Topic: Structure and function of animals
Dates:
Key Learning(s):
Complex animals exhibit levels of organization.
Animals are structurally and physiologically adapted to maintain
homeostasis, protect themselves from injury, and reproduce.
Unit Essential Question(s):
How are animals organized?
How are human body systems’ structure related to function?
How do organ systems work together to help animals maintain
homeostasis and perform daily activities?
Concept: Tissues & Organ systems

related to function at all levels of
biological organization from
molecules to organisms.
