Course Overview:
Explore the 11 body systems and see how they work together to maintain homeostasis.
Explore the 11 body systems and see how they work together to maintain homeostasis.
Unit One - Identity:
Students investigate the body system and functions that all humans have in common, and then look at differences in tissues, such as bone and muscle, and in molecules, such as DNA, to pinpoint unique identify.
Unit Two - Communication:
Students investigate modes of communication within the human body as well as the ways humans communicate with the outside world.
Unit Three - Power:
Students investigate how food, oxygen, and water power the body.
Unit Four - Movement:
Students investigate movement of the human body as well as substances within the body.
Unit Five - Protection:
Students explore ways in which the human body protects itself from injury and disease.
Unit Six - Homeostasis:
This unit functions on the connection between all of the human body systems and examines how these systems work together to maintain health and homeostasis. Students also explore how the body deals with extreme external environments.
