Wednesday, Sept. 23rd – 4 th period 4 Bell-ringer: Review with your neighbor, the characteristics of living things and how living things are organized. Agenda: Bell-ringer Objective “Characteristics of Living things” notes “How Living Things are Organized” notes Objective: Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells, either one cell or many different numbers and types of cells (S.7.LS.1)

Write the following: Safety Rules8/24/156-7 Seventh entry… Date: 9/23/15 Description: Characteristics of Living Things Page #: 18 Observing, Analyzing, Inferring, and Hypothesizing 98/27/15 “What is Science?” and Scientific discoveries 9/1/ Scientific inquiry/method9/8/1513 9/11/15Scientific fact/theory15 All Living things Do This…9/14/15 17 Characteristics of Living Things189/23/15

Title page 18, Characteristics of Living Things Contain cells: These cells are eukaryotic or prokaryotic. All animals and plants contain eukaryotic cells. Bacteria and Achaea, are made of prokaryotic cells. Contain DNA: This is the genetic material of living things, it is contained in the nucleus. It provides all the information which is needed to make another cell. Use Energy: They use energy, that is made from eating food and the process of respiration; where sugar reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water and ATP (energy). All living things also have the following characteristics:
