Living, Dead or Never Alive?

Lesson: Science

Our Science topic this half term is 'Our Local Environment'. We are learning about living things, habitats and microhabitats. This week we learnt about what it means to be a living thing. We learnt the acronym ‘MRS GREN’ to help us remember the characteristics of living things.

Movement

Respiration

Sensitivity

Growth

Reproduction

Excretion

Nutrition

We then took our learning outside and investigated this further. We had to find things that were living, dead or objects that had never been alive.
