Properties of Life

As you study biology, it is important to be able to describe the characteristics that allow you to identify “living” vs. “nonliving” things. Review the characteristics of living things in Chapter 1 and in this video:

Create and post your own visual summary of the characteristics of life. This can be any presentation of the material that is visually descriptive, uses color to create interest/command attention, and summarizes the seven requirements that are used to classified something as “living.”

Apply these 7 criteria (properties of life) to at least four things- two of which are determined to be living and two of which are determined to be nonliving (do not use water as one of your examples, as it is the example used in the assigned video). Be as creative as you like, but post a visual that helps you to learn and remember these characteristics.
