If you suddenly arrived on another
planet and suspected that there was life
on the planet, how would you check to
see if it was living?
Answer
I would check for all of the
characteristics of life…
• I would poke it to see if it moves. {move, respond}
• I would look to see if there were smaller versions of
the same species. {grow, reproduce}
• I would measure it to see now and again later to see if
grows. {grow, develop}
