The document outlines 5 key scientific principles: 1) The scientific method which involves systematic observation, hypothesis, experimentation and conclusion. 2) Conservation of energy which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed. 3) Evolution by natural selection which explains how species change over time through variation, inheritance and selection. 4) Cell theory stating that all living things are made of cells, the basic unit of life. 5) Atomic theory that matter is made up of atoms, the smallest particles that retain an element's properties.

1. The scientific method: a systematic approach to scientific inquiry that
involves observation, hypothesis, experimentation, and conclusion. 2. Conservation of energy: energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transferred or transformed. 3. Evolution by natural selection: the mechanism by which species change over time through the processes of variation, inheritance, and selection. 4. Cell theory: all living organisms are composed of one or more cells, which are the basic unit of life. 5. Atomic theory: all matter is composed of atoms, which are the smallest particles that retain the properties of an element.
