Biology is the study of life and living things called organisms. Organisms can be human, animal, or plants. In the end they all rely on each other for survival. Organisms grow, change, reproduce, and die.  This is called a Life Cycle, and every organism goes through one.  In addition, a specimen is a sample that you study in whatever type of Biology you are doing.  Scientists use microscopes and a slide to observe what is going on in the specimen. 

Sometimes we think we know ourselves, but we don't including me. You definitely know lot's of things about yourself, but there are so many more important things you could learn about yourself.  The main thing most people don't know about themselves is how they feel on a deeper level.  Brains are very good at knowing when you are upset or happy, but they are bad at knowing what's making you feel that way. A big part of philosophy is asking questions. Since we are talking about feelings this can look like Why am i upset? What made me this way? Who has me upset?.  We can work on knowing how we feel by starting to ask questions, and better explaining what we are going through.  Journaling can definitely help with understand emotions. 

Philosophy is the love of wisdom. It can help you understand life in many different ways. It helps us live wise lives, while reacting to situations calmly and accepting the outcome. It helps to teach us wise ways to handle things. For example if your mom lost her car keys, she could either scream at people or handle it calmly by understanding that car keys get lost at times. Then she can move forward calmly. Philosophy helps us handle problems with out reacting to it in an aggressive way.
