    1. Biology The study of life Bio =life -logy = the study of

    2. Biologists Ask questions, make observations, evaluate evidence, and solve problems Learn how living things work, how they interact with one another, and how they evolve

    3. Biology Offers an organized and scientific framework for asking questions about the natural world Ex) What is the purpose of the male cricket chirp? Ex) What is a method of stopping cancerous cells from dividing without damaging healthy cells? Ex) What effects will the Gulf oil catastrophe have on marine food webs? Ex) What is the benefit of infanticide in langur monkeys?

    4. Careers in Biology Make lots of money! Travel! Study your favorite animal!

    11. Life What is life? You and everything around you is made up of trillions of various atoms (a combination of protons, neutrons, and elections) that combine together in various ways. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. What is the difference between living matter and nonliving matter?

    12. Life What characteristics must a grouping of matter have to make it living (or once living)? Compare yourself with a computer. Both are matter, but only you are living. Why?

    13. Student Video Clip There is 6 main characteristics of life depicted in this film Can you find all 6 in the film?

    14. Characteristics of life: Made up of cells and organized Stability and homeostasis Reproduction and Inheritance Evolution Growth and development Metabolism and energy use

    15. Characteristics of Life Contest Each group will be assigned 1 characteristic Each member needs to read about the characteristic in the green book Each group will design a poster that illustrates their characteristic in detail. Use more than one type of organism to illustrate the characteristic. Lots of Detail + lots of examples + visually appealing = good work! I will pick a winning group for each characteristic among all of my periods (1,3,4,5,6,and 7) Presentations will be on Monday

    16. Characteristics of life: Made up of cells and organized pg.6,11 Stability and homeostasis pg. 6, 12 Reproduction and Inheritance pg. 7,13 Evolution pg. 8 Growth and development pg.12 Metabolism and energy use pg. 10, 12
