Biology studies living things? Are there any living things in this picture?
Zoology studies animals. Vertebrate Zoology studies animals with backbones.
Ornithology studies birds. Mammology studies mammals. Anthropology
studies humans. What science might we use to study what we see here?
Psychology is the study of the mind. Is there any Psychology involved in what
we see here? Are there any mammals in this picture, any birds, any
invertebrate animals? Any vertebrate animals? Are there plants in this picture?
What branch of biology studies plants? What science studies the rocks we
see? Should we perform an experiment, make observations, form a
hypothesis? What is an experiment? What is a hypothesis? Why does
science use experiments and make hypotheses? Where would you go to find
out if you do not have the answers? Is there any ecology in this picture? Is
there any morphology, taxonomy, physiology, anatomy? Look there words up
in a dictionary, in a biology or life science book. Look in the index, in the
glossary. Did you find an answers there?

The part of biology that studies the environment of living things is
called "ecology." Ecology studies the relationship of living things to
each other and to their environment. Taxonomy classifies living things.
Suppose you are an ecologist, or a taxonomist. Suppose you put
your bucket in the Kern River at this spot. What might you find?
Could you find fish? frogs? algae? invertebrate animals? vertebrate
animals? tiny bacteria? tiny plants? fungi? seeds of plants? dry fruits
of trees? What sciences would you need to know? Should you keep
a good record? Do you need a microscope? How can you keep these
things alive? Will they die without oxygen? If the bucket gets too
hot? too cold?

Biology studies life. Ecology studies the environment. Geology
studies the earth. The water cycle is very important to life, to the
earth, to the environment. What part of the water cycle can we see
here? Do you see clouds? Could the clouds make rain? Where
might the rain fall? Where does this river come from? Where does it
go to? What causes clouds? What causes rain? How do you know?
How can you test your ideas? Why is it so dark in this picture? What
time of day do you think it is? What time of year?

Look at the picture to the right. Some
of the plants have lost their leaves.
The plant in the distance is still green.
