Scientific Thinking
How do we solve a difficult question?
Take 3 minutes to rearrange this engineering method according to what you think is correct.
Communicate
Brainstorm
Test the prototype
Research
Define the problem
Develop a prototype
What method does this resemble?...
3 misinterpreted words in bio.....
- Hypothesis: hypothesis will give a plausible explanation that will be tested. It can also explain future phenomenon that will need to be tested. Ex: If fenders are placed on a bicycle, then the user will stay dry when going through puddles.
- Theory: After hypotheses have been tested many times, with accurate results, they become theories. Ex: Cell Theory
- Law: A law has been widely accepted. This means that it is assumed to be a true and will predict the outcome of certain conditions or experiments.
Reading Graphs
Remember the acronym DRY MIX
Dependent Manipulating
Responding Independent
Y-axix X-axis
Control Group V. Dependent Variables V. Independent Variables

Now lets apply this to Biology
- A scientist is testing the effects of medication on the blood pressure of patients.
- A scientist wants to find out how cellular respiration is affected by temperature.
- A scientist is measuring the effect of precipitation on seed germination.
