GRIMNER biology framework: slide deck walkthrough

Section role: supports the 'Cracking the Code with GRIMNER' section while the teacher maps student categories from the previous Martian challenge to the formal biological acronym. Slides: (1) Title — 'The Universal Checklist for Life: GRIMNER'; (2) Growth and Reproduction — bullets: definition of permanent size increase, distinction between sexual and asexual offspring; (3) Irritability — definition of stimuli and environmental sensitivity with a plant-turning-to-sun example; (4) Movement — internal and external mobility across kingdoms; (5) Nutrition and Excretion — pairing energy intake with metabolic waste removal; (6) Respiration — clarifying chemical energy release versus mechanical breathing; (7) Vocabulary Focus — defining 'Metabolism' as the sum of all processes and 'Stimuli' as environmental changes; (8) Cross-Kingdom Video Link — short prompt to observe these traits in action; (9) Check-in — quick interactive prompt testing the seven letters against a borderline organism. Closing slide: 'Are all seven letters required, or can an entity be alive missing one?' — sets up the GRIMNER audit verification worksheet that follows.
