Today in class we first talked about our project. Our homework was to vote for three of the best presentations on the characteristics of live. We are sending the best three of each class to a third grade class in chatam.Next Mr. Finley asked us if we were studying our cell parts. When most of the class said that they had been studying,Mr. Finley asked us if we would be ready to take a test.Instantly most people said that they were not ready to take the test.with that,Mr.Finley brought up the subject we had to talk to our parents for homework. We had to think of evidence that a dead organism is alive on a cellular scale. To give an example Mr. Finley told us how is dad once cut of his finger. He gave us the question, are the cells inside the finger still alive? We had a argument whether it is good to put ice one the finger. which led to a whole other discussion.Then Mr.Finley asked us to think about soemthing. Lets say that you deside to be a good eater. No more fatty foods. you deside to go and buy a salad. Is it alive? We had a large discussion. towards the end we started to come to the conclusion that, the organism is dead,however the cell is alive.
Mr. Finley ask us about celerly, when it goes bad we desided that parts of the cells parts break down, for example in the case of the celery, the cell wall would break down and there will be no more structure.
