Human Body Systems for Grade 7 2017 Science P.L.U.S. Institute Roper Mountain Science Center Greenville, South Carolina Academic Course Description: Hands-on, inquiry-based activities emphasizing science process skills will provide the vehicles for studying concepts that correlate to the South Carolina Science Academic Standards for seventh grade life science. Course topics are designed to enhance the middle school teacher’s life science knowledge base and provide appropriate lessons for the 7th grade science classroom. Activities are aimed at developing awareness in students of how the levels of organization within organisms support the essential functions of life. Students will additionally demonstrate how multicellular organisms (including humans) are complex systems with specialized cells that perform specific functions. Case studies and lab simulations extend the learning experience in order to make connections between the various body systems and how they serve the needs of the organism. Participants receive a significant quantity of science materials for performing the activities in their classrooms. Outline of Course Content: 2014 SC SCIENCE STANDARD LIFE SCIENCE: ORGANIZATION IN LIVING SYSTEMS 7.L.3 – The student will demonstrate an understanding of how the levels of organization within organisms support the essential functions of life. CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING: 7L.3B - Multi-cellular organisms (including humans) are complex systems with specialized cells that perform specific functions. Organs and organ systems are composed of cells that function to serve the needs of cells which in turn serve the needs of the organisms. PERFORMANCE INDICATOR: 7L.3B.2 – Construct explanations for how systems in the human body work together to support the essential life functions of the body. Unit Driving Question: How do systems in the human body work together to support the essential life functions of the body?

Relate organization with an organism. The levels of organization, from the simplest level to the most complex such as cell, tissues, organs, systems. The main function of the musculoskeletal system is to provide movement and support for the body, to protect internal organs, and to provide attachment sites for the muscles. The main functions of the nervous systems are to receive stimuli from inside and outside the body, to interpret the stimuli, and initiate responses for y To Think or Not to Think What does the Brain See?

The main function of the circulatory system is to transport blood to all parts of the body so that gases, nutrients, and waste products are transported to and from the cells. The main function of the respiratory system is to provide gas exchange between the blood and the air. Understand the basic form and function of each of the body systems as well as the interrelationships that occur between systems to ensure the survival of the organism.
