Human Body Gallery Academic Standards

3.1.1.1.1
Provide evidence to support claims, other than saying "Everyone knows that," or "I just know," and question such reasons when given by others.
Grade: 3
Strand: 1. The Nature of Science and Engineering
Subject: Science

3.1.1.2.1
Generate questions that can be answered when scientific knowledge is combined with knowledge gained from one's own observations or investigations. For example: Investigate the sounds produced by striking various objects.
Grade: 3
Strand: 1. The Nature of Science and Engineering
Subject: Science

3.1.1.2.3
Maintain a record of observations, procedures and explanations, being careful to distinguish between actual observations and ideas about what was observed. For example: Make a chart comparing observations about the structures of plants and animals.
Grade: 3
Strand: 1. The Nature of Science and Engineering
Subject: Science

3.1.3.4.1
Use tools, including rulers, thermometers, magnifiers and simple balance, to improve observations and keep a record of the observations made.
Grade: 3
Strand: 1. The Nature of Science and Engineering
Subject: Science

3.4.1.1.1
Compare how the different structures of plants and animals serve various functions of growth, survival and reproduction. For example: Skeletons in animals and stems in plants provide strength and stability.
Grade: 3
Strand: 4. Life Science
Subject: Science

4.4.4.2.1
Recognize that the body has defense systems against germs, including tears, saliva, skin, and blood.
Grade: 4
Strand: 4. Life Science
Subject: Science

5.1.3.4.1
Use appropriate tools and techniques in gathering, analyzing and interpreting data. For example: Spring scale, metric measurements, tables, mean/median/range, spreadsheets, and appropriate graphs.
Grade: 5
Strand: 1. The Nature of Science and Engineering
Subject: Science

6.1.3.1.1
Describe a system in terms of its subsystems and parts, as well as its inputs, processes and outputs.
Grade: 6
Strand: 1. The Nature of Science and Engineering
Subject: Science

7.1.1.1.1
Understand that prior expectations can create bias when conducting scientific investigations. For example: Students often continue to think that air is not matter, even though they have contrary evidence from investigations.
Grade: 7
Strand: 1. The Nature of Science and Engineering
Subject: Science

7.1.1.2.1
Generate and refine a variety of scientific questions and match them with appropriate methods of investigation, such as field studies, controlled experiments, review of existing work, and development of models.
Grade: 7
Strand: 1. The Nature of Science and Engineering
Subject: Science

7.4.1.1.1
Recognize that all cells do not look alike and that specialized cells in multicellular organisms are organized into tissues and organs that perform specialized functions. For example: Nerve cells and skin cells do not look the same because they are part of different organs and have different functions.
Grade: 7
Strand: 4. Life Science
Subject: Science

7.1.1.2.4
Evaluate explanations proposed by others by examining and comparing evidence, identifying faulty reasoning, and suggesting alternative explanations.
Grade: 7
Strand: 1. The Nature of Science and Engineering
Subject: Science

7.4.1.1.2
Describe how the organs in the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, nervous, skin and urinary systems interact to serve the needs of vertebrate organisms.
Grade: 7
Strand: 4. Life Science
Subject: Science

7.4.1.2.1
Recognize that cells carry out life functions, and that these functions are carried out in a similar way in all organisms, including, animals, plants, fungi, bacteria and protists.
Grade: 7
Strand: 4. Life Science
Subject: Science

7.4.4.2.1
Explain how viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites may infect the human body and interfere with normal body functions.
Grade: 7
Strand: 4. Life Science
Subject: Science

7.4.4.2.2
Recognize that a microorganism can cause specific diseases and that there are a variety of medicines available that can be used to combat a given microorganism.
Grade: 7
Strand: 4. Life Science
Subject: Science

8.1.1.1.1
Evaluate the reasoning in arguments in which fact and opinion are intermingled or when conclusions do not follow logically from the evidence given. For example: Evaluate the use of pH in advertising products such as body care and gardening.
Grade: 8
Strand: 1. The Nature of Science and Engineering
Subject: Science

8.1.1.2.1
Use logical reasoning and imagination to develop descriptions, explanations, predictions and models based on evidence.
Grade: 8
Strand: 1. The Nature of Science and Engineering
Subject: Science
