Introduction โ€” how biology is organised

01 ยท Organisation

Levels of organisation

From the atoms in a molecule up to the whole biosphere, life is built in levels โ€” each one made of the level beneath it. โ–ถ Play to climb from cell to ecosystem.

02 ยท The hierarchy

From a cell to the biosphere

A cell is the smallest living unit; similar cells form a tissue; tissues form an organ; organs form a system; systems form an organism โ€” and organisms build populations, communities and ecosystems.

03 ยท The method

How biologists find things out

Biology runs on evidence. The scientific method cycles through observation โ†’ hypothesis โ†’ experiment โ†’ results โ†’ conclusion, then refines and repeats. โ–ถ Play to step round the cycle.

04 ยท A fair test

Controlling the variables

A good experiment changes one variable (independent), measures the effect (dependent), holds everything else constant, and includes a control โ€” so any change must be due to the one thing you changed.
