Distinguishing between living and nonliving things is not always as easy as it sounds. There is no single criterion used to identify whether something is living. Any living thing can be classified as an organism. Living organisms can vary in size from microscopic bacteria to giant sequoia trees. Living organisms have different behaviors as well as different needs. Despite these differences, all living organisms carry on life processes and have similar characteristics and traits.

GREAT ICEBREAKER! INCLUDES THE LESSON PLAN I begin EVERY year with this lesson. Students begin by watching a video on innovation and ends with towers made of mini marshmallows and spaghetti! Helps students learn teamwork while doing a great hands on activity. It helps them to explore the word "innovation" Great introduction to the scientific method or "what is physical science?" MY MIDDLE SCHOOLERS LOVE THIS ACTIVITY
In this hands on investigation students are placed in groups and they feed yeast sugar in a beaker with water, make a wet mount slide and view it under the microscope. They are observing the asexual reproduction (budding) of the yeast. With my higher order thinkers we talk about respiration and the reactants and products (carbon dioxide & ethanol) that are created. Lab includes: small reading (introduction) easy to follow procedures (student directions) microscope observation drawing circle

Students compare the chemical reaction of photosynthesis to the chemical reaction of cellular respiration. They will use an indicator bromothymol blue (BTB) to observe how their breath when blowing through a straw affects the BTB and how alka seltzer affects the BTB. They will then learn about the carbon cycle and connect it to cellular respiration and photosynthesis. This lab is set up in a 5E model (engage, explore, explain, extend/elaborate, evaluate). Product includes introduction readin
