What kind of test might a scientist devise to figure out whether something is alive?

ok, first thing: what are some properties of living organisms? Number one, the biggie: it's made up of living cells.

Now how would you look to see whether that organism is alive and not dead? Take a sample of its cells under a microscope and determine whether they are alive or dead.

Look in your book or Google and find "properties of living things". Or look up nonliving things.

This is a start.
