Unit overview
NGSS Standards: MS-PS4-1, MS-PS4-2, MS-LS1-1, MS-LS1-2, MS-LS1-3, MS-LS1-8
Unit Overview: This unit explores how the body responds to disease by investigating cells, sound waves, and the interconnectedness of body systems. Students will analyze the phenomenon of measles in New Mexico to generate investigative questions, design experiments, build models, and explore relevant careers.

Do Now (Your website - Ear Attack Page!): OPEN your Ear Attack page on your website and COPY three of the questions below onto it so you can answer them today!!!
Activities for today:
Ear Attack Unit Reflection (10% of your grade): Write 5 sentences, answering at least 3 of these questions:
1. What is the relationship between pitch, volume, and the properties of a sound wave (amplitude, frequency, wavelength)?
2. How are sound waves are converted into signals that the brain can interpret.
3. How can a disease like measles affect one of the body systems (immune, skeletal, muscular, respiratory, digestive...)
4. How do body systems work together?
5. How is the body organized (use the terms tissues, organ systems, cells, organs and organ systems)?
6. What was the most surprising or interesting thing you learned in this unit about how the body responds to disease?
Do the Ear Attack Practice Test to get ready for tomorrow! If you complete this today with at least a 60%, you get a brownie!
