Study Notes
- Living things grow, get bigger, and make new cells.
- Living things can develop or change in form or function over time.
- A caterpillar grows, it changes and develops into a butterfly through metamorphosis.
- A sunflower grows from a seed into a giant sunflower.
- Living things respond to stimuli from their environment.
- Living things sense and then possibly change or even move.
- A plant grows toward the light and leaves, if there is too much sun, humans sweat when they are hot.
- Living things reproduce so the species can continue.
- Reproduction can be sexual or asexual.
- Humans reproduce sexually.
- Bacteria reproduce asexually by binary fission.
- Living things eliminate waste products from their body.
- Humans excrete waste in the form of urine and feces and carbon dioxide.
- Sunflowers release oxygen through the stomata in their leaves.
Key Steps in Investigating Living Things:
