Students must evaluate and classify various specimens to determine if they meet agreed upon criteria for life. The unit emphasizes the ways in which different organisms perform the same life functions, and reveals that non-living things may appear to perform some functions but do not perform all functions. The unit culminates in the relation that all living things are made of cells.

This culminating activity has students creating a brochure or presentation on a National Park of their choice based on differentiated guidelines and rubrics.
