MS-LS1-3 From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Processes

Students who demonstrate understanding can: 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.

Crosscutting Concepts

Science & Engineering Practices 

Disciplinary Core Ideas 

Systems and System Models:

  • Systems may interact with other systems; they may have sub-systems and be a part of larger complex systems.

Engaging in Argument from Evidence:

  • Engaging in argument from evidence in 6–8 builds on K–5 experiences and progresses to constructing a convincing argument that supports or refutes claims for either explanations or solutions about the natural and designed world(s).
  • Use an oral and written argument supported by evidence to support or refute an explanation or a model for a phenomenon. 

Structure and Function:

  • In multicellular organisms, the body is a system of multiple interacting subsystems. These subsystems are groups of cells that work together to form tissues and organs that are specialized for particular body functions.
