Scientists have discovered a new specimen. It is microscopic yet complex, and scientists are having a hard time figuring out if it can be classified as a living thing or not. So far, scientists have observed some key things about the specimen. It performs photosynthesis, and since they have been watching, it has doubled in size. In fact, the scientists were able to retain one in the laboratory, and now they have four. The specimen has been kept in a petri dish in the lab; throughout the day, scientists observe it in different areas of the dish. Do you think the specimen is a living thing? Based on what you know about what makes a living thing, make your argument. Also include any observations that could be made that would make your argument even stronger.
