*Note: This is an old video that I created and am unable to edit. This year, I am only teaching seven characteristics of living things. In the video, I mention eight. I left out having DNA. Since you cannot have a cell without DNA, having DNA is implied. Being made of one or more cells is one of the characteristics of life, thus having DNA is implied. I also am not requiring you to know the information about viruses yet. I will teach that later in the year, but hearing things more than once is an advantage for learning.
