During this topic we learned the seven characteristics of life. We learned what all living this have in common, and how certain living things thrive. Specifically, we looked at pill bugs and did some experiments with them to show how they use their characteristics of life.
In this module, we looked at how foods and drinks affect our bodies. We first kept track of everything we ate for two days. We kept track of the amount of protein, sugars, and carbohydrates. We had to say if we passed or fell behind our recommended daily allowance of those nutrients. Next, we did a project on energy drinks. We chose a popular energy drink and saw if that drank gave us good and healthy energy.
