Concept #1 - Organism and its characteristics
There
are common features of organisms:
Learning Objectives
- To observe and record characteristics of living beings (this topic is already introduced in lower classes)
- To develop skills of observation and classification
Notes for teachers
- All organisms reproduce
- There are patterns of responsiveness and behavior
- There are geographic areas in which organisms live
- Organisms try to maintain order through self regulation
An organism is any contiguous living creature which is capable of breathing, response to stimulus, reproduction, excretion, growth and development and maintenance of homeostatis as a stable whole. An organism may be unicellular (single celled) or multi cellular( many cells). The surrounding where the organisms live is called habitat.
