Students will explore the transport of matter through living systems and will investigate how living systems maintain a constant balance, known as homeostasis. The biological processes studied include respiration, circulation, digestion, and excretion. Students will use experimentation and statistical analysis to analyze the effects of exercise on respiration and circulation. They will investigate nutrient transport in plants. They will model cellular transport through a series of experiments.
