On the first day of class we discussed the Scientific Method.
1. Observation
2. Hypothesis
3. Data Collection
4. Theory
5. Law
We also went over the 4 criteria for life.
1. All life has DNA.
2. All living things have a system for converting and using energy (Metabolism).
3. All organisms Respond to their Environment.
4. All living creatures Reproduce.

From there we expanded on Metabolism and focused on the 3 categories that all living things fall into.

1. Producers
2. Consumers

3. Decomposers

That's about all for the first class. I hope everyone learned a lot. God Bless!
