How many cells do you think you have in your body? About 10 TRILLION CELLS

How many cells do you think this organism has? Is this considered a living thing? Why or why not?

How are bacteria and buffalos similar? How are they different?

Prefixes: Uni vs. Multi UnicornMulticolor UnicycleMulticultural UniformMultimillionaire UnifyMultilingual UnilateralMultipurpose

Draw this in your notes: Multicellular Organisms Unicellular Organisms

Multicellular Organisms: made of many different cells Are very complex (have many parts – legs, roots, wings) Example: A dog

Unicellular Organisms: made of only one cell Very small – too small to see with just your eye Example: Bacteria

BOTH: ALIVE (living things) Reproduce Respond Grow Organized MADE OF AT LEAST ONE CELL!!!

Multicellular or Unicellular? Student Action: HOLD UP AN M OR A U

Did they list anything under “non-living” that might be alive? 3.Circle all the ones that you think your partner might have gotten INCORRECT. Group Share after Partner Swap

1. List all five characteristics of all living things. 2. What is the acronym we use to remember these characteristics? 3. Give one reason why humans are considered living 4. Give one reason why a rock is considered non-living 5. List one example of a living thing. (you can’t use humans…that doesn’t count….) 6. List one example of a non-living thing. (you can’t use rocks…that doesn’t count…) Warm Up #3: Wednesday, Oct. 5
