All  living  things  are  made  up  of  cells.  In  organisms,  cells  work  together  to  form  tissues  and  organs  that  are  specialized  for  particular  body  functions.  

 

Each  sense  receptor  responds  to  different  inputs,  transmitting  them  as  signals  that  travel  along  nerve  cells  to  the  brain.  The  signals  are  then  processed  in  

 the  brain,  resulting  in  an  immediate  behavior  or  memories.  

 

 

ESSENTIAL  QUESTION(S)  for  the  UNIT  

 

How do structures work together to fulfill the function(s) of a system?

 

How does a structure’s form and composition determine its function?

 

How have people used other materials to replace/repair organic structures in the human body?

   

 

                           CONCEPT  A                  CONCEPT  B                                          CONCEPT  C    The  muscular-‐skeletal  system,  with  input  from  the  brain,  

       is  responsible  for  movement.       Different  types  of  joints  provide  for  different  movements.   Prosthetics  can  replace  damaged/missing  body  parts.

  Very complete set of lesson plans that explore biomedical engineering. The first focuses on bones. It includes a pre and post assessment, written background
      information for the teacher and separated vocabulary lists. It offers extensions to both upper and lower grade levels. In addition to the skeleton, it also looks at other parts of the body-eyes, ears, circulatory, and even digestive.
