Grade 6 & 8 Memorial School

 We are surrounded by living and nonliving things.  The study of life is biology

Biotic is anything that is alive or has once been alive while on Earth To be alive an organism has to fit 7 distinct characteristics.

7 Features of LifeExample Feeding- take substances from the environment to grow and stay healthy Movement- internal or external Respiration- exchange of gases in the environment to breathe and sustain life Excretion- or removal of waste from the body Growth- feeding provides the body with the nutrients to become more complex over time Sensitivity- reaction to the changes around us Reproduction- producing offspring

What happens when an organism hibernates or becomes inactive or dormant?

 Abiotic - are nonliving parts of the environment.  How do you think abiotic things play a part in the ecosystem?

 Predict what would happen to Woodland Park if there was not water,sunlight, or oxygen
