State Standards: Systems in Living Things Standard #6:Identify the general functions of the major systems of the human body (digestion, respiration, reproduction, circulation, excretion, protection from disease, and movement, control, and coordination) and describe ways that these systems interact with each other.
Major Learning Targets:
I can describe the functions of the major body systems
I can explain how the different systems interact
I can recognize some major organs from each system
I can explain how to apply this information to their own health
Important Concepts:
Each system has a critical job to perform for the organism
Each system much function well for the organism to be healthy
The systems do not act alone, instead they are all connected and rely on each other
Our actions and choices have long term health consequences
Important Skills:
Students will learn to use the tools of dissection appropriately and responsibly
Students will critically examine the impact of choices on health
Students will use evidence to form opinions and create solutions to current health problems in the United States
Assessments and Projects in Addition to Weekly Test:
Put your muscles to the test activity and report
Heart Dissection Lab and report
Chicken Bones and Osteoporosis Lab and report
Research the Brain’s role in food addiction and analyze your own experience with the substances that trigger this reaction
Research the effects of salt, sugar, and fats, on the human body systems and come up with ways people can learn moderation in the consumption of these
