Expert science blends biology, chemistry, and physics with numbers and systems.

  • Calculate from formulas. Speed = distance / time; work = force x distance; density = mass / volume; acceleration = change in velocity / time.
  • Energy through trophic levels. Only about 10% of energy passes up each level of a food chain.
  • Negative feedback. The body senses a change and acts to reverse it -- as insulin lowers high blood sugar.
  • Evaluate the evidence. A valid conclusion needs a control group, enough samples, and only one changed variable.
Blood Glucose After a Meal Blood glucose Time normal range meal rises after eating returns to normal
