Lessons
Cells, Tissues & Organs (Coming)
What important structures in the human body are necessary for survival? Take a look at some of the main organ systems operating in your body all of the time to keep you alive. Identify the main functions of systems, including processes that occur at specific organs that serve the overall operations of that system. Finally, take on the role of cells in the body to meet some of those functions.
Grade 7 - (13) Organisms and environments. The student knows how systems are organized and function to support the health of an organism and how traits are inherited.
Grade 8 - (13) Organisms and environments. The student knows how cell functions support the health of an organism and how adaptation and variation relate to survival.
Biology - (5) Science concepts--biological structures, functions, and processes. The student knows that biological structures at multiple levels of organization perform specific functions and processes that affect life
