  1. Characteristics of Living Things

  2. 7 Characteristics of Living Things • Movement • Growth & Development • Sensitivity • Reproduction • Use of Energy • Made of Cells • Eliminate Waste

  3. Movement • Living things move • They either move externally (like animals) or parts of them can move (like plants)

  4. Growth and Development • Living things grow • Living things change as they age • A seed growing into a plant • A small child growing into a human • A caterpillar growing into a butterfly

  5. Sensitivity • Living things respond to the environment around them • If something hurts they move, if something is threatening they move

  6. Reproduction • Living things must make more of themselves • Can be done by • Creating a seed like a plant • Creating a baby like animals • Creating a duplicate like bacteria

  7. Use of Energy • All living things need energy to function • They will either make their own energy (plants, some bacteria) or they will have to consume something to get that energy (animals)

  8. Made of Cells • Living things are made up of cells • This could mean one cell, or many cells

  9. Eliminate Waste • The cells of all living things produce waste • Living things must be able to get rid of this waste in order to survive
