Therefore Biology is… __________________________________

Scientists study and investigate nearly every aspect of life on Earth. They work in different fields of science. The names of many of these fields end in the suffix –logy. A suffix, such as –logy, must be combined with another word part to complete its meaning.

Determine the meanings of the prefixes in the name of each field of science listed below. In the second column of the chart, write a description of what is studied in each field listed in the first column.

14.________ Michael fed different diets to three groups of guinea pigs. His experiment showed that guinea pigs need vitamin C and protein in their diets.

15.________ Kim’s experiment showed that chicken egg shells were stronger when she gave the hen feed to which extra calcium had been added.

Long ago, many people believed that living things could come from nonliving things. They thought that worms came from wood and that maggots came from decaying meat. This idea was called spontaneous generation. In 1669, an Italian biologist, Francesco Redi, did experiments to prove that maggots did not come from meat. One of his experiments is shown below:

Redi placed pieces of meat in several jars. He divided the jars into two groups. He covered t5he first group of jars with fine cloth. He left the second group of jars uncovered. Redi observed the jars for several days. He saw flies on the cloth of the covered jars, and he saw flies laying eggs on the meat in the uncovered jars. Maggots appeared only on the meat in the group of jars left uncovered.

1. Scientists use a series of organized steps called scientific method to solve problems. List the steps that are often used. _________________________ _____________________________________________________________
