nonliving.
between the living and
Describe
the levels of biological
organization from smallest to largest.

Major Themes
Evolution
over time
- Populations will change ‘evolve’
Information
Transfer-cells must
communicate with each other and from
parent to offspring.
Energy
energy
For Life - continuous supply of
Species evolve
Natural
selection drives the evolution of
organisms (finches, pests, superbugs)
Darwin’s
Origin of Species in 1859
Variations
New
by mutations
discoveries in genetics have given
support to the evolution theory
Energy Pyramid
Producers
Consumers
Decomposers
Energy Pyramid
Producers - Autotrophs - Photosynthesis
Consumers/Decomposers - Heterotrophs
Primary consumers - Herbivores
Secondary consumers - carnivores
Teritiary consumers - carnivores
(What would a venus fly trap be???)
Energy Pyramid
What
supplies the initial energy?
Where is energy converted?
When/Where is energy lost?
What happens when an organisms
dies?
Scientific Method
Problem/Question
Research
Hypothesis
Experiment
Data
Gathering and Analyzing
Conclusion
Scientific Method cont.
After
experiment is repeated, then
publish findings and limitations.
Experiment
and findings must be
supported by others-Peer Review
Hypothesis
Two
Types
Null
Hypothesis
Directional
Hypothesis
Hypotheses
(see next slide first)
Effect music has on the growth of plants.
Effect
music has on a person’s ability to
retain information while studying.
Effect music has on 17 year olds ability to
retain information while studying.
Effect music has on 17 year old males
ability to retain information while studying.
Experiment
Must
include a control for
comparison
Must be appropriate sample size
Must be repeatable
Two types of variables:
IV-independent variable
DV-dependent variable
Avoiding bias
Blind
study
Double
blind study
Data
Must
Use
be recorded unbiased
standard deviation to determine
if data from the variable is
statistically different.
Conclusion
Not
important if hypothesis is
correct or not.
Information
learned about the
question is what is important!!!
Science Theories
The longer a theory exists in time
and/or the more effort to prove it false
the stronger the theory becomes.
