B2.4 compare, on the basis of observation (e.g., using pictures, videos, or images), the division of cancerous cells and non-cancerous cells, and describe the impact of cancerous cells on the human body [PR, AI]
B2.5 locate, through a laboratory or computer- simulated dissection, the organs of a specific system of an animal (e.g., a worm, a frog, a fish), and describe their interrelationship [PR, AI, C]
B2.6 use scientific investigation skills to research health problems related to tissues, organs, or systems in humans (e.g., asthma, sickle-cell anemia, heart disease, Crohn’s disease), and communicate their findings [IP, PR, C]
B. Understanding Basic Concepts
By the end of this course, students will:
B3.1 describe the cell cycle in animals, and explain its importance for the growth of cells and repair of tissues
B3.2 describe the structure, function, and im- portance of specialized cells and tissues in multi-cellular organisms (e.g., neurons have
many branching dendrites and long axons to receive and transmit messages; muscle cells have a higher concentration of mitochondria, which produce energy)
B3.3 explain cell organization by describing the link between cells, tissues, organs, and systems in the human body
B3.4 explain the general function of some of the systems in the human body (e.g., the function of the circulatory system is to transport materials through the body; the function of the digestive system is to absorb nutrients; the function of the respiratory system is to bring oxygen into and remove carbon dioxide from the body)
B3.5 describe the interaction of systems in the human body (e.g., the respiratory system brings oxygen into the body, and the circulatory system transports the oxygen to cells), and explain why these interactions are necessary for survival
