1. Human Body Systems Unit
Students learn that all organisms obtain energy, get rid of wastes, grow, and reproduce. 
Students will learn the major functions of human body systems such as the ability of the integumentary system to protect against infection, injury, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation; regulate body temperature; and remove waste.
Students extend their understanding of structures in living systems from a previous focus on external structures to an understanding of internal structures and functions within living things.
Force, motion, and energy are observed in living systems and the environment in several ways.
