Gr 5: 

• Human Body Systems (T1)

B2.1 identify systems of the human body, and describe their basic function

B2.2 describe the basic structure and function of vital organs in various systems in the human body

B2.3 describe interrelationships between human body systems

B2.4 identify various diseases and medical disorders in humans and the organs and/or body system or systems that they affect

• Properties of and Changes in Matter (T1)

• Forces Acting on Structures and Mechanisms (T2)

Big Ideas:

• 1. analyse social and environmental impacts of forces acting on structures, and assess ways to mitigate these impacts 

     1. 1. analyse the effects of forces from natural phenomena on structures in natural and built environments

        2. assess various ways in which humans mitigate impacts of forces from natural phenomena on structures in urban, rural, and remote communities

  2. demonstrate an understanding of forces that act on structures, and how various structures withstand them 

1. identify internal forces acting on a structure, and describe their effects on the structure

2. identify external forces acting on a structure, and describe their effects on the structure

3. describe forces resulting from natural phenomena that can have severe consequences for human-built structures, and identify structural features and materials that can allow such structures to withstand these forces

4. describe ways in which physical characteristics of various animal and plant species help to protect them from potentially harmful effects of forces

5. describe ways in which protective equipment helps to protect humans from potentially harmful effects of forces
