Biology is the scientific study of life, a state of organic being in plants, animals, fungi, protists, and bacteria. The word biology comes from combining the Greek words "bios", meaning life, and "logos", meaning study. Entities considered to be organic life have common characteristics:
- carbon and water based,
- cellular with complex organization,
- undergo metabolism,
- possess a capacity to grow,
- respond to stimuli,
- reproduce,
- adapt ithrough natural selection in succeeding generations
Biology includes the concepts of evolution, diversity, adaptation, and interactions between organisms through disciplines such as anthropology (study of humans), botany (study of plants) and zoology (study of animals.)
The planet Earth, in the Solar System of the Milky Way Galaxy, contains about 75 billion tons of biomass (life), which live within various biomes within the biosphere. Alternate definitions of life include viruses which do not have a cell membrane or metabolize on their own, and theoretical non-carbon-based life.
Illustrations, photographs, diagrams, and charts posted on the classroom and school library walls will help elaborate and reinforce understanding of theories, experiments and observances of topics such as taxonomy, genus, species, and cycles of life.

Biology Poster Text:
Biology is the study of all the millions of kinds of organisms found on Earth, from the smallest microscopic cells to the complex interaction of many living things within an ecosystem. In an increasingly technological world it is still essential that we understand ourselves, other organisms, and our place in the environment.
Biology is as varied as the life which it studies. It includes many fascinating fields of specialized study and work, such as: Microbiology, Paleontology, Cell Biology, Marine Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, Ecology, Genetics, Zoology, and Botany.

Cell Posters -
Cells are structural and functional "building block of life". The word cell, from “cella” the Latin for small room, was adopted by English scientist Robert Hooke to describe what he saw through a microscope.

Zoology Poster
Zoology is the branch of biology that studies animals and animal life. The word zoology is from the Greek zoon = animal and logos = word.

Microbiology
Poster Text: The unseen world of bacteria, viruses, protozoans, fungi, and algae is the domain of microbiolgist. They study disease-causing organisms as well as the microbes that make life possible on our planet.
Some scientists in this field, like epidemiologists, track down the causes of new diseases thought to be viral or bacterial in nature. Other microbiologists may actually develop bacteria to produce materials like insulin for human use.

Biosphere: Adaptations & Biodiversity Poster
Poster Text: An adaption is a change in the structure or function of an organism which allows it to thrive within its environmet. It may take physical adaptation such as the size or shape of the organism or it way in whch its body works. It may also be a change in an animals behavior. Adaptation is produced through the process of natural selection. As the environment changes, organisms that cannot adapt eventually die. Individuals with the ability to adapt produce more successful offspring. These offspring may carry the adaption forward until the whole species contains organisms which are adapted to the new environment.
An organism's enviromnet consists of many important element whcih can influence adaption. Whether the climat is hot, cold, dry or wet will have an effect on all creatures that live in that environment. The presence of predators will also have an effect. Prey animals must learn to defend themselves or become adept at escaping predators.

Symbiosis Poster
Poster Text:
“Union gives strength.” Aesop
In symbiosis, two different species live closely together in a mutually beneficial relationship.
The clownfish and sea anemone have a symbiotic relationship. The clownfish is unharmed as it swims through the anemone's deadly stinging tentacles. The anemone shelters the clownfish, protecting it from other predators. In return, the clownfish cleans the anemone, shares leftovers, and fights off harmful intruders.
