Health and Social
Education –
understanding the
beneficial and
necessary functions of
small organisms in the
Earth’s ecosystem
- infections and
diseases of humans
- understanding
that HIV is the viral
agent that causes AIDS
and being familiar with
current efforts to control
its spread
- understanding
the importance of
sanitation and safe sex
in the prevention of the
spread of infectious
organisms
Significant
Concepts
Homeostasis is a
process of
maintaining
balance in our
bodies. Balance of
temperatures and
chemicals are
regulated by
enzymes.
Kingdom Protista
contains singlecelled organisms
that may free freeliving or parasitic,
producers or
consumers.
The organisms of
Kingdom Moneara
are commonly
known as bacteria
and play vital roles
in Earth’s
ecosystem, as well
as cause diseases.
Viruses are not
classified as living
things. They are
able to “survive”
when life forms
cannot. They
cause some of the
most dangerous
diseases that afflict
humans.

Define homeostasis
Identify several factors that must be regulated and
maintained in human bodies
Explain the mechanisms that maintain homeostasis in
humans for each of the identified factors
Define enzymes and discuss their chemical makeup and
production
Describe how errors in homeostasis are related to illness
and disease
(R) State the five kingdoms of living things and their basic
characteristics.
Name and describe special relationships, such as symbiosis,
parasitism, decomposition
Describe the anatomy and reproduction of monerans and
the roles that they play in the ecosystem.
Describe the main groups of protists and their
characteristics.
Describe the anatomy and reproduction of viruses.
Explain the controversy about the classification of viruses
and the definition of life
Identify and describe factors that affect the growth rate of
protists, bacteria, or viruses and how we attempt to control
them.
Name and describe some well-known examples from each
group and explain what diseases they cause, benefits they
provide, etc.
Understand that HIV is the virus that causes AIDS and what
efforts are being made to control its spread
