The Nature of Science

I enjoyed the first unit of science. I think that it was a great and fascinating way to start off the year. We also got a chance to work on labs which helped us get to know each other more. During the first unit, I have learned many new thing as well as old things. I learned new words such as; biosphere, biotic, abiotic, what levels of organizations are, and what an ecosystem is. Some of the things that reviewed was the different variables. The different variables were, independent, dependent, controlled variable, and control group. Also we reviewed on the outline of writing a hypothesis. Another thing that I reviewed was how to use a microscope. We learned how to form a conclusion. Also we learned the difference between qualitative and quantitative. The last thing that we learned about was organize and tell the difference between line, bar, and pie graphs.
