Unit 1 Objectives

Properties of Life Gallery Walk (CO 1.1) Sketch the following table into your notebook Spend 1 minute at EACH station and complete table Work with tablemate ObjectIs it Alive?Was it Alive?Reasoning

Properties of Life...continued! (CO 1.1) With your table group, discuss your findings On your whiteboard, come up with a list of characteristics that you used to classify the objects as living

Properties of Life (CO 1.1) NOTES! Highly recommend you take notes during every lecture.

Growth Growth = an increase in the number of new cells

Organization Living things have certain parts that perform certain functions Ex: We are organized into systems (nervous, digestive, circulatory) Each part has a specific function!

Homeostasis Homeostasis = the ability to maintain a stable internal environment no matter what the external environment is like Ex: temperature, pH, water balance

Evolution/Adaptation Adaptations: any structure or behavior that allows an organism to survive better over the long term – Ex: desert plants can survive in the hot and dry weather because they have adaptations like shallow roots and no leaves

Metabolism The sum of all of the chemical reactions in an organism. Living things need and use energy to survive

Response Living things can RESPOND to STIMULI Stimulus = anything that causes a physical or psychological response

Reproduction Living things are able to make more of their own species Species: a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring

Acronym: GO HAM RR (go hammer?)
