Biology: The Science of Life: Prepared By: Mrs. Ethel O. Cueto, RND

Biology is the study of living things, including their structure, functions, life processes, reproduction, and interactions with the environment. It provides basic information about life forms and processes, enhances understanding of the environment and relationships between organisms, and improves human life. Studying biology can lead to interesting careers in fields like medicine, research, teaching, and more. The scientific method is used, involving making observations, formulating hypotheses and conclusions, and testing ideas through experimentation and data collection. There are three main fields of biology - botany, zoology, and microbiology.

BIOLOGY:

THE SCIENCE OF LIFE

Prepared by: Mrs. Ethel O. Cueto, RND


Biology

• It is a natural science that studies living


things; their structure, functions,
reproduction, life processes and
interactions with the environment
Why study BIOLOGY??....
It is because, BIOLOGY….
-provides basic information about living forms
and the processes life undergoes in the natural realm
- may enhance one’s understanding about his
environment and the interrelationships among living
organisms with their environment
-improves quality of human life
- may help you fund out interesting careers in
medicine, biochemistry, applied biology, teaching or
research
The Scientific Method
• Draw conclusions based
Inductive on a number of
observations
Reasoning • Moves from specific to
general

Deductive • Draws specific conclusions


from larger assumption
Reasoning • Moves from general to
specific
The Scientific Method

Is a logical sequence of thought,


processes and activities designed
to gather information and test
ideas
The Scientific Method: Steps

Define or State a Formulate


Problem/Question Hypotheses

Formulate a
Test the
Conclusion or Collect Data
Hypotheses
Generalization
The Scientific Method
Theory
- hypothesis that is continually
supported by experimental evidences
• VS

Law
- theory that is consistently supported
by more and more evidences and
explanation became irrefutable
