Big Idea: How do organs and body systems work and interact with each other?
By the end of the unit, students should be able to:
- Name and describe the major organs in the body and explain what their role is.
- Investigate and explain the function of each organ system.
- Conduct experiments to understand how organ systems work together.
- Describe how organ systems are codependent. (ASSESSMENT)
- Discuss the effects of illness and diseases on organ systems.
- Explain how to reduce harm to the major organ systems.
FOCUS: Week of Jan 22nd
- Organ: The Brain - What does it do?
- System: The nervous system - How does it work?
The nervous system and the brain
Need to know:
- renewable vs. non renewable energy sources
- identify, draw and explain examples of energy transformations (energy conversions)
- identify ways people waste energy and ways to conserve energy (to be covered in the next few days)
Simple energy transformations:

We're learning about ENERGY!!!
- Potential vs. Kinetic
- sources of energy
- renewable vs. non-renewable energy
- energy transformations (how it changes from one form to another)
- law of conversation of energy

Science will continue after Social Studies is completed!
We are currently learning about Matter
- states of matter (solid, liquid, gas)
- properties of matter (physical properties)
- chemical vs. physical changes
Our unit test will be Tuesday, October 17, 2017
Format: T/F (correct the false statement), Fill in the blanks (physical/chemical change), short answer, application
Outline:
- states of matter (liquid/solid/gas)
- properties of matter (solubility, viscosity, transparency etc - see worksheets in duo tang)
- identify the change: physical or chemical
- describe examples of physical and chemical change
- identify/describe changes of state in matter (diagram below)
- describe substances using properties of matter (milk example done in class)
