Question Description
Unit 1: Lesson Project: Study of Life and What is Biology
All throughout this unit, you have learned what is Biology and what it is about. All of the activities and applies have been preparing you to complete this unit project. Now it is time to demonstrate what you have learned. Some questions may require you to research ahead in your textbook or to review information from previous chapters.

Section A: Short Answer Questions (5 points each)
Give an example of a scientific question that could be investigated with an experiment.
List the six characteristics of all living things.
Identify four unifying principles of modern biology.
Outline the levels of organization of a complex, multicellular organism such as a mouse, starting with the cell.
What is homeostasis? Give an example.
What is a scientific hypothesis? 3b. What characteristics must a hypothesis have to be useful in science?
In your own words (a) Give the definition of Science then (b) Identify the goal of science.

9. Sir Isaac Newton has discovered many laws, besides the laws of motion. (a) What law of nature did Newton discover? (b) How did he relate his discovery to the relationship between the Earth and the Moon?
10. List the steps of the Scientific Method (Investigation), and give an explanation of each step.
Section C: Virtual Lab (60) points: Using Scientific Method
ALL LABS REQUIRE A COMPLETE AND PROPERLY FORMATTED LAB REPORT; ANY ASSIGNMENT THAT DOES NOT HAVE A LAB REPORT WILL BE GIVEN A FAILING GRADE. A SAMPLE REPORT FORMAT CAN BE FOUND ON THE LINK BELOW.
Biology Lab Report Outline
READ directions carefully before starting the lab.
Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to use the Scientific Method to solve a problem.
Materials
2 small pieces of wax paper (this is the gum wrapper)
1 meter long piece of string
1 meter stick (long ruler)
2 different pieces of bubble gun labeled A and B
Key information: Each group will need one piece of gum labeled A and one labeled B. You will need to make 3 observations about each brand of gum.
Problem: Which piece of bubble gum blows the biggest bubble?
Hypothesis: Predict which piece of gum will blow the biggest bubble and why.
Procedure:
1. The person with brand A will chew their piece of gum for 3 minutes. The person with brand B does not begin chewing until all the tests on brand A are completed
2. Blow a bubble.
3. Using a string, your partner will measure the diameter (distance across) the bubble. Put the string on the meter stick to measure the distance in centimeters (cm).
4. Record the measurement in a data table. Repeat the process for trials 2 and 3.
5. Find the average bubble size for brand A (add all the distances up and divide by 3) and put in the data chart.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 with brand B gum.

Analysis of Results
1. What brand of gum is the best at blowing bubbles and why? Support your answer with observations and your data.
2. Does gum stretchability relate to bubble size?
3. List 5 variables that may affect the outcome of this experiment.

Key Points To Remember
Unless you are asked for a list, ALL answers to the questions should be written in complete sentences, utilizing proper lesson vocabulary, grammar, and punctuation.
If you are asked to draw any images for an assignment, pictures from the internet will not be accepted as a substitute.
If you have to complete a virtual lab, all labs require a complete and properly formatted lab report. A link to a sample report can be found in the lesson folder; a second report outline is also located on the lab assignment page.
YOU WILL RECEIVE A SCORE REDUCTION IF ANY OF THE ABOVE COMPONENTS ARE REQUIRED AND YOU DO NOT MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS.
