This book is called Biology The Dynamics of Life by Alton Biggs, Chris Kapicka and Linda Lundgren. This book was published by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. This book is geared towards the student who wants to study the dynamics of life.
This book has over 1108 pages in it. There are 43 chapters in this book. Get ready to go on a journey into biology! There are so many disciplines that we can learn from and they all take time to build knowledge and understanding of them. We will become students of biology. Let’s explore the many teachings that have been discovered and shared in this field of knowledge!
Cells, plants, vertebrates, invertebrates, human biology, genetics all will be explored and touched on in a way that can be a basic introductory into the different fields. There are 10 units in this book. 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! As human being we have curiosity about the living world. Living things are complexed and routine cause us to overlook the living world around us and the role we play in the changing of things. How are we connected to the living things around us? Asking questions and searching for answer is the journey of Biology.
Unit 1 – What Is Biology
Chapter 1- Biology: The Science of Life
Section 1.1 – What Is Biology?
Answering questions about the natural world involves methods of investigation and discovery that are at the core of biology.
Are you familiar with the Scientific Process?
One of the main subjects in biology is about living things. Biology is the study of life. Living things are dependent on their environment. If you step outside your house do you ever noticed all the living things around you? When you look at another human being the only living thing you may “see” on them are their eyes. The skin, nails, hair etc… are actually all dead cells. Underneath these things are living cells at work.
Our very existence depends on other living things within this planet we share called Earth. The kinds of questions that are answerable using the science of biology are questions about life. Concepts, principles and theories from the study of life builds knowledge.
Studying biology is important for human existence and building knowledge of our environment.
Socially and psychologically, living things affect us every day. Social interaction is good for social development and how we function and fit in with the environment is taught through the study of biology.
As I eat and work out knowledge of human biology will allow me to make the right decisions about when and what to eat. Minerals, vitamins, proteins etc… are important things to intake. In the gym what muscles and joints to condition in order to grow physically.
