  2. Targets Investigation 1 • I can explain the differences between living, nonliving, and dead.

  3. What is Life? Observe the activities in the Petri dish. Fill in your handout

  4. Characteristics of Living Things

  5. Sorting Living/Nonliving Cards

  6. Miniponds We will be looking at many different types of living organisms. It is important to provide each of them with an appropriate habitat. Some of them are small aquatic organisms. We need to put together a Minipond habitat now so it will be nicely aged and ready in a couple of weeks when it is time to start work with aquatic organisms.

  7. Online – Living or Nonliving http://www.fossweb.com/delegate/ssi-foss-ucm/Contribution%20Folders/FOSS/multimedia_ms_1E/DiversityofLife/menu.html Go to the lab: Living or Non-Living Game

  8. Prepare Minipond • Place thedryleaves (no green leaves) and pebbles you brought from home in a container. (Use a Ziploc bag to bring the materials.) • Add filtered water. • Write the period on blue tape.

  9. Characteristics of Living Things • Moves • Exchanges gases • Responds to the environment • Reproduces • Needs food (energy) • Removes waste • Grows • Needs water • Made of cells • Has DNA

  10. Vocabulary Lesson 1 Organism Any living thing – plant, animal, or other

  11. Dormant • Some things do not show evidence of life until they are placed in the right environment. • Dormant organisms are alive, but inactive. = +

  12. Dead Things are dead if they were alive at one time but no longer are. Animals that have died, and leaves that have fallen off trees are all dead materials
