Description

This resource is a paper, printable unit on the circulatory system. This product provides your students with informational text passages, interactive notebook flaps, videos, response pages, and a quiz. Students will make arguments from evidence and will learn about the organization of the human body: cell-tissue-organ-system. They will learn that the body is made up of cells, which make up tissues, which make up organs. Together, specialized cells, tissue, and organs work together in a system. They will learn what the circulatory system is and all the components of it. They will learn about blood and the function of different parts of human blood. They will also label a heart and show the flow of blood through it.

This resource is aligned with

NGSS MS-LS1-3.

Use argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the conceptual understanding that cells form tissues and tissues form organs specialized for particular body functions. Examples could include the interaction of subsystems within a system and the normal functioning of those systems.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include the mechanism of one body system independent of others. Assessment is limited to the circulatory, excretory, digestive, respiratory, muscular, and nervous systems.]

And

Utah SEEd 7.3.3 Construct an explanation using evidence to explain how body systems have various levels of the organization. Emphasize that cells form tissues, tissues form organs, and organs form systems specialized for particular body functions. Examples could include relationships between the circulatory, excretory, digestive, respiratory, muscular, skeletal, or nervous systems. Specific organ functions will be taught at the high school level. (LS1.A)
