ObservationObserving aspects of nature. Gaining valuable information to see what's known. QuestionA question created to determine study focus. The goal is to answer the question. HypothesisAn educated guess about your question. PredictionFormulating an if-then statement from the hypothesis ExperimentationA method which the prediction is tested. Has at least two groups, a Control group, which remains normal, and an Experimental group, which is altered. ConclusionBased on analysis of g...

What is science? What is biology? Why is biological literacy essential in the modern world? - Science - collection of facts; process for understanding the world; involves objective observation and experimentation Biology - the study of living things Biological Literacy - use scientific inquiry; communicate ideas about biology to others; integrate ideas about biology into your decision making - Avoid being bamboozled What are the steps of the Scientific Method? Do these steps always need...
