Signs of life

7A Signs of life - Life on Mars?

If scientists really did discover aliens. How would we know if they are alive?

A simple way of sorting everything on our planet is to divide it into 2 groups – living things and non-living things.

But can you tell the difference?

7A Signs of life - Life on Mars?

7A Signs of life - Staying alive

There are seven essential life processes. To remember these processes meet our little blue woman MS. R. NERG…

What do all the letters in her name stand for?

7A Signs of life – The meaning of life

7A Signs of life - The meaning of life

S = SENSITIVITYLiving things notice and react to changes intheir surroundings. They can respond to light, heat, sound, taste, sight or touch.

R = RESPIRATIONLiving things need energy to carry out thefunctions that keep them alive. Respiration is the process by which food is turned into energy.

M = MOVEMENTLiving things are able to move about. Animals move from place to place. Plants move by responding to light.

7A Signs of life - The meaning of life

R = REPRODUCTIONLiving things produce offspring. Reproduction continues the survival of each species.

G = GROWTHLiving things grow, increasing in size and complexity.

N = NUTRITIONLiving things need to take in food so that respiration can occur. Nutrients in food help to build, maintain and repair the organism.

E = EXCRETIONLiving things have to get rid of unwanted waste products.

All living things carry out the seven essential life processes.

But what are living things made of?

The Epistemic Apprenticeship

An ‘epistemic apprenticeship’

19th century clerk?• Being right• Copying down• Listening to teacher• Accepting what you’re told• Working alone• Remembering facts• Following instructions• Being evaluated

21st century explorer?• Being adventurous• Creating ideas• Discussing with peers• Questioning things• Working as a team• Imagining possible solutions• Showing initiative• Self-evaluating

The thinking behind BLP

• Education is a preparation for the future– Not just for further study or job slots

• It’s for all– Not just the ‘bright’

• The future is challenging, demanding, uncertain– You need to be able to think, choose, learn and change

• If you are not prepared, you shrink and/or damage– Timid, insecure, bigoted…

• It’s about habits and attitudes as much as skills – e.g. reading pleasure vs. reading levels

• They need to be cultivated over time– Not a quick fix or a bolt-on

• It’s not Either/Or, Stupid– The aim is results PLUS ‘learning power’
