Essential Learning: I can identify and differentiate the concepts of living, non-living, dead and dormant.
Part 1: What is Life?All living things share all the same characteristics:
• need nutrients for energy • require water • exchange gases • eliminate waste • grow • respond to environmental stimuli • reproduce + are made of cell or cells |
Part 2: Is Anything Alive•We distinquish whether materials placed in different aquatic environments have evidence of life.
• We discover how living defines anything alive, dead or dormant. • When something is dormant, it is living, but so slowly is seems inactive. Nonliving things have never lived, will never live and can never live. Like robots, clouds, rain, etc. . . |
