How many cells do you think this organism has?

Is this considered a living thing?

Why or why not?

Draw this in your notes:

Multicellular Organisms

Unicellular Organisms

Multicellular Organisms:

• made of many different cells• Are very complex (have many

parts – legs, roots, wings)• Example: A dog

Unicellular Organisms:

• made of only one cell• Very small – too small to see

with just your eye• Example: Bacteria

BOTH:

• ALIVE (living things)

• Reproduce• Respond• Grow• Organized• MADE OF AT LEAST ONE

CELL!!!

Multicellular or Unicellular?

Group Share

Cross-Examination: Partner Swap!!!1. Swap Activating Strategy T-charts with a partner2. Check their work! Did they list anything under

“living” that might not be? Did they list anything under “non-living” that might be alive?

3. Circle all the ones that you think your partner might have gotten INCORRECT.

Group Share after Partner Swap

1. List all five characteristics of all living things. 2. What is the acronym we use to remember these characteristics?3. Give one reason why humans are considered living4. Give one reason why a rock is considered non-living 5. List one example of a living thing. (you can’t use humans…that doesn’t count….)6. List one example of a non-living thing. (you can’t use rocks…that doesn’t count…)
