HISTORY OF BIOLOGY

PERIOD/STAGES 1. PRIMITIVE PERIOD -characterized by uncritical accumulation of information, mainly derived from the practical necessities of obtaining food, materials for clothing and shelter, substances to cure ailments, and necessary information about the human body. -accumulation of knowledge was not recorded, nor were there scientific method and associated intellectual activities. 2. CLASSICAL PERIOD -began with the Greeks and continued with the Romans, marked by great curiosity about natural phenomena and ability to organize biological knowledge and record it. SCIENTISTS CONTIBUTIONS

RENAISSANCE PERIOD -took place during the 14th to 16th century curiosity about the structure of living things were rekindled -by the middle of renaissance, anatomy, physiology, botany and zoology were established. 4.

PHYSICAL SCIENCE: SCIENTIFIC METHOD- a systematic way of solving problems PROBLEM the application of a logical process of reasoning to arrive at a model nature that is consistent with experimental results. HYPOTHESIS EXPERIMENT THEORY APPLICATION

OBSERVATION

MEASUREMENT - the process of comparing the size or unknown quantity of matter with a known quantity or chosen standard. PHYSICAL QUANTITIES William Thomson (1824-1907)-also known as Lord Kelvin stated the importance of numerical measurement: I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge of it is meager and unsatisfactory kind. A quantitative observation or measurement, always consists of two parts: a number and a unit. Units provide a standard of comparison for a measurement. E.g. 3 kg, 4 ft. 24 hours SYSTEMS OF MEASUREMENT 1. Metric System (CGS System) - the universally accepted system of measurement, also known as SI (International System or Systemme Internationale- system of units that scientists have agreed upon and is legally enforced in almost all parts of the world.) fully adopted in the Philippines on January 1, 1983, under Batas Pambansa no.8. originated in France in 1791, measurements may be expressed as fractions or multiples of ten times the base unit. 2. English System (British System) first adopted in England, also known as FPS System, derived from the names of the standard units of length (foot), weight (pound) and time (second). A. Fundamental Quantities - basic quantities, quantities that are directly measured. 7 Fundamental Quantities PHYSICAL QUANTITY Length Mass Time Electric Charge Temperature Amount of Substance Luminous Intensity Symbol for Quantity l m t Q T n I SI Base Unit meter kilogram second Coulomb Kelvin mole candela Symbol of Unit m kg s C K mol Cd

B. Derived Quantities- when the quantities are expressed as a combination of fundamental or basic quantities. Derived Quantities PHYSICAL QUANTITY Area Volume Density Speed/velocity Acceleration Force/weight Pressure Work Power Symbol for Quantity A V D v/v a F/W P W P SI Base Unit square meter Cubic meter Kilogram per cubic meter Meter per second Meter per second squared Newton Pascal Joule watt Symbol of Unit m m kg/m m/s m/s N Pa or N/m J W

Commonly Used Physical Quantities 1. Mass & Weight Mass-quantity of matter that it contains Weight- is the force that gravity exerts on a body Balance is used to measure the mass or weight of an object. Different types of balances:  Platform and Triple Beam Balance- moderately accurate measurement is done, sensitive to 0.1 gram.  Digital/Analytical Balance- used for more accurate work, sensitive to 0.001 gram to 0.0001 gram.  Spring Balance used to measure the weight of the body directly and is given in the units of force, the Newton (N). The spring is stretched until the force of gravity acting on the body is equal to the backward pull of the spring. 2. Length & Volume Length- distance, the standard or base unit is meter. Ruler, meterstick, caliper are used to measure the length of an object. Volume- it is defined in terms of standard length. Volume of regular solids is obtained by measuring its dimensions. Volume of liquid is commonly measured using a graduated cylinder, pipette, burette, and volumetric flask. 3. Density and Specific Gravity Density- defined as the ratio of the sample s mass to its volume. Density of liquids and solids is usually expressed in grams per milliliter (g/ml) or gram per cubic meter (g/cc) and in gas, g/L. Specific Gravity or Relative Density is a ratio of that substance to the density of a reference substance. Water is the reference substance used for solids and liquids, for gases, air and hydrogen is used. It has no unit. 4. Pressure defined as a force per unit area. It is measured in Newton per square meter equal to Pascal, other units use, psi, torr and atmosphere.  Manometers- used to measure the pressure of liquids or gases.  Barometer- used to measure atmospheric pressure devised by Evangelista Torrecilli. 5. Temperature- the measure of the kinetic energy of a body, also the measure of how hot or cold a substance is.  Thermometer- used to measure temperature; alcohol and mercury are used in thermometers. Clinical thermometer- used to measure the small variations in the temperature of a human body. Temperature Scales: Water Freezing pt Boiling pt. Celsius Scale (Anders Celsius) 0 C 100 C Fahrenheit (Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit) 32 F 212 F Kelvin (William Thomson) 273 K 373 K CONVERSION- Factor-unit method having a numerator and a denominator representing a relationship is used. To convert one quantity to the other, follow the given steps: 1. Write down the given quantity. 2. Multiply/divide the given quantity by one or more factors such that the units of factors. 3. Cancel the units of the known quantities and generate the units of the desired quantity. SIGNIFICANT FIGURES- are those digits in a number with known certainty plus the digit that is uncertain. Rules Governing the Identification of Significant Figures:  All nonzero digits are significant. (346, 3 SF)  All zeros between two nonzero digits are significant. (101.02, 5 SF)  Zeros at the right of a nonzero digit but to the left of an understood decimal point is not significant. (100, 1 SF, 1020, 3 SF, 1000., 4 SF)  Zeros to the right of n understood decimal point and following a nonzero digit is significant. (1.500, 4 SF, 10.10, 4 SF)  Zeros to the right of an understood decimal point and preceding a nonzero digit are not significant. (0.005, 1 SF)  In addition and subtraction, express the final results with the last digits corresponding to that uncertain figure occurring in that component/factor with the least number of decimal places. (0.0521 + 1.3456 + 3.56 + 4.9577 = 4.96)  In multiplication and division, express the final result in as many significant figures as are contained in the factor having the least number of significant figures. (1.5 x 2.0 = 3.0, 2 SF), 22.0/3.1416 = 7.26, 3 SF)  All factors should be rounded off after computation. SCIENTIFIC NOTATION- a convenient way of expressing very large and very small numbers. M x 10 where M is a decimal number with one nonzero digit before the decimal point; and n is s whole number. FORMULA TRANSFORMATION- a rearrangement of the symbols in a given formula, a process of changing the subject of the formula. Formula- a set of algebraic symbols representing a mathematical fact, rule or principle. PRECISION- the agreement of a set of results among themselves. Two forms of deviation, Absolute deviation (AD) the difference between the measured value (Mo ) and the mean (M) for the set of several measurements. Relative Deviation- is calculated by dividing the absolute deviation by the mean. ACCURACY- refers to the closeness of a measurement to the accepted value for a specific physical quantity. Absolute error is the actual difference between the measured value and the accepted value. Relative Error is often called percentage error.
