    Knowledge

    Students know:
    • Humans have systems that interact with one another.
    • The purpose, functions, and interactions of the digestive system.
    • The purpose, functions, and interactions of the respiratory system.
    • The purpose, functions, and interactions of the circulatory system.
    • The purpose, functions, and interactions of the excretory system.
    • The purpose, functions, and interactions of the systems that contribute to movement, control, and coordination.
    • The purpose, functions, and interactions of the systems that protect the body from disease.

    Skills

    Students are able to:
    • Obtain information by reading and comprehending grade-appropriate complex texts about the interacting systems in the human body.
    • Evaluate information about interactions and functions of human body systems by comparing and/or combining across complex texts and/or other reliable media.
    • Communicate information orally and/or in written formats about interactions and functions of human body systems.

    Understanding

    Students understand that:
