Suggested Lecture Outline
1.1 The characteristics of life
AP
A. Are different from nonliving things
B. Require energy and raw materials
C. Are composed of cells
D. Maintain homeostasis
PR
E. Respond to their environment
F. Grow and reproduce
G. Populations of living things evolve
1.2 How humans fit into the natural world
OV
A. Classification system: domain, kingdom, phylum, order, class, family, genus, and species
B. Defining humans: bipedalism, opposable thumbs, large brain, capacity for complex
language
C. Study of humans at different levels of biological organization. Use Table 1.1 to explain the
levels of human biology.

1.3 Science is both a body of knowledge and a process
A. Scientific method: a process for testing ideas
1. Observe and generalize
2. Formulate a hypothesis
?
3. Make a testable prediction
4. Experiment or observe
?
5. Modify the hypothesis as necessary and repeat steps 3 and 4
B. Making findings known
