Essential Questions:
Human Body Systems of Study-
Standards:
LS1-3: Use argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells.

- What conditions exist in space or on Mars that might affect the human body?
- Students will explain and model how organ systems (cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory, nervous) interact to allow the organism to function.
- What devices or processes will address the impacts of space travel on the human body?
- Chief Executive Officer (CEO)- oversee and facilitate; completes unfinished work presents argument as to why their company has the best solution (bells & whistles, celebrity endorsement, special offers) ; organizes team folder and completes Daily Debriefing Sheet after communicating with team members
- Chief Operating Officer (COO)- makes sure presentation is complete (Video) introduces, organizes, and runs presentation
- Chief Financial Officer (CFO)- materials, money management, budget; presents reason for materials, budget, and support for design (Website)
- Senior Engineer (SE)- makes sure design meets criteria/constraints; introduces design and what it’s (device or process)
- Quality Control (QC)- this position is for groups of 5 only; completes Daily Debriefing Sheet and organizes team folder
Human Body Systems of Study-
- Excretory System
- Circulatory System
- Respiratory Systems
- Nervous System
- Digestive System
- Musculoskeletal System
- Immune System (option for advanced students who want a 4)
- Endocrine (option for additional study)
Standards:
LS1-3: Use argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells.
- Science/Engineering Practices- Use an oral and written argument supported by evidence to support or refute an explanation or a model for a phenomenon
- Disciplinary Core Ideas- The body is a system of subsystems. Subsystems are groups of cells that work together to form tissues and organs that are specialized for particular body functions.
- Crosscutting Concepts- System and System Models- Systems may interact with other systems; they may have sub-systems and be a part of larger complex systems
- Crosscutting Concepts- Science is a Human Endeavor- Guided by habits of mind (intellectual honesty, tolerance of ambiguity, skepticism, and openness to new ideas
