Systems and subsystems

This packet provides a fun way for students to learn about systems while taking notes using a brochure. Two different versions are included: a version with full notes and spaces for student input, and a brochure template for students to take full notes. A worksheet on systems is also included. I used this as a supplement to my science notebooking when I found my students looking for something a bit different from everyday discussion and notes! After students complete their brochures it‘s time t

Life Science Bundle: Systems / Subsystems & Earth's Major Spheres

Introduce students to what a system is with the first product. Then use the second product to help students connect that understanding to the 4 major spheres that make up Earth: Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Geosphere and Biosphere.

Life Science- Systems and Subsystems : Define, Investigate & Explain

With the help of a backpack, students first learn that a system is anything that requires different parts to interact in order to create some type of function. Then also learn a SUBsystem is a smaller system within a larger system. Moving on, students investigate a variety of systems (SO MANY GREAT OPTIONS) provided by the teacher by identifying the interacting parts and any subsystems there may be. Finally, students select a system of their own to explain by drawing, labeling and completing s

Earth is a System with Interacting Subsystems : Define, Investigate & Explain

Students first learn the subsystems and their characteristics within Earth's system . Moving on, students investigate a variety of scenarios provided by the teacher by identifying the interacting parts and explaining how they interact with each other. Finally, students write a scenario of their own that explains how the different spheres interact together.

Human Body System Poster/Gallery Walk/C.E.R Project

What could be more fun than tracing your friends body and then drawing one of the 6 NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) body systems inside the tracing. Six body systems are required for understanding at the middle school level in life sciences and then expounded on in high school. During high school Biology students will be able to describe these body systems and discuss how they relate to one another. The BIG question being: "Is the body a system of interacting subsystems made from organ

Human Body & Interacting Organ Systems - MS-LS1-3 Circulatory & Respiratory Lab

Engage students in Planning and Carrying Out Investigations in this two-part lesson that digs into the concept that the body is a system of interacting subsystems made of groups of cells (MS-LS1-3). In this activity, students carry out an investigation from given methods to provide evidence that organ systems interact (focusing on the circulatory system and respiratory system)design their own investigation to better understand the function of and interactions between the circulatory and respirat

Levels of Organization Worksheet Cells Tissues Organs and Systems

NEW! This is a SIMPLE but FUN worksheet on the levels of organization that includes organelles, cells, tissues, organs, and systems . It's an easy way to grade and assess student content knowledge as you work towards meeting the NGSS Performance Expectation MS-LS1-3 or Texas TEKS 6.12F in your biology unit or as you reinforce the NGSS Crosscutting Concept of Scale, Proportion, and Quantity! Even great as a SUB PLAN or as homework!! A link to a FREE online resource to read about the levels of orga

Human Body Systems Cells: Next Generation Science MS-LS1-3

This product addresses concepts related to From Molecules to Organisms -Structures and Processes: Use argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells. The product looks at 9 human body subsystems and how they are interdependent and interact. The packet includes posters, "matchbooks" of information on each subsystem that includes a diagram, the function, the organs, and other pertinent content. The matchbooks are assembled by stu

Infectious Disease Spread and Immune System Response To Viruses - Body Systems

Launch learning into body systems in this engaging simulation to observe the spread of disease, such as a virus, and explore why some individuals become infected and fall ill, others become infected and remain asymptomatic, and some go on unscathed. After engaging in the hands-on whole-class simulation, students obtain information from a web video to discover the basics of how the immune system works in preparation for further unit activities that explore how the body is a system of interacting

Middle School Life Science- Blood, Puke, Scars, and Dinner!

This lesson is compatible with the Middle School Next Generation Science Standards* MS-LS1-3 where students are asked to “[u]se argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells” and MS-LS1-7 where students must [d]evelop a model to describe how food is rearranged through chemical reactions forming new molecules that support growth and /or release energy as this matter moves through an organism.” Explore the taboo science of the hum

Earth Systems Booklet & Interaction Cards

Students research the main subsystems or spheres of earth (biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere) and use the included booklet template to summarize and describe each system. This does not include information on the systems - students will need to use sources from their classroom or online searches. The booklet includes a cover page for student-created illustrations, a page for each of the spheres (including the optional cryopsphere - frozen water), a page for additional writing spac
