as the basis for comparison (the “normal” or “standard”)Why: to know what effect your IV has had on your experiment (sometimes you don’t need a control if you are only interested in comparing data sets)

Experimental Design
Repeated trials: What: an entire procedure is repeated to detect sources of procedural errorsWhy: account for procedural error
Multiple subjects: What: the use of many organisms in an experiment to account for range of variability in test organisms Why: account for variation in test subjects
