All matter is
comprised of the same basic elements, goes through the same kinds of energy
transformations, and uses the same kinds of forces to move. Living organisms
are no exception. Elementary students begin to observe the macroscopic features
of organisms in order to make comparisons and classifications based upon
likenesses and differences. Looking for patterns in the appearance and behavior
of an organism leads to the notion that offspring are much like the parents,
but not exactly alike.
BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE
SC-04-3.4.1
Students will:
· compare
the different structures and functions of plants and animals that contribute to
the growth, survival and reproduction of the organisms;
· make
inferences about the relationship between structure and function in organisms.
Each plant or animal has
structures that serve different functions in growth, survival and reproduction.
For example, humans have distinct body structures for walking, holding, seeing
and talking. Evidence about the relationship between structure and function
should be used to make inferences and draw conclusions.
DOK 3
Activity: Students will
observe and collect data on animals (preserved and models) in the Owensboro
Museum.
Objectives: The student will…
1.
identify,
describe and classify different structures and functions of animals that
contribute to growth, survival and reproduction of those organisms.
2.
Make
inferences about the relationship between the structure and function in
organisms

I CAN:

and functions of animals that contribute to growth, survival and reproduction
of those organisms
· make inferences about the relationship between the
structure and function in organisms
Animal
|
Structure (name and/or describe)
|
Function (describe)
|
How does this animal
structure help with the function you described (does it help with growth, reproduction, survival…and how does it do
this?)
