    • What patterns of reproduction and development are found in plants and animals and how are they regulated?
    • What is the adaptive significance of alternation of generations in the major groups of plants?
    • How does the organization of cells, tissues, and organs determine structure and function in plant and animal systems?
    • How are structure and function related in the various organ systems?
    • How do the organ systems of animals interact?
    • What adaptive features have contributed to the success of various plants and animals on land?
    • How does the organization of cells, tissues, and organs determine structure and function in plant and animal systems?
    • What are the responses of plants and animals to environmental cues, and how do hormones mediate them?
    1. Review of all major animal tissue types
    2. Identify and develop understanding of major organ systems, list the organs found in each, and their primary functions

Time Range:
unspecified

Suggested Teaching Strategies:

• Students will read and take their own notes on the chapter (maybe in outline form homework)
• Lecture and demonstration on organ systems and organs to reinforce anatomical terms
• Students take notes on lectures (maybe in outline form)
• Students will fill out crossword puzzle and worksheet on organ systems
• Students will fill out chapter study guide to compliment their lecture and board notes
• Application: Students will apply their knowledge of levels of organizations to an example outside the human body
• Critical Thinking: Using terms listed in chapter students will be given a body part and will be required to describe its relative position
• Critical Thinking: When given a system of the body the students will be asked to go from the simplest to most complex level of development

Aligned Resources:

• Lab: Use of "Mannequin", plastic bones, and black line drawing and identification sheets for students to learn orientation of the body. A plastic torso man is also used to remove and then reassemble internal organs.
• Worksheets and study guide chapter seventeen

Assessment:
