LIFE, third edition. This semester we will be doing a variety of studies as suggested by the course description. Some of our class time will be spent thinking about and discussing biology issues and concepts. Some of our studies together will also be collaborative . All those things you ve learned in your life about sharing and communicating will be useful to you.
Science is a way of learning about the natural world.
Students should know how science has built a vast body of changing and increasing knowledge described by physical, mathematical, and conceptual models, and also should know that science may not answer all questions. A system is a collection of cycles, structures, and processes that interact. Students should understand a whole in terms of its components and how these components relate to each other and to the whole . All systems have basic properties that can be described in terms of space, time, energy and matter. Change and consistency occur in systems and can be observed and measured as patterns.
