What are the 3 main points of the cell theory?
OBJ- I can demonstrate understanding of the
characteristics of life by completing a chart with 80%
or higher accuracy.
Instructional Strategies:
Methods/Activities –
 Students will be given a Space science test
review sheet. (Test will be Thursday)
 Card sort activity (Students will sort many
items as either Alive, Not Alive, or Was Once
Alive)
 Students will then use their sort to come up
with a list of the “characteristics of life”
 After discussion, students will complete
characteristics of life chart using notes and
their book.
 Students will complete a homework sheet
checking their understanding.
