Biology - Life Properties Video
Please watch this video and take notes over the content. Pause/rewind as often as you need to so that you can take them at your own pace. Also, re-wind the video when needed if you have questions about the content. After watching the video and taking notes, answer the two questions at the end of the assignment. Please answer in complete sentences. The copy machine question will take some thought .... look at it from the stand point of what life characteristics does it possess, and which ones are NOT present in the copy machine to keep it from being alive.
When you go to turn in the assignment, don't reply.....click on the "Turn In" button and submit it that way. I'll help you if there are any questions. If you have problems with Edmodo, you can always E Mail me the assignment.
