Document Summary
Section 1. 7 the process of science: science natural causes for natural phenomenon. Hypothesis is important because it leads to predictions: deductive reasoning starts with general premises- extrapolate to specific results. Ex: if all organisms are made of cells(premise 1) and humans are organisms(premise 2), then humans are composed of cells(deductions) prediction. Cscientific method test predictions: observations, critical questions, develop hypotheses, test predictions. *hypothesis doesn"t need to be an if/then statement* 2: test predictions, controlled experiments, growth exp. Chemical analysis exp: draw conclusions, analyze data, report conclusions. Emergence: the whole is more than sum of the parts, biology lots of facts. Figure 1-6: chemical level, atom i. ii. Subatomic particles protons, neutrons, electrons b. emergent properties: cellular level, multicellular organisms, tissues, organ systems, organism, population individuals of a species living in same place of same time, community populations of different organism. 3: ecosystem community and non-living environment, biosphere, significance.
