Study Notes
Classroom Expectations
- Keep notes neat and use devices appropriately
- Raise hands to answer questions
- Listen to others speaking
- Try hard, even if unsure
- Be polite and respectful to others
- Be safe and avoid risky behavior
What Do All Living Organisms Do/Need?
- Movement: Muscle action in animals
- Respiration: Releasing energy from food
- Sensitivity: Detecting environmental changes
- Growth: Increasing size and complexity using food
- Reproduction: Producing offspring
- Excretion: Removing waste products
- Nutrition: Obtaining energy (animals eat other organisms, plants photosynthesize)
What am I? (Possible Cell)
- Cellular components like cell wall, chloroplasts, vacuole, ribosomes
- Cell wall provides strength and shape
- Chloroplasts are for photosynthesis
- Vacuoles store water, food, and waste
- Ribosomes make proteins
- Cell membrane separates the inside from outside
- Cytoplasm holds organelles and is where metabolic reactions occur
- Nucleus controls cell activities, storing genetic information
Task: Does it Meet the Characteristics of Life?
- Analyze a chosen object (e.g., a plant, animal, or fire)
- Determine how it meets or does not meet the characteristics of life (movement, respiration, etc.)
