Life Science
The structure, characteristics, basic needs and diversity of living organisms.

Life ScienceLife science is the study of the structure,
characteristics, basic needs and diversity of living organisms. Key components include:
• Matter, energy and organization in living systems
• Diversity and biological evolution
• Reproduction and heredity
3
Life ScienceK-2 Level Investigations
Matter, Energy and Organization in Living Systems
• 1. Investigate the basic needs of humans and other organisms.
– Humans• Food, Clothing (protection), Shelter
– Animals• Food, Shelter• Animals develop their own protection
– Plants• Correct climate, temperature, rainfall
4
Life ScienceK-2 Level Investigations
Matter, Energy and Organization in Living Systems
• 2. Compare and contrast essential characteristics that distinguish living things from nonliving things.

Life ScienceK-2 Level Investigations
Straw-wrapper Worm
• Remove straw wrapper using the closed hand and pounding it on the table
• An accordion shape results in the wrapper
• Drip one drop of water on the “worm” and watch it move

Life ScienceK-2 Level Investigations
Properties of the Nervous System
Thermal Receptors
• Three cups of water--hot, room temp, cold
• One finger in hot, one finger in cold
• Hold for a minute or two
• Place both into the water at room temperature
9
Life ScienceK-2 Level InvestigationsDiversity and Biological Evolution
• 1. Different types of plants and animals live in different parts of the world.
10
Life ScienceK-2 Level Investigations
Diversity and Biological Evolution• Habitat picture display
– Uses pictures of plants and animals from magazines or photographs of pets
– Obtain images from the Internet– Pictures are sorted according to biomes
• Natural diversity– Sort the pictures again according to
biological relationships
11
Life ScienceK-2 Level Investigations
Diversity and Biological Evolution
• 2. some kinds of organisms that once lived on earth have completely disappeared.
12
Life ScienceK-2 Level Investigations
Diversity and Biological Evolution
• Hadrosaurus foulkii was the first recognized nearly complete fossil to be discovered. The discovery was made in Haddonfield.
13
Life ScienceK-2 Level Investigations
Reproduction and Heredity
• 1. Humans and other organisms resemble their parents.
14
Life ScienceK-2 Level Investigations
Reproduction and Heredity
• Genetic variation in cats or dogs
Tailessness (Manx) Folded Ears (Scottish Fold)
Many breeds of cats come in longhair and shorthair varieties.15
Life ScienceK-2 Level Investigations
Reproduction and Heredity
• Genetic variation in cats or dogs
Hairlessness (Sphynx) Curled Ears (American Curl)
Many breeds of cats come in longhair and shorthair varieties.16
Life ScienceK-2 Level Investigations
Reproduction and Heredity
• Students can do a small webquest– American Cat Fanciers Association (ACFA)
• www.acfacat.com
– Dogs - American Kennel Club (AKC)• www.akc.org

Life Science3-5 Level Investigations
Matter, Energy and Organization in Living Systems1. Identify the roles that organisms may serve in a food chain.

Matter, Energy and Organization in Living Systems
2. Differentiate between the needs of plants and those of animals.
19
Life Science3-5 Level Investigations
Matter, Energy and Organization in Living Systems• 3. Recognize that plants and animals are composed of
different parts performing different functions and working together for the well being of the organism.
20
Life Science3-5 Level Investigations
Matter, Energy and Organization in Living Systems
• 4. Describe the basic functions of the major systems of the human body including, but not limited to: digestive system. circulatory system. respiratory system. nervous system. skeletal system. muscular system. reproductive system.
21
Life Science3-5 Level Investigations
Diversity and Biological Evolution
1. Develop a simple classification scheme for grouping organisms.
22
Life Science3-5 Level Investigations
Diversity and Biological Evolution2. Recognize that individuals vary within every species, including humans.
23
Life Science3-5 Level Investigations
Reproduction and Heredity1. Identify different stages in the lives of various organisms.

Properties of the Nervous System
Touch Receptors
• Adjust two toothpicks to various distances beginning with 1 mm.
• Touch various parts of the body to determine if one or two points are felt.
• Make a data table in your Science Journal

Life ScienceHabitat Picture Display
• Four basic biomes– Tundra– Forest (pine forest, deciduous forest, rain
forest)– Grassland– Desert
• Suggested activities covered in presentation– Uses pictures of plants and animals from
magazines or photographs of pets– Obtain images from the Internet– Pictures are sorted according to biomes

Environmental ScienceUnderstanding of the environment as a system
of interdependent components affected by human activity and natural phenomena
35
Environmental ScienceEnvironmental science includes the study of the environment as a system of interdependent components affected by human activity and natural phenomena.
Key components include:
• A. Natural Systems and Interactions
• B. Human Interactions and Impact
36
Environmental ScienceK-2 Level Investigations
Natural Systems and Interactions
• 1. Associate organisms' basic needs with how they meet those needs within their surroundings.
37
Environmental ScienceK-2 Level Investigations
Natural Systems and Interactions
• The four natural resources
– sun, rocks/soil, air, water
38
Environmental ScienceK-2 Level Investigations
Human Interactions and Impact
