Big Ideas
- The structure of an object, organism, or system helps determine how it works (its function).
- Understanding the connection between structure and function helps us explain the behaviors and capabilities of things in the world.
Essential Questions
- How does the structure of an object or organism help it perform its function?
- What examples can you find where a change in structure changes the function?
- Why is it important to study the relationship between structure and function in science?
- How are structures of living and nonliving things similar or different in supporting their functions?
- How can understanding structure and function help us solve real-world problems?
