Big Ideas
- The way something is built (structure) directly influences how it works (function), whether it is an object, an organism, or a system.
- Understanding the relationship between structure and function helps explain why living things and objects perform certain roles or tasks.
Essential Questions
- How does the structure of an object, organism, or system relate to its function?
- Why is it important for objects or organisms to have certain structures?
- What could happen if the structure of an object, organism, or system changed?
- How do different structures achieve similar functions in nature or engineering?
- In what ways do structures and functions work together in a system?
