STERNGRR FLIP CHART: Completed as homework

Front Cover: Synthesis Transport Excretion Regulation Nutrition Growth Respiration Reproduction

Inside: uncut portion on right side State the definition of each stage and examples using this PowerPoint.

Synthesis Definition: Examples: How organisms build necessary molecules Examples: Photosynthesis Protein Synthesis

Transport Definition: Example: Moving materials throughout an organisms system Example: Blood moving through veins Moving waste from cells to the organs of excretion

Excretion Definition: Example: The removal of waste. Getting rid of salt or water through urinary tract

Regulation Definition: Example: Maintaining an internal balance (AKA homeostasis) Example: Using hormones and our nervous system to keep our bodies at balance

Nutrition Definition: Examples: How organisms break down and absorb food Examples: Heterotroph -> Needs to eat food Autotroph -> Make their own food using photosynthesis

Growth & Development Definition: Example: Increasing in size & changing into a better form. Example: Growth is increasing in size Development is changing from a child to adult

Respiration Definition: Examples: How organisms exchange gases Anaerobic -> Does NOT use oxygen Aerobic -> Uses oxygen

Reproduction Definition: Examples: Creating offspring Asexual vs. sexual Seeds vs Spores

Inside: Cut portion on the left Complete STERNGRR on your favorite animal. You may need to google this or ask me for help in the morning and that’s okay! My example is on the next slide… We will use a Butterfly. If that’s your favorite animal sorry choose another.

Synthesis: Protein synthesis (every living creature does this) Transport: Butterflies have an open circulatory system to move blood around, this means they do not have veins. Excretion: They excrete the waste they no longer need Respiration: Butterflies breathe using spiracles Nutrition: Most butterflies consume nectar for nutrients. Growth and Development: Butterflies go through metamorphosis. Changing from an egg to larva to caterpillar then an adult butterfly. Regulation: Butterflies have hormones to help regulate their bodies. Reproduction: Butterflies reproduce sexually.
