Unit 2- Cell Structure and Function
Understandings:
• All organisms are composed of cells with structures that perform functions to
sustain life.
• Tools are used to collect data which can be used to determine characteristics,
predict future events, and provide evidence to support theories.
• Scientific knowledge is derived from and supported by the results of many
individual experiments to establish patterns in the data, draw conclusions, and
push the thinking of the scientific community.
• Scientific information evolves with the addition of newly acquired data,
rethinking of existing data, and/or the advancement of tools.
• Organisms use energy within a system to grow, reproduce, and maintain
balance.
