1. Living vs. Non Living
Mr. Fox Science class

2. Living
What makes something living?

3. Living Charactistics
Homeostasis: maintaining internal balance example: sweating to reduce temperature.
Organization: having one or more cells: the basic units of life.
Metabolism: Changing nonliving materials into something usable in the body. We require energy to do everything even sleeping.
Growth: everything has to get bigger.

4. Living Characteristics
Adaptation: The ability to change over a period of time in response to the environment.
Response to stimuli: A response is often expressed by motion. Example: the leaves of a plant turning toward the sun or an animal chasing its prey.
Reproduction: The ability to produce new organisms. Reproduction can be the division of one cell to form two new cells.

6. Non living
Anything that does NOT under go the 7 things all living things have to do.
Water, Rocks, the air something that’s not living.
