Unit Summary
Students explore the characteristics of living things. This unit includes opportunities for students to conduct investigations on cells, create models of the parts of the cell, and explore how groups of cells make up the human body. In addition, students will learn about the different body systems and how their interactions support the life cycle of complex, multicellular organisms.
