Scientific Method
Field Observations vs. Controlled Experiments
1. Field Observations (in situ)• Natural setting
• Uncontrolled variables
• Examples?
2. Controlled Experiment (usually ex situ)• Fewer uncontrolled variables
• Test one or a few variable(s) at a time
• Artificial setting (especially ex situ)

HistoryA. Early History
1. Aristotle – Described forms, recognized gills
2. Explorers (Eriksson, Columbus, Magellan, Drake) – Learned about winds, currents, physical characteristics

HistoryA. Early History
1. Cook (1768-1779) – Took full-time naturalist on crew
2. Darwin (1831-1836) – Sailed on HMS Beagle– Collected plankton
– Proposed theory of coral atoll formation
– Studied and described barnacles

HistoryB. Oceanographic Expeditions
• Began in mid 1800s
• Edward Forbes (British)• Father of Biological Oceanography• Sampled sea floor life extensively• First to recognize that different organisms are found at different depths
• Before Forbes’ time, many people regarded the deep ocean as azoic
• Early work by Rosses showed life on deep sea floor
