BIOLOGY
Biology is the science of life and people who are engaged in it are called biologists. They study the secrets of living things. Their discoveries are of great value to all mankind.
Biology tells us about our body: how it is constructed and how it functions. It gives us important information about other living things and how their lives affect mankind. A knowledge of biology will help you to keep healthy.
It will be your guide in solving many of everyday living and scientific problems. Biologists have made a great contribution to science. They have increased our food supply, they have developed new and better varieties of plants and animals. Scientific methods of farming have given us much more food. Biologists control many diseases. They have saved millions of lives by discovering the causes of these diseases and methods of prevention and cure. Vaccines, penicillin and sulfa are products of the biological laboratory.
Biologists have solved many mysteries of the body. They have discovered how blood circulates, how food is digested and many other secrets of life. They are not working in different fields of biology and their studies may lead to a solution of many problems.
A biologist's laboratory is a fascinating place. In it you may find a variety of
plants and animals, some of which are invisible to the naked eye. There are powerful microscopes and other instruments. One of the most important tools of a scientist is his laboratory is his notebook. He always keeps very complete and accurate records of his observations and experiments.
In carrying out his work biologists use the scientific method that is:
1. They find out everything that is known about the problem by reading or by discussing the matter with others.
2. They think of several possible explanations or solutions. Some of these will prove to be wrong. One or more of the others may be right.
3. They test all the possibilities by experiments. They repeat the experiment several times. They make every effort to prevent errors.
4. When they have reached a conclusion, they inform other scientists who may repeat the work.

2. to keep healthy — быть здоровым
