Transcript Chapter 1 - Angelfire

B’ru haba b’shem Adonai …
Welcome Lord Jesus!
Welcome students in the name of
Jesus
Let’s look at the texts …
• Biology: God’s Living Creation
• Field and Laboratory Manual
– Note: ok to look ahead at Lab Procedures
– No written assignments in preparation for
labs… but lab report sheets document
completion of the lab.
– Handle only lab equipment as needed for
each lab when it is needed. Promptly
replace items.
A special word about …
Labs and the RKSI Project
“Road Kill” Scene Investigation
Project “Common Sense”
Guidelines
• Don’t bring more than we will have time to dissect or
space to store. Assume max of 2 weeks in refrigerator.
Check lab schedule for appropriate dates. We’re already
close to our storage limit.
• Never collect without adult supervision.
• Never physically touch a specimen without wearing
protective gloves or using a collection bag.
• Take care to protect eyes from biohazards
• Practice cleanliness at all times … Wash your hands
after every handling (even when wearing gloves)! And
wash the specimen. Remember: Francis Bacon, the
father of modern science, died from handling specimens.
Lab Safety
• Never dissect a hand-held specimen.
• Never use a scapel or cutting device with more
than one cutting edge.
• Never perform unauthorized experiments.
• Follow directions outlined in Lab Manual
verbatim and any special instructor directions.
• Keep test tubes pointed away from yourself and
others.
• Never taste any chemicals or samples.
• Follow Dissection lab rules.
Lab Rules
1. Touch nothing in the supply box except what is required
for that lab.
2. Tell the teacher if you break something.
3. Communications should be in a whisper and should be
only about the lab.
4. No laughing or talking between tables.
5. Stay in your seats at all times.
6. No playing or doing anything not related to the lab.
7. Raise your hand without calling the teacher’s name.
8. Take your lab manual with you to your lab table and
answer the questions as you work.
Lab Rules specific to Dissections
• Concerns:
– The specimens you will dissect in this class will contain no blood
and feel like plastic.
– The holding fluid is not poisonous and has a mild odor, if any at
all.

5. Use scalpel sparingly.
6. Wash your hands when finished.

The Flowering Seed Plants
1.1 Intro to Biology
• Biology – the study of living things
– BIOS – ‘life’
– LOGY – ‘science of’
• Organisms – living things
• Habitats – regions where particular organisms
normally live
• Our Study Methodology: reading, use of tools of
science, field observations, collection/research
methodologies, dissection of organisms, and
scientific analysis and reporting.
Major Fields of Biology
• BOTANY – the study of plants
• ZOOLOGY – the study of animals
• HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY- the physical structure and
function of the human body
NOT COVERED WELL IN THIS COURSE:
• MICROBIOLOGY
• GENETICS [GENOMETRICS, ETC.]
• BIOMETRICS
• ECOLOGY
• DISEASE/DEATH – MORPHOLOGY
• BIOCHEMISTRY
• ETC.
Our Role in Biology
• Romans 1:20 – For the invisible things of Him from the
creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood
by the things that are made, even His eternal power and
Godhead; so that they are without excuse.
• Genesis 1:28 – And God blessed them, and God said
unto them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the
earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of
the sea , and over the fowl of the air, and over every
living thing that moveth upon the earth.”
• “The whole earth growns awaiting the awakening of
man!”
1.2 Botany
• Importance: 2/3 or food (directly); all really
• Classification/Identification Parts of a Plant:
– Flowers (Reproduction)
– Leaves (Photosynthesis)
– Stems (Classification due to fire)
• Woody
• Herbaceous
• Vine (neither woody nor herbaceous)
– Roots (Transport/storage)
• Taproot
• Fibrous
• Vegetative reproduction (can look like either eg. Sand strawberry)
– Name a few other parts of plants left out of this list.
Other Plant Parts
• Fruits
• Seeds
Leaves

Parts of a leaf:
–

–
•
Blade
Stalk (or petiole)
Midrib (on many leaves)
Three basic leaf shapes:
1.
Broad, flat leaves
•
Leaf margins
