Priority Standard:
5.L.1.2 Compare the major systems of the human body (digestive, respiratory, circulatory, muscular, skeletal, nervous, and cardiovascular) in terms of their functions necessary for life
Essential Questions:
- How are structure and function related in living things?
- What are the systems of the human body?
- What features of the human body (structure and function) are common to all humans?
- How do human body systems function?
- How are parts of human body systems independent, and interdependent
Big Ideas:
- Structure and Function in Living things
- Systems, Dependence, Inter- and Intra-dependence
- Unicellular organisms consist of a single-cell and perform all life processes in that cell.
- Multicellular organisms consist of differentiated cells that perform specialized functions.
- Each organ system performs a special life process and they work together to maintain life.
