Essential Question: How is your body smart? Skeletal System: The Skeletal System gives the body shape, supports the body and together with muscles, helps the body move. There are different types of joints and each provides a different type of movement. Ligaments connect bones to bones. Muscular system: Works with the skeletal system to provide movement. There are different kinds of muscles. Muscles cover the bones. Label parts of the system. Explain the functions of the systems and how they work together vertebrate, cartilage, marrow, ligaments, spinal chord, brain, ribs, bones (such as femur, tibula, fibula, patella, pelvis, humerus, cranium, mandible), joints (such as hinge, ball and socket, gliding, pivot, fixed) tendons, skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, cardiac muscles, voluntary muscles, involuntary muscles 2

Label parts of the system Explain the functions of the system and how they work together arteries, veins, capillaries, oxygen, carbon dioxide, blood vessels, heart 1.2d Respiratory System Respiratory System: During respiration, cells use oxygen to release the energy stored in food. The respiratory system supplies oxygen and removes carbon dioxide. inhale, exhale, diaphragm, windpipe, nose, lungs, bronchial tube 1.2c Digestive System Digestive System: breaks down food so that it is absorbed into the bloodstream and carried to parts of the body for energy. mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestines, large intestines, digestion, pancreas, liver 1.2e Excretory System Excretory System: is the body s system for eliminating cell waste. kidney, bladder, colon 3

4 Topic: The Human Body con t. Transferable Concepts: systems, interdependence 4 Living 1.2h Nervous System Nervous System: sends messages to and from the brain throughout the body. The endocrine system produces hormones, which help regulate body functions. Label parts of the system Explain the functions of the system and how they work together thyroid, pituitary, hormones, pancreas, gland, five senses, nerve endings, sensory nerve, spinal cord, cerebrum, cerebellum, medulla, motor nerve, reflex, central nervous system 1.2j Immune System Immune System: When you get sick, your body has the ability to get better. immune, bacteria, (such as tetanus, strep, bacterial pneumonia), virus (such as cold, measles, mumps), white blood cells, fungi (such as athletes foots, ringworm) 4

5 Topic: Introduction to Biology Transferable Concepts: 1:,, M2.1b M3.1 M3.1a Key Ida 1 S1.1-S1.3 S3.1-S3.4 4 Living 1.1a-h Systems Thinking Key Idea 4 Equilibrium & Stability Classification Enduring Understanding: We are able to classify plants and animals by their distinguishing characteristics. Essential Question: How can we categorize all living things in the world? All living organisms are made up of cells. Plants and animals have shared characteristics. Label parts of a cell and identify their functions. Compare/contrast parts of plants and animals. Classify plants and animals based upon shared characteristics. warm-blooded, cold-blooded, vertebrate, invertebrate, cell, organism, nucleus, cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, species, kingdom, birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, vascular, nonvascular, chlorophyll, photosynthesis, botanists, spore producers, seed producers, flowering, nonflowering. 5

6 Topic: Simple Machines Transferable Concepts: force, interaction 1:, M1.1a-M1.1c M2.1a-M2.1b M3.1, M3.1a S1.1-S1.3 S2.1-S2.3 S3.1-S3.4 Engineering Design T1.1-T1.5 Enduring Understanding: Simple machines make work easier. (They don t make less work; they make the same amount of work easier.) Essential Question: How do simple machines affect how people will live, work, travel, and play? There are six simple machines: levers, pulleys, incline plan, wedge, wheel and axle, screw There are three types of levers: 1 st, 2 nd, and 3 rd class levers There are three types of pulleys fixed, moveable, and block and tackle Identify the six types of simple machines and tell the differences between them. Describe how each makes work easier. Identify examples of simple machines in everyday life. Explain the differences between the types of levers. Explain the differences between fixed, moveable, and block and tackle pulleys. levers, pulleys, incline plane, wedge, wheel and axle, screw, load, effort, fulcrum, friction, work, fixed pulley, moveable pulley, 1 st, 2 nd, and 3 rd class levers, gears 4: The Physical 5.2c-g Systems Thinking Magnitude & Scale Connections Work is force x distance. Friction slows work down and produces heat. All machines are made up of a combination of simple machines Define work using the formula. Demonstrate how to reduce friction, using lubricants. Identify the difference between complex and simple machines. Identify complex machines in everyday life. 6
