Great resource, but would change out the cell picture with growth (maybe multiple cells) to show growth.

Description
How can you tell if something is living? You just check to see if that 'thing' has the 7 characteristics of living things.The object of this lesson is for students to try to come up with the 7 characteristics all living things have in common by looking at pictures. This is a great way to dig deep into what they already may know about living things.
Students first brainstorm these characteristics, then after looking at some picture hints, re-look at and revise their brainstorms ...and finally they check their answers by matching the 7 characteristics to the pictures. This is a FUN way of getting students to actually THINK about what makes something living!
Print the cards out and laminate them to use as clues.
