MS-LS1-8 From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Processes
Students who demonstrate understanding can: Gather and synthesize information that sensory receptors respond to stimuli by sending messages to the brain for immediate behavior or storage as memories.
Clarification Statement: N/A
Assessment Boundary: The assessment should provide evidence of students’ abilities to provide a basic and conceptual explanation that sensory cells respond to stimuli in the environment and send electrical impulses to the brain where they are processed as either response or memory. Assessment does not include mechanisms for the transmission of this information.
Crosscutting Concepts	Science & Engineering Practices	Disciplinary Core Ideas
Cause and Effect: Cause and effect relationships may be used to predict phenomena in natural systems.	Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information: Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information in 6-8 builds on K-5 experiences and progresses to evaluating the merit and validity of ideas and methods. Gather, read, and synthesize information from multiple appropriate sources and assess the credibility, accuracy, and possible bias of each publication and methods used, and describe how they are supported or not supported by evidence.	Information Processing: Each sense receptor responds to different inputs (electromagnetic, mechanical, chemical), transmitting them as signals that travel along nerve cells to the brain. The signals are then processed in the brain, resulting in immediate behaviors or memories.
