Sample Teaching Module in Exobiology Snipped from the on-line course Exobiology for High School Students by Steve Brown, Science Teacher at La Jolia High School http://ljhs.sdcs.k12.ca.us/faculty/SBrown/exobiology/contents.html One Thread of BioPoint, an on-line Full-year Secondary Biology Course (which in turn is a thread of the Science Learning Network) [Science Learning Network: http://www.sln.org/ ABSTRACT Exobiology is a discipline that deals with the origin, occurrence and distribution of life in the Universe. Although this subject is of widespread interest to high school science students, it is not generally dealt with comprehensively in most textbooks. In addition, teachers often have inadequate resources available to prepare classroom presentations on how life may have begun on Earth and whether these processes might take place elsewhere in the solar system and the Universe. This module provides introductory teaching lessons for classroom coverage of Exobiology and the origin of life that is suitable for use in both general and advanced high school biology courses. INTRODUCTION Any discussion of the origin of life must first consider the definition of life. This Exobiology teaching module defines life is an autonomous replicating system that evolves by natural selection. With this definition, the origin of life is synonymous with the origin of evolution. The transition from the abiotic chemistry of the primitive Earth to the first self-replicating molecular systems capable of undergoing Darwinian evolution marked the point of the origin of life. On Earth, subsequent evolution of these self-replicating molecules then gave rise to the RNA world and ultimately the DNA/protein world that is characteristic of all modern life.

Exobiology and Astrobiology: the New Science Overview Links Scientists Widen the Hunt for Alien Life (excellent) " ... a quiet revolution is now challenging this view and shaking the foundations of exobiology, the study of the possibility of life elsewhere in the cosmos. Alien life, the new thinking goes, might not actually need the warming rays of a nearby star. It might thrive inside dim moons and planets. The dark ecosystems would be warmed by inner heat, bathed in melted ice and powered by chemicals." New York Times, 5/6/97 The Search for Life on Other Planets (book summary) " In The Search for Life on Other Planets, Jakosky offers a scientific foundation for thinking there may be life elsewhere in the Universe. Using the early history of the Earth and the conditions that would allow life to exist, he creates a sound, scientific foundation for the possibility of life on planets other than our own."

John Whitfield John Whitfield is a science writer based in London. Top of page Abstract Scientists find it hard enough to pin down evidence of early life on our own planet. How on Earth do we plan to determine whether life exists elsewhere? John Whitfield finds out. Galileo, admittedly, was not designed to detect life. And it did have a rather distant view of our planet, with only hints from the atmosphere to work out what was going on at the surface. But some dedicated, close-up examinations have proven no more conclusive. Efforts to detect faint traces of life in Earth's oldest rocks, some 4 billion years old, and in martian rocks that have fallen to Earth, have likewise produced results that are both ambiguous and disputed; claims of errors in procedure and interpretation fly back and forth with regularity.

Ask a resident biologist: creating believable aliens We live with biological laws every day of our lives, just as we do with physical ones. When a cartoon character bounces with a jerk, it looks wrong whether you or I know anything about the math or not. The same is true of biology, in a less obvious way. Imagine flying lobsters, and you'll know what I mean. As a person who taught college biology for years, and whose research specialty was evolution in orchids, I have a thing or two to say about possible and impossible developments in aliens. (Some of my friends would insist I always have a thing or two to say.) In They came from Outer Space: creating Believable Aliens (SFWA Bulletin, 1997), I talk about why there are no little green men, or aliens with two heads, or slime that composes poetry. This is going to be true even for life as we don't know it. You can bet on it. I'll be glad to bet on it with you. On the other hand, there's probably a world somewhere with sentient jellyfish that have external digestion. If you're curious about something you've seen in books or the media, or if you'd like a biologist's input for something you're writing, let's discuss it! (quoll at molvray dot com)

Exobiology Exobiology Bioastronomy, astrobiology, exobiology Whatever you call it, it’s all the same—the study of the origins of life and in particular its evolution, its distribution across Earth and the universe, and the structures and processes involved. Scientific advances have enabled us to detect life in the most unexpected places. The existence of living organisms in some of Earth’s most extreme environments has led to serious consideration of their existence elsewhere in the universe. Since Earth is as yet the only planet where life is known to have developed in all its diversity, scientists use it as a starting point in their search throughout the solar system for signs of organic activity—the carbon-based elements capable of generating new life systems. Jargon Organic In biology, the term organic applies to anything involving organs, living tissues and—by extension—organized life forms. Organic chemistry, as opposed to mineral chemistry, deals with the study of compounds and in particular carbon compounds. What’s the connection? The basic building blocks of life, such as proteins and nucleic acids, consist of chains of elements based on carbon compounds.

I don’t see that either scenario has any impact on Christian theology. “I've been hearing through the blogosphere that some scientists are saying they are close to creating artificial life.” i) Scientists wouldn’t be creating life from scratch, a la creation ex nihilo. They would be imitating rather than creating life. a) They would be working with preexisting materials, since God already created all the raw materials. b) They would also be working with a how-to manual or blueprint for life, since all you have to do is take an organism apart to see how it was put together in the first place. It’s like saying that if you hand a chef a recipe as well as the ingredients, he can “create” a meal. Well, in a very derivative sense—yes. But he could only cook up the meal because he already had the recipe and the ingredients. And even if we carry this back a step, the farmer doesn’t really create the produce. He plants seeds in the ground. But all the initial conditions have to be in place. He doesn’t create the initial conditions.

SIGNIFICANCE AND STATUS OF EXOBIOLOGY A paper presented at the annual meeting of A.I.B.S., Boulder, Colorado, on August 26, 1964 GILBERT V. LEVIN Hazleton Laboratories, Inc., Falls Church, Virginia ABSTRACT Although there are no direct data on extraterrestrial life, planetary observations and statistical considerations support the possibility of such life. The significance of the questions the “science” of exobiology may answer warrants its active pursuit. These questions range from whether life exists elsewhere to fundamental inquiries in all the sciences. The title of this paper, “Significance and Status of Exobiology,” has been carefully selected. The significance of the term “exobiology” is in dispute and there are those who declare that the subject has no status . The term is of recent origin and is intended to denote the study of extraterrestrial life. The argument arises not only from those normally protesting the adulteration of the English language with newly-coined words but from those who literally interpret the prefix “exo” as meaning “out of, outside, or outer layer.” Some contend that a better term would be “xenobiology” in that the prefix “xeno” connotes “strange or foreign.” Others feel that “biology” is sufficient, for it would encompass extraterrestrial creatures. These arguments may have semantic merit, but “exobiology” has been adopted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and is now a part of the literature. A dispute over nomenclature should not discourage biologists from pursuing the subject.
