Grade 1 Science - Unit IV Overview
|
Human Body Systems
In Unit
4 Human Body Systems, the students will learn to use
age-appropriate tools to sort, measure, and classify
information gathered about the systems of the human
body. Students will be able to sort organisms of the
human body according to their parts and characteristics.
Students will be able to observe and describe the parts
of the human body. Students will group and compare
living organisms as well as ask questions about
organisms. Students will learn to plan and conduct
simple descriptive investigations about the human body,
gather information, construct reasonable explanations
and draw conclusions to the investigations.
Critical Questions:
- How do living organisms change as they grow?
- How do different parts of the body work together
to help us move and function?
- What are the basic needs of living organisms?
- What observations can be made about mass, size,
color, sound and movement of living organisms?
Suggested Time Frame: 4 weeks |

Sort organisms according to
their parts and characteristics. Observe and describe
the parts of animals. Explore how living organisms change
as they grow and how different parts of the human body work
together to help us move and function. Identify
characteristics of living organisms that allow their basic needs
to be met. Compare and give examples of the ways living
organisms depend on each other for their basic needs. (1.6A-B,
1.9A-B) |

Collect information using
tools, record and compare collected information.
Students will Measure organisms and parts of organisms
using non-standard units. Use measuring tools to
measure parts of their body. Observe, measure
and record changes in mass, size, color, position,
quantity, sound and movement. Observe and record
changes in the life cycle of organisms. (1.4C, 1.7A)

Ask questions about
organisms, Plan and conduct simple descriptive
investigations. Gather information using simple equipment
and tools to extend the senses. Construct reasonable
explanations and draw conclusions. Communicate
explanations and draw conclusions. (1.2C-D) |
