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:
- The body is a system of interacting parts that makes up a whole and carries out functions its individual parts can not.
