Objectives

Be able to determine whether something is a living thing or a non-living thing.

Learn and understand the 6 main characteristics of living things.

First Characteristic of Living Things

The first characteristic of living things is that they are all composed of cells.

Cells are the itsy bitsy puzzle pieces that make up all living things.

Unicellular OrganismsEntire organism is made up of one single cell

Bacteria and protists

Smallest unit capable of all life functions

This is maintaining the normal conditions inside of their bodies.

Respond and adapt to their environment
