Lesson 1: What Are Organisms? OMM

Getting Started (GS) Introduction p.2 Instructions p.3 1. Five traits common to living things 2. Working definition for “organism”

Time to Share!  Each student team will share their lists of traits common to living things and a visible a master list will be compiled.  Each team will share their working definitions for the term “organism.” As a class we will decide on a single definition that can be a combination of the suggestions.

Question: What determines whether or not something is “living”? What determines whether or not something is “living”?

Hypothesis: If... then… because…

Procedure: See pg 4-5  Listen carefully for the instructions for Writing Roulette and join in creating the example.

Procedure: 2. Read aloud “What’s in an Organism’s Name?” according to the teacher’s instructions.

Procedure: #3-6 Name that Organism! Caution:  Use Greek OR Latin  Print organism name on back, top line of card

Caution:  Use the correct format for writing scientific names.  1 st word (genus) capitalized  2 nd word (species) lower case  Example: Homo sapiens

Procedure: Read aloud “That’s Life” according to the teacher’s instructions. Read aloud “That’s Life” according to the teacher’s instructions.

1. See Organism Photo Cards 2. Create a new revised list of traits common to all organisms 3. Rewrite your definition of “organism” based on the procedures. Data Collection/Analysis :

 Organism  Characteristic  Linnaeus  Scientific name  Taxonomy Vocabulary:

Conclusion:  A conclusion answers the original question (look back at the question).  Be sure to write complete sentences.  Use and underline each of the vocabulary words in writing your conclusion.

New Question:  Write 3 questions about organisms you would like to answer during this semester.
