Big Ideas
  • The way something is built or arranged (structure) affects how it works (function) in objects, organisms, and systems.
  • Understanding the relationship between structure and function helps explain why objects, living things, and systems work the way they do.
Essential Questions
  • How does the structure of an object, organism, or system affect its function?
  • What are examples of structures and functions in living and nonliving systems?
  • How might changing a structure impact the function of an object, organism, or system?
  • Why is it important to understand the connection between structure and function?
  • Can you identify patterns in how structures relate to functions across different systems?
