Describe an investigation that could be performed to classify the substance as living or non living

An investigation that shows what elements are present in the body composition of this substance.

Explanation:

All living organisms, without exception, have carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur in their composition. So to determine if a substance is alive or not, it is necessary to establish an investigation of the body composition of that substance to prove the absence or the presence of all these elements. If there is a presence of these substances, we can test whether this substance responds to external stimuli, if it responds it is because it is a living being.
