Grade 7 Science - Unit VI Overview

Human Body Systems

In the Human Body Systems unit, students will identify and describe the relationship between structure and function in the human body. Students will identify and analyze responses caused by internal and external stimuli and describe how the human body maintains homeostasis.

Critical Questions
  • What relationship exists between structure and function of the human body?
  • How do the human body systems interact to maintain homeostasis?
  • How do internal and external stimuli affect an organism's response?

Suggested Time Frame: 7 weeks
