Standards Addressed:
Standards Addressed:
- HS-LS1-1. Construct a model of transcription and translation to explain the roles of DNA and RNA that code for proteins that regulate and carry out essential functions of life.
- HS-LS1-2. Develop and use a model to illustrate the key functions of animal body systems, including (a) food digestion, nutrient uptake, and transport through the body; (b) exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide; (c) removal of wastes; and (d) regulation of body processes.
- HS-LS1-3. Provide evidence that homeostasis maintains internal body conditions through both body-wide feedback mechanisms and small-scale cellular processes.

**** Define the key terms!
- How do the folds of the mammalian cerebellum increase its surface area?
- What is the role of motor neurons in the response to stimuli?
- Describe the three examples of specialization in the nervous systems of animals.
- Give an example of an animal with a very simple sensory system and an example of one with a complex sensory system. Explain your reasoning.
- An eagle sees a mouse on the ground and then swoops down to catch it. Describe the events that occur in the nervous system of the eagle as it completes this activity.
- Describe the three main types of skeletons.
- How does the organization of muscles allow animals a variety of movements?
- When is an animal with an exoskeleton most vulnerable to attach from predators? Explain your prediction.
- Create a model of a vertebrate or invertebrate joint. Make sure the muscles are attached to the same skeletal structures they would be attached to in a real animal and that the muscles and skeletal structure allow the joint to bend and flex.
- Compare the advantages of sexual and asexual reproduction.
- Describe the two main ways that animal eggs are fertilized.
- How is parental care related to the number of offspring that the ancial produces?
- Describe the three main ways that animal embryos develop.
- How did the evolution of the amniotic egg provide an advantage to terrestrial chordates?
- How are complete and incomplete metamorphosis alike? How are they different?
- How are sperm and egg cells specialized for reproduction? Why is the specialization necessary?
