## Life Science: Exploring God's World
An introduction to creation, the scientific method, and the diversity of life.

## The Origin of Life: A Biblical Foundation
* Focuses on the purposeful work of a Creator as the foundation for life.
* Highlights biological complexity as a reflection of intelligent design.

## The Scientific Method
* Defined as a systematic way of learning through observation and experimentation.
* Mentions historical figures like Kepler and Newton.
* Steps include: Ask a Question, Form a Hypothesis, Experiment, and Analyze & Conclude.

## Example: Plant Growth Experiment
* Testing the hypothesis that plants grow taller with more sunlight.
* Data recorded: 2 hours (2.5cm), 4 hours (4.1cm), 6 hours (6.8cm), 8 hours (8.2cm), 10 hours (9.5cm).

## Characteristics of Living Things
* Uses the acronym MRS GREN: Movement, Respiration, Sensitivity, Growth, Reproduction, Excretion, Nutrition.

## The Basic Unit of Life: Cells
* All living things are composed of cells, described as miniature factories.

## Classifying Life: Taxonomy
* Background on Carl Linnaeus and the organization of nature.
* The 6 Kingdoms of Life: Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia.
* Species breakdown: Animals (~75%), Plants (~16%), Others (~9%).

## Humanity and Stewardship
* Human classification in Kingdom Animalia vs. the biblical concept of Imago Dei.
* Discussion on science as a tool for stewardship and caring for the natural world.
