  1. Bell Work May 6, 2013 Life In Our Universe • Write your heading on your paper • Number your paper from 1 to 6 • Scientists say that all living things do 6 actions • List six things that all living things do • (1) • (2) • (3) • (4) • (5) • (6)

  2. Notes 8th Grade Science Life In Our Universe • (A) Divide the class into small groups • Does life exist elsewhere in the universe? • (B) Each group decides yes or no and provides a reason to support their group decision • What would such life be like? (In other words what are the requirements for life? • (C) Look at the following slides of the diverse examples of life on Earth

  16. Notes Life In Our Universe • What do all living things (on Earth) have in common? • each group will determine three things that all living things have in common. • Is it logical to assume that life elsewhere in the universe would also have these things in common? • Each group determines yes or no and must be prepared to explain their group answer

  17. Notes Life In Our Universe What are the 6 requirements for life? (according to science) (1) Use energy (2) Respond to stimuli (3) Regulate its internal structure to maintain a stable condition (4) Reproduce (5) Adapt to their environment (6) Grow

  18. Notes Life In Our Universe • What are the 6 requirements for life? • (according to science) • Each group will choose one life form from Earth and list how it displays the 6 characteristics • Example: Tiger • Use energy: Tigers burn calories from the meat they eat in order to move and sustain life functions • (2) Respond to stimuli: 5 senses • (3) Regulate its internal structure to maintain a stable condition: Tigers are warm blooded and regulate their body temperature by panting (like a dog)(

  19. Notes Life In Our Universe • What are the 6 requirements for life? • (according to science) • Each group will choose one life form from Earth and list how it displays the 6 characteristics • Example: Tiger • (4) Reproduce: Tigers reproduce sexually • (5) Adapt to their environment: Tigers adapted stripes as camouflage • (6) Grow: Tigers start out as small cubs and grow to be hundreds of pounds in weight.
