This week we have been researching MRS GREN! Mrs Gren is apart of the life system. The reason there is a Mrs Gren is so you can tell if something is living or not. 

We have been going around our school to find things and then checking Mrs Gren to find out if it is alive or dead. 

Here is what MRS GREN means...

Movement
Respiration
Sensitivity

Growth 

Reproduction
Excretion
Nutrition

We found a tree growing in the concrete. We looked at the sheet, and asked ourselves the following questions. We determined from our answers that this tree was alive.

Is it moving ... yes, it moves when it grows

Is it breathing ... yes photosynthesis

Does it have any sensitivity ... yes

Does it grow ... yes

Can it reproduce ... yes, you can take a cutting and it will grow

Can it produce waste ... yes, the leaves fall off

Can it feed ... yes, it produces fruit
