Trimester
2- Homeostasis
DIGESTION
- structure and
function of the digestive system
- constructing a
nutritious diet
RESPIRATION
- structure and
function of the respiratory system

atmosphere, blood, cells
- mechanics of
breathing
TRANSPORTATION-
the circulatory system
- blood (components, functions, typing, clotting)
- the heart (structure, path of blood, heartbeat
regulation)
- blood vessels (compare/contrast types)
- use common diagnostic
tools to evaluate heart rate, heart sound, blood pressure, the electrical
signals of the heart.
COMMUNICATION-
the nervous and endocrine systems
- endocrine system
(hormones and the structures that make them)
- nervous system
(neurons, organization, brain, neural pathways)
- senses (somatic and
special sense, structure/function of eye)
