### science:

Biology
* Most biology focuses on analyses.
* Most biology goes through developmental stages
  - has complexity
  - involves organisms
* Some biology focuses on variation
  - has chemistry
  - predicts existence.
  * People who study biology are called biologists. Biology looks at how animals and other organisms behave and work, and what they are like. Biology also studies how organisms react with each other and the environment. It has existed as a science for about 200 years, and was preceded by natural history. Biology has many research fields and branches. Like all sciences, biology uses the scientific method. This means that biologists must be able to show evidence for their ideas, and that other biologists must be able to test the ideas for themselves

+ Human body, Fields of study: Anatomy
  * Biology is a field of science. It studies living things. It looks at how the human body works. It studies how the human body came from evolution. It studies how genetics makes the human body.
+ Life processes
  * Biology is the science that deals with living things. Sometimes it is necessary to make a difference between organisms that are alive, and other things that are not alive.
+ Natural sciences
