MS-LS1-3. Use argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells.
[Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the conceptual understanding that cells form tissues and tissues form organs specialized for particular body functions. Examples could include the interaction of subsystems within a system and the normal functioning of those systems.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include the mechanism of one body system independent of others. Assessment is limited to the circulatory, excretory, digestive, respiratory, muscular, and nervous systems.]
What Students Need to Know:
The organization of multicellular organisms
How subsystems of circulatory, excretory, digestive, respiratory, muscular, and nervous systems interact and the normal function of those systems
Role of organs with in a body system
Systems of the body work together
What Students need to be able to Do:
Support an argument with evidence
How Students will Learn: Practice:
Engaging in Argument from Evidence
Use an oral and written argument supported by evidence to support or refute an explanation or a model for a phenomenon
