What is the study of life?

Data collected based on numerical evidence

a proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation. Usually stated in an “if ...then” statement

the ability for organisms to maintain stable conditions such as temperature and pH inside the body

the group in an experiment that you do not change so it can act as a comparison to your experimental group

things in the experiment that stay the same in every trial

the variable in your experiment that you deliberately change

the variable that is being measured or observed

organisms that can create their own food

organism that needs to eat its food because it cannot make its own food

theory that organisms come about from non-living matter Ex: maggots come from meat

Set about disproving spontaneous generation by placing a piece of meat in an uncovered jar and another in a covered jar. When flies appeared on the uncovered meat and not the covered meat he proved the flies did not spontaneously generated from the meat

Set about disproving spontaneous generation by boiling to flasks of broth and then covering one but not the other. Microorganisms began to grow in the uncovered flask but not the covered one.

Set about disproving spontaneous generation by using a curve necked flask. The neck of the flask was left open but due to the curve, microorganisms could not get it. After a year he took off the curved neck and microorganisms began growing in the flask within a day
