    The document describes a lab where students are tasked with determining whether various objects are alive, dormant, never alive, dead, or products of living things. Students must analyze each object based on characteristics of life like growth, organization, response to stimuli, homeostasis, adaptation, reproduction, and metabolism. They will record their analysis of six different stations and objects. The goal is for students to learn about and be able to define the key characteristics that distinguish living from non-living things.

    Characteristics of Life Lab

    Problem: Scientists use the following characteristics of life to determine if an object is alive. Even if
    one characteristic is missing, the object can not be alive. Write a definition for each of the following
    main characteristics of life:
    Growth: _______________________________________________________________
    Organization: ____________________________________________________________
    Response to Stimuli: _______________________________________________________
    Homeostasis: ____________________________________________________________
    Adapt: ________________________________________________________________
    Reproduction: ___________________________________________________________
    Metabolism: ____________________________________________________________
    Experiment: Around the room, there are different stations, each with an object. You must
    determine the current condition of the object:
    Alive
    Dormant
    Never alive
    Dead
    A product of a living thing

    You must state the current condition of the material (underlined above) and your reasoning
    behind each decision. Cross-out each characteristic the object currently exhibits at each
    station.
