flashcards, draw diagrams, make up
songs.

Come out of your shell and ask
questions!
“Ferret” out the information to the
study guide.
Find a “Study Buddy” !
Think! Don’t just “parrot” back the
information!
Where to look for help
Use the study guides and on line helps
 Tutoring center LSE 203
 Form a study group
 Counseling center
 Disability Services
 Ask your teacher !


Science begins with questions
Scientific Method
 Hypothesis – “an educated guess” about
how something works

 Must
be testable to be useful
 Can test by experimentation
What makes a good experiment?
Control (s)
 Test group(s)
 Results:

only disprove the hypothesis – can never
“prove” that it is true
 Use statistics because responses can differ
 Causation vs. correlation
 Was your experimental design flawed?
 Can
Theory
Is the “best guess” we have at this time
 A set of interconnected hypotheses that
have withstood repeated experimental
testing.

How are all organisms alike?
Made of organized parts
 Made of cells
 Perform chemical reactions
 Obtain energy from their surroundings
 Respond to their environment
 Mature (change) over time
 Reproduce
 Have a common evolutionary history


Homeostasis : maintaining a constant
internal environment in spite of changes in
the external environment.
Cells
Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and
membrane-bound organelles (bacteria)
 Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus and
have organelles

How do organisms differ ?
3 Domains : Archaea , Eubacteria, Eukarya
 Kingdoms: Protista, Plantae, Fungi, Animalia
 Phylums, Classes, Orders, Families, Genera,
Species
 Adaptations
 Evolution
 Natural Selection
