Library resources, project guides, and more.

Characteristics of Living Things

Big Idea

The topic of your research will be the five characteristics shared by all living things AND the characteristics that make your organism unique. You may use the internet, library databases, and any books from the library to complete your research. 

You should use at least 3 separate resources, and you must list your sources for this project.  View the Citing Your Sources page for information on how to do this.
