If you follow these readings and have an area where you can follow along with the activities there will be times where you can do science experiments if you create a lab area for yourself. In the lab you can perform experiments that answer your questions about how, what, or why things happen in the living world around you. Also with pencil and paper we can create a thinking lab and evaluate other scientist’s experiments and data.
Biology is connected to art, literature and other subjects you may be interested in. Through these readings we will find those connections together!

Unit 1 – What Is Biology
Chapter 1- Biology: The Science of Life
Section 1.2 – What is Life
Can you identify a living thing from a non-living thing? We can recognize a living thing by the characteristic they have to possess.
Anything that possesses all of the characteristics of life is known as an organism.
All organisms are organized. Living things are able to reproduce. Organisms does not live forever. Life begins as a single cell. Living things evolve during their life time. The growth and development of a single cell allows for reproduction of life and the continuation of an organisms. Living things also adapt to their environment over time. Living things also adjust to stimuli.
The food organisms eat or reproduce dives it energy. The regulation and maintenance of the internal environment of organisms is called homeostasis.
In the science of biology, organisms are the principle objects of study, just as elements are in the science of chemistry and numbers are in the science of mathematics
