Brainstorming
• So, how do you know if something is alive ?
• What evidence would you look for?

Background Research
• Paired reading
• Pages 121 -127 in text book
• Make list of 6 key characteristics of living things that you were able to infer from the reading.

Now What?
• What do scientists (like you) do when they do NOT have enough information (evidence, data, knowledge) to answer the question of interest?
![Page 6: IT’S ALIVE!!. or is it??? Are viruses alive ? –How can you tell if something is alive? –What would your evidence be or look like?](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082620/5a4d1aed7f8b9ab05997bdac/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Collect more data!!!!!
• Do more research (textbook and internet).
• Design and conduct experiments to help answer the question of interest.
• Discussions and communications with other scientists studying similar questions.

Enough data??
• Now scientific knowledge must be published (communicated) for other scientists to analyze or test. Scientific information is public!
• How do you do that for this assignment?
