Today we did a mini lab on viruses and tried to determine if they are alive or not. Remember anything that is living must meet the 6 characteristics of living things:
All living things are made up of cells
All living things respond to their environment
All living things use energy for growth and maintenance
All living things reproduce.
All living things grow and develop
All living things adapt to their environment
Now as we discussed in class, some people believe viruses are alive and some do not, but the important thing is to be able to support YOUR idea as to which is correct or not!
Tomorrow is our Intro to Microscopes Lab, and our pep rally for the big game against those guys from across town, I cant remember their name, SO EVERYONE WEAR BLUE TOMORROW!!!!
