Living things - Characteristics

As you already know, living things share several features that make them living things instead of non-living.
These are:

• To be formed by one or more CELLS 
• To have the same chemical COMPOSITION (C H O N)
• To perform the three VITAL FUNCTIONS (English speaking countries call the seven life processes)

Let's have a review in the following videos.

Five kingdoms

Here you are a couple of videos about living things and classification.

Please, watch them carefully and try to understand the information in order to revise the five kingdoms of living things and their characteristics.

First and Second Law of Thermodynamics

Here is song written and played by Flanders and Swamn a long time ago that explains pretty clear the laws of Thermodynamics.

Solar System projects

This year, I proposed to my 1 ESO bilingual students explain the Solar System (obviously in English). To do this work, they could help themselves with drawings, videos, models, etc.
They have been working seriously in groups of three or four people and the result has exceeded any forecast planned. Also you spoke some English (which was what I wanted) and so you will lose the fear of speaking.
I am really impressed.
This is the result of the experience.
Congratulations to all of you.
