Skills
- use argument (supported by evidence) #dok3
- explain (how the body is a system of interacting subsystems) #dok3
- describe (groups of cells that compose subsystems) #dok2
- analyze (the structure and function of subsystems) #dok3
Learning Targets
- I can identify the different subsystems within the human body. #dok1
- I can describe how groups of cells make up subsystems in the human body. #dok2
- I can explain how subsystems of the body interact and depend on each other. #dok3
- I can construct an argument using evidence to show how the body functions as a system of subsystems. #dok3
- I can analyze how changes in one subsystem can affect other subsystems in the body. #dok3
Big Ideas
- The human body is made up of interacting subsystems, each composed of groups of specialized cells that work together.
- The proper functioning of the body relies on the interaction and cooperation of these subsystems.
Essential Questions
- How do the different systems of the body work together to keep us alive?
- Why is it important for the subsystems of the body to interact and communicate?
- What evidence supports the idea that the body is made up of interacting subsystems?
- How do groups of cells work together to carry out the functions of a subsystem?
- How can a problem in one body subsystem affect the function of other subsystems?
