What distinguishes living things from non-living things? Throughout history, various societies have defined life differently. Based on your scientific experience, what is your definition? How has it changed as you have progressed through your education? What makes water unique? How are these properties important to life?

In Science experiments, it is very important to “control the variables” so that there is only ONE independent variable and ONE dependent variable. We “control the variables” by making anything else that could change during the experiment into a constant. For example, if you are doing an experiment to find out what material can hold more water, then it is important to make sure all the materials you are testing are the same size. Why is it so important to control the variables? What would happen if we did not control them?
In your body, you have systems (digestive system, circulatory system, etc.). Each system is made up of organs. Each organ is made up of tissues. Each tissue is made up of cells. Each cell is made up of chemicals. What characteristic of life is being demonstrated by all this?
