7th+Grade+Living+Systems


 * Established Goals: **

(5) Matter and energy. The student knows that interactions occur between matter and energy. The student is expected to: (A) recognize that radiant energy from the Sun is transformed into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis;  (6) Matter and energy. The student knows that matter has physical and chemical properties and can undergo physical and chemical changes. The student is expected to: (B) distinguish between physical and chemical changes in matter in the digestive system; and (C) recognize how large molecules are broken down into smaller molecules such as carbohydrates can be broken down into sugars. (7) Force, motion, and energy. The student knows that there is a relationship among force, motion, and energy. The student is expected to: (A) contrast situations where work is done with different amounts of force to situations where no work is done such as moving a box with a ramp and without a ramp, or standing still; (B) illustrate the transformation of energy within an organism such as the transfer from chemical energy to heat and thermal energy in digestion; and (C) demonstrate and illustrate forces that affect motion in everyday life such as emergence of seedlings, turgor pressure, and geotropism. (12) Organisms and environments. The student knows that living systems at all levels of organization demonstrate the complementary nature of structure and function. The student is expected to:  (B) identify the main functions of the systems of the human organism, including the circulatory, respiratory, skeletal, muscular, digestive, excretory, reproductive, integumentary, nervous, and endocrine systems; (13) Organisms and environments. The student knows that a living organism must be able to maintain balance in stable internal conditions in response to external and internal stimuli. The student is expected to: (A) investigate how organisms respond to external stimuli found in the environment such as phototropism and fight or flight; and (B) describe and relate responses in organisms that may result from internal stimuli such as wilting in plants and fever or vomiting in animals that allow them to maintain balance.
