Test 1 (pages 30-90), online quizzes, pre-lecture videos, notes, vocab, Pre-read for next class pages 30-45 (15 minutes) What is science? body of knowledge and an approach to understanding nature. What do scientists do: make observations attempt to discern patteres assume that the future is like the past. Test generates a new set of observations, back to step 1. (circular process) Study of life; the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional. Characteristics of living systems: organization, energy use, development, reproduction, evolve, respond to the environment. Figure 1. 4 1202 on left, 1201 on right. Polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents: non-polar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents, water is a polar solvent, and sucrose is a polar solvent, therefore, it dissolves. Smallest unit of matter separable by normal chemical means. Small unit of matter that retains all of the properties of that element.
