Exploring Scientific Principles and the Scientific Method in Everyday Life
BIO/101 what is life?
Part I: Media Relevancy
Read each statement. Write a 100-word summary explaining how the chosen media piece
supports the statement. Include reference citations.
1. Find a media piece—article, video, presentation, song, or other that recognizes the
fundamental concepts of chemistry in biology. Include a link or reference citation for the piece
and describe how it helped you better understand how fundamental concepts of chemistry affect
biology
2. Find a media piece—article, video, presentation, song, or other that describes the energy
metabolism of cells. Include a link or reference citation for the piece and describe how it helped
you better understand the energy metabolism of cells
3. Find a media piece—article, video, presentation, song, or other that compares the structures
and functions of different cell types. Include the link or reference citation for the piece and
describe how it helped you better compare structures and functions of different cell types
4. Find a media piece—article, video, presentation, song, or other related to the scientific
method, creating hypotheses, or designing experiments. Include the link or reference citation for

Part II: Applying Science to Everyday Life
Recently, Earl attended a picnic at his daughter's school. The picnic was a potluck, and the food
was served outdoors. Contributions included hamburgers, hot dogs, baked beans, potato chips,
potato salad, coleslaw, apple pie, and vanilla ice cream. Within 24 hours of the picnic, several
attendees developed symptoms of food poisoning. Of the 50 people who attended the picnic,
only 30 people became ill. Every person at the picnic ate something, but not every person had an
opportunity to sample each item. Earl noticed that the potato salad he started to eat was warm.
He also noticed that his hamburger was somewhat pink in the middle and not fully cooked. Earl
wonders if eating the hamburgers or the potato salad could be responsible for making some
attendees ill. Earl has begun to apply the scientific method to this common problem. Complete
each of the following tasks in 200 to 300 words.
1. How would the scientific method help Earl create an experiment to determine which food
sources made people sick?
2. Describe the steps of the scientific method Earl utilized
3. Describe the remaining steps Earl will use if he decides to use the scientific method to
determine what made the people sick.
