Charateristics of Life

Sadly Mr. Finley could not give us a pop quiz today :( But the good news is that we have a quiz on Monday that's harder! The quiz is on labeling cells and knowing where they are. Today in science class Mr. Finley lit a candle and tyred to prove that fire can reproduce, and he proved it right that fire can reproduce. Today we looked at a slide show and took notes on it. a lot of us did not finish so it is now homework yay! In the slides it talked about how all living things share some basic properties. for instance, all living things share Cellular Organization, reproduction, Metabolism (obtain and Use energy), Homeostasis, Heredity, Responsiveness, Growth and Development, and Adapt through evolution. the slide also gives examples and definition of each part of characteristics of life.
Mr. Finley said something about are homework that we did on wed. He said something like "for your homework you did last night on seeing if you agree with the book and you think the facts, and that there are only 4 characteristics in living things, but if you didn't agree with the book and you think there are more then 4 characteristics then ,you had to give me more examples and reasons why." He also said to think about the 4 characteristics because we are doing more with them on Monday after the "Pop Quiz"
*REMEMBER WE HAVE A POP QUIZ ON MONDAY ON LABELLING CELLS AND KNOWING WHAT THEY ARE. THE CELLS YOU HAVE TO LABEL ARE THE ANIMAL CELL AND THE PLANT CELL SO STUDY HARD AND GOOD LUCK ON MONDAY!*

  2. Fire does not have cells and is not living. Fire is a chemical reaction that creates light and heat.
