Biology is one of the most successful of the “natural

sciences,” explaining what our world is like. To

understand biology, you must first understand the
nature of science.

The basic tool a scientist uses is thought. To understand

the nature of science, it is useful to focus for a moment on
how scientists think

The Nature of Science can be defined as knowledge about the

natural world.
Natural Sciences
Those fields of science related to the physical world and its phenomena and
processes are considered natural sciences. There is no complete agreement
when it comes to defining what the natural sciences include. For some
experts, the natural sciences are astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth science,
and physics. Other scholars choose to divide natural sciences into life sciences
and physical sciences. Life sciences study living things and include biology.
Physical sciences study nonliving matter and include astronomy, physics, and
chemistry. Some disciplines, such as biophysics and biochemistry, build on
two sciences, and are interdisciplinary.

Science is a way of viewing the world that focuses on

objective information, putting that information to
work to build understanding.

• Observation
It consists of examining a phenomenon.
• Hypothesis
It is an explanation for something that is based
on known facts but has not yet been proved.
• Experimentation
It is a procedure that allows us to test if the
hypothesis is true or false.
It can be necessary to make a table with data
and graph.
Analysis
It consists of analyzing the results of the
experiments.
The results of the experiments can support the
hypothesis as true, or disprove as false.
Conclusions
It consists of drawing conclusions after examining
the data from the experiment. Maybe,
you need a new hypothesis.
• Share your findings
Write a report and make a presentation.

The Earth is the 3rd planet closest to the Sun. The Earth has different characteristics
that make it a unique planet. The following characteristics together don ́t exist in
the other planets. These characteristics are:

• TEMPERATURE
Due to its distance from the Sun, its average surface temperature is about 15 ºC.
The temperatures around it make it possible for water to exist as ice, liquid and
water vapor. These changes of state result in the water cycle.
• ATMOSPHERE
It contains very important gases for living things: oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide
(CO2) are essential gases of respiration and photosynthesis.
• MAGNETIC FIELD
It protects living things from solar radiation.
• SATELLITE
The Moon causes ocean tides.
• GEOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
Erosion, volcanoes or earthquakes.
