Human Body Systems
Life Science 2.2. The human body is composed of atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems that have specific functions and interactions (Colorado Department of Education, 2009)
Before beginging this unit answer the following question:
How can the Human body be explained as a system within systems?
Please add any artifact that you believe would answer the unit questions. Suggestions for artifacts are: images from labs or your textbook, clips from your notebook, sound clips with your reflections, digital stories created during this unit, really anything that demonstrates that you understand how to answer the question. Be creative and have fun! Show what you know!
What are the major body systems within the human body and the organs that make up each body system? (SC.09-GR.7-S.2-GLE.2-EO.a)
