Lesson 1: Living Organisms

This section will introduce you do
the special way of thinking and

asking questions known as science.

You will see that science
investigations are sometimes
carried out in a special way, called

the scientific method. You will also
learn about how models can be
helpful to scientists. Next, we will
talk about life. We will explore

what makes something alive, how
living things can be organized, and
how we can name living things.

This section is important because it
is the basis of everything else you

will learn in science. Science has
done many great things in our
lives, from designing safety

features for our cars to discovering

medicines that are used to treat
illnesses. But if we do not
understand how science works, we

cannot hope to make these kinds
of discoveries. In order to study
life science, we must know what
make something alive, and what is

the same and different about
various living things.
