2. Regulation

• Homeostasis Regulation of an organisms internal
  conditions to maintain life
• If anything happens within or to an organism that
  affects its normal state, processes to restore
  the normal state begin.

Blood sugar levels
Temperature
Blood Pressure
16
Homeostasis (Cont.)

  that results from changes to a species over time.

28
8. Living things are made of one or more cells.

  and data are then accepted in the scientific
  community.

48
3. Collect the Data

• Biologist conducts an experiment, (a phenomenon
  in a controlled setting to test a hypothesis).

49
4. Controlled Experiments

  manipulated
• 2. Control Group- group you keep the same (all
  variables are constant)

50
5. Experimental Design

• Independent variableonly one factor in a
  experiment that can change
• Dependent variableresults from or depends on
  changes to the independent variable

51
Think Pair Share

  independent variable, dependent variable,
  constants

  better tasting sweet mint Trident gum. Each
  person sampling the gum gets ONE original sweet
  mint and ONE sweet mint with added spearmint to
  try to improve taste. The tasters did not know
  what they were trying and had to record their
  results.

52
6. Data Gathering

• Data - information gained from observations.
• Quantitative data - measurements of time,
  temperature, length, or other factors.
• Qualitative data - descriptions of what our
  senses detect.

53

56
8. Report Conclusions

• Conclusions are published so other can review the
  results and discuss the merit of the experiment.

Identify the following terms identify the
problem, hypothesis, experiment, independent
variable, dependent variable, and create a
conclusion

• The leaves on my tomato plants were turning
  yellow. I was not sure what to do. I decided
  that maybe they were not getting enough sun. I
  moved one plant into the sun and left the other
  one where it was. I recorded the different
  shades of the leaves (yellow, yellow-green, and
  green).
