What Does it Mean to be Alive?
(1) What does it mean to be alive?
The things that make living things alive have to reproduce, have cells, grow, have energy, and adapt to the environment.
(2) Why did you classify these things as alive?
I classify these things as alive because if they weren't apart of humans we wouldn't be alive at all, and we might be living from other chemicals or substances. all the things that make us alive are alive too.
(3) Do living things depend on nonliving things in their environment to survive? How?
I think living things do depend on nonliving things because humans used to use rocks long ago as weapons and tools, just like other animals or creatures.
(4) What common properties do all forms of life share?
Common properties that all forms of life share are cells, having blood, having energy, and many more. we all have brains, bones, hearts, and legs or arms.
* Does life need a star/heat?
Some creatures do need heat, but most don't need a star to live. Us humans mostly need heat, because we're all warm blooded. but not everyone. Without heat we could probably even freeze to death, unless we figure out a way to keep ourselves warm every single day.

What Does it Mean to be Alive Presentation
In class today I learned from other students presentations that there are many different ways to make a presentation. One thing I learned academically was that its hard but sometimes easy to respond and adapt to new environments. One thing that was different between my presentation and another students was they had slightly different definitions for some of the characteristics for life. One thing that was similar between my presentation and another students was that almost everything was the same, a lot of us had pictures for each slide and had wrote the definition about the characteristic.
