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.

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 6â8 builds on Kâ5 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.
