Characteristics of Living Organisms

(0)
What is it? An interactive resource designed to enhance understanding of the basic principles of living things. This resource engages students in a practical exploration of what differentiates living organisms from non-living and once-living objects. By focusing on real-world objects and using the MRS GREN criteria (Movement, Respiration, Sensitivity, Growth, Reproduction, Excretion, Nutrition), students work in groups or individually to classify objects and discuss their findings. What’s Included? A series of worksheets centered around a variety of objects. Guidance for teachers on how to use the resource and facilitate discussions. Flexibility for teachers to choose objects based on availability and educational goals. Designed to promote group collaboration and individual thinking, this resource provides an interactive approach to learning. Students will use critical thinking to classify objects and understand what truly defines living organisms. This resource is an excellent way to make biology relatable and fascinating for students! Key Skills Developed Critical Thinking: - Encourages students to analyze and categorize objects based on biological criteria. Collaboration - Fosters teamwork and communication, especially in group settings. Scientific Inquiry - Enhances understanding of basic biology concepts and the MRS GREN criteria. Presentation Skills - Develops students’ abilities to present and justify their conclusions to the class. Engagement with Science - Makes learning about living organisms interactive and relatable.
