Unit 1- Nature of Science

This brief introductory unit will focus on defining life, as well as the methods which scientists use to conduct experiments.

The essential questions to guide your learning include:
-  What is biology and how do we study it?

-  How is scientific knowledge constructed?

-  How do you know you are alive?
