◊ 5.1.1
Scientific Inquiry
Identify the variables in scientific investigations and recognize the importance of controlling
variables in scientific experiments
◊ 5.1.2
Scientific Inquiry
Formulate and defend conclusions based on evidence
◊ 5.2.1
Unifying Concepts and Themes
Use models and/or simulations to represent and investigate features of objects, events, and
processes in the real world
· 5.4.1
Cells, Tissues, Organs, and Organ Systems
Describe the structures of the human body and how they work together to sustain life
· 5.5.1
Heredity
Recognize that some traits of living things are inherited and others are learned
Big Idea(s) / Major Understanding(s): Students will understand that...
The human body is made of trillions of cells. Cells group to form tissues, tissues build organs, and
organs work together to comprise a body system.
Organs make up the skeletal, muscular, nervous, digestive, respiratory, circulatory and excretory
systems that work together to sustain a human's life.

are
assigned
one

They
make
a

the
system.
Everyone
else
writes
in
