characteristics of life poster Rubric



Visualizing the Characteristics of
Living Things Poster
Background: From our Cells Unit, we have been learning about the characteristics necessary for life. The six characteristics are broad enough to include the great diversity of life on Earth, from the 2700 known bacterial species to the more than 1.5 million named animal species!
Activity: You will create a poster that represents the six characteristics of life. Listed below are the items needed on your poster to obtain full credit. You will be graded using the poster rubric. Remember – posters grab attention and are usually very “eyecatching.” Ex.) Use color, be neat – use rulers when necessary, make your poster balanced – watch your layout…spelling also counts!
*Items to display on your poster:
1. List and explain all of the 6 characteristics
2. Draw or find pictures that represent each of the six characteristics (this means that you 
    should have at least six pictures!)
3. Make the title large and legible “The Characteristics of Living Things”
4. Write your name, date and period on the backside of the poster.
These are the six easily observable characteristics of living things:
1.     Adapted to environment
2.     growth and development
3.     response to stimuli (reacts to changes in the environment)
4.     reproduction
5.     use of energy
6.     cellular structure (having cells)
