Living Things

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Alive or not? After viewing this presentation, life science learners will know how to answer this question. They are introduced to the seven processes of living systems and the classification hierarchy. Because it only covers classification through the kingdom level, this is most appropriate for upper elementary life science classes.
