1.1 Biology is the science of life. Properties of Life. Biology is the science that studies living organisms and how they interact with one another and their environment

7.012: Introductory Biology-Fall 2004 Instructors: Professor Eric Lander, Professor Robert A. Weinberg, Dr. Claudette Gardel Big Idea 1: Biology is based on observational and experimental science. 1. We think what we think because we can draw conclusions from the results of controlled experiments. 2. An informative experiment is designed to distinguish between hypotheses
