E-Science: Exploring the Scientific Method


Greetings E-Science folks!


Welcome to Biology Now! This posting will present information for you, the budding scientist, to learn how to investigate scientific phenomenon. In class and in your readings, you were introduced to the scientific method. Now, you will get another chance to learn more about how science is done.

In the following activity, you will be working with a partner participating in a computer simulation activity. One partner will run the simulation, while the other reads along and makes notes when necessary. You are both responsible for discussing the activity and answering the questions together. You will be turning in one answer set for your working partnership. Be sure BOTH your names are on the answer sheet!

Click on this ClassZone link and scroll down to Chapter 2. Click on 'How Might You Investigate Scientific Phenomenon?'

There are 9 steps to this assignment, HOWEVER, you are only to do the first 8! Read each step carefully, view the animations and answer the questions. These are to be done on a separate sheet of paper. If you are feeling particularly inspired, you are welcome to complete step 9. This last step would be considered an EXTRA-CREDIT assignment and you are given an extra 2 days to complete it.

Biology is all around us. It involves the study of living things: the diversity of life, the structure and function of living organisms and their interactions with the natural environment. It is a fascinating subject which is rapidly changing and is having an ever-increasing impact on everyday life. It is very much a science and involves testing ideas through planning, implementing and evaluating experimental evidence. Biology is fun and will develop your understanding of yourself and the world you live in.
