Knowledge and Understanding
Skills and Application
Working Scientifically
Impressive understanding of:

The structure of plant and animal cells

The differences in the structure of specialized cells which make
them suitable for a specific job

How multicellular organs are structured

Why multicellular organisms need organ systems

The features of different types of tissue and how they relate to
the function they perform

How medical treatments work based on cells, tissues, organs
and systems.

How damage to, or failure of, an organ would affect other body
systems.
Skilfully, and with flair, able to:

Explain how to use a microscope to identify and
compare different types of cells to a variety of different
audiences

Explain how a physical property of part of the skeleton
relates to its function.
Skilfully, and with flair, able to:

Suggest how structure and functions of cells could be
communicated for a different audience.

Explain why using diagrams and micrographs is useful
when explaining the function of a cell

Record observations of different cell types using
scientific words.

Decide if a diagram might help the explanation the
function of a cell or part of a cell.

Read your text and rewrite anything that is not clear

Suggest how the ideas would be communicated for a
different audience. E.g. the function of the components
of a cell or parts of the skeleton to a younger audience



The functions of the human skeleton
How muscles work in pairs and called antagonistic muscles to
produce movement around a joint
Explain how antagonistic muscles produce movement around a
joint.

Explain why some organs contain muscle tissue.

Use a diagram to predict the result of a muscle
contraction or relaxation.

Predict the consequences of damage to a joint, bone or
muscle.

Suggest factors that affect the force exerted by different
muscles.
Consider the benefits and risks of a technology for
improving human movement.
