Lesson Plan: Characteristics of Living Things. Review with students these six easily observable characteristics of living things: movement (which may occur internally, or even at the cellular level) growth and development response to stimuli reproduction use of energy cellular structure The student data table includes links to all the information and videos necessary to complete this activity.

Entire class—projecting the videos Click on each link in the "Category" column on the data table. Students can take turns reading the introductions aloud. Show the videos and have the students complete the data table for each organism. Individual work Provide students with the URL for the student pages (www.exploratorium.edu/imaging_station/students/Characteristics_Student.doc). Defining "life" is a very difficult task, and scientists don’t all agree on a common list of the characteristics of life.

Characteristics of Living Things All organisms use energy (metabolism). The 7 Characteristics of Life. The 7 Characteristics of Life: 1. Living Things are Composed of Cells: Single-cell organisms have everything they need to be self-sufficient. In multicellular organisms, specialization increases until some cells do only certain things. 2. Levels of Organization: Both molecular and cellular organization. 3. Living things take in energy and use it for maintenance and growth. 4. Living things will make changes in response to a stimulus in their environment. 5. Cell division - the orderly formation of new cells. 6. Reproduction is not essential for the survival of individual organisms, but must occur for a species to survive. 7.

Adaptations are traits giving an organism an advantage in a certain environment. Questions: 1. 2. 3. Yola - Make a Free Website. Home | Massa2014. Online Programming Courses, Learn Programming Online | LearnStreet. Information means: | English Vocabulary.
