6th Grade Science Scales – Unit 1: The Human Body



Reporting Cluster: Structure, Functions and Relationships of the Human BodyTopicKnowledge:Assessments:Body Organization4In addition to score 3.0 performance, the student demonstrates in-depth inferences and applications that go beyond what was taught.3ProficientStudents demonstrate they have developed an understanding of: The relationship between cells, tissues, organs and organ systems.Specialized cells perform specialized functions in multi-cellular organisms. (Groups of specialized cells cooperate to form a tissue, such as a muscle). Different tissues are, in turn, grouped together to form larger functional units, called organs. How living things must maintain a stable internal environment to survive2Students will recognize or recall: Specific vocabulary such as:cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, homeostasisBasic knowledge such as: all living things are made of cellscells come from other cellsall cells contain DNAStructure and Function of the Musculoskeletal System4In addition to score 3.0 performance, the student demonstrates in-depth inferences and applications that go beyond what was taught.3ProficientStudents demonstrate they have developed an understanding of:the relationship between bones and muscles and how they work together to create movementThe way the three types of muscles function in the human body the way various exercises benefit some kinds of muscles, and not others, and recommendations of exercises for specific muscles2Students will recognize or recall :Specific vocabulary such as:voluntary, involuntary, marrow, bone, muscle, cardiac, tendon, ligament, cartilage, jointsBasic knowledge such as:the functions of the skeletal and muscular systems3 kinds of muscles (skeletal, smooth, cardiac)the name and location of main bones in the body (femur, humerus, rib, pelvis, cranium, tibia, radius, ulna, phalanges, vertebrae, clavicle)red blood cells are produced in bone marrow Reporting Cluster: Structure, Functions and Relationships of the Human BodyTopicKnowledge:Assessments:Structure and Function of the Cardiovascular /Respiratory System4In addition to score 3.0 performance, the student demonstrates in-depth inferences and applications that go beyond what was taught.3ProficientStudents demonstrate they have developed an understanding of: how blood circulates through the body and what happens in each vessel along the waythe difference between systemic and pulmonary systemsthe purpose of respiration in the lungs and at the cellular levelhow and why your heart rate and breathing are affected by exerciseHow 2Students will recognize or recall: Specific vocabulary such as:artery, vein, capillaries, red blood cell, platelets, white blood cell, plasma, heart, atrium, ventricle, valve, alveoli, bronchi, trachea, respiration, oxygen, carbon dioxide, circulation, blood pressure, mucusBasic knowledge such as: blood circulates throughout the body in a closed system of arteries, veins and capillariescarbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged at the body cells and also at the lungs via the capillariesthe heart is a 4 chambered organ that functions as a pump to circulate bloodarteries take blood out of the heart, veins bring it backwhere you can find your pulse and how to calculate heart rateStructure and Function of the Digestive System4In addition to score 3.0 performance, the student demonstrates in-depth inferences and applications that go beyond what was taught.3ProficientStudents demonstrate they have developed an understanding of:how accessory organs (liver, gall bladder and pancreas) are involved indirectly in digestionhow the body absorbs and uses nutrients from foodwhere and how chemical and mechanical digestion takes place along the pathwaythe importance of waste removalthe role of saliva, mucus and other fluids in digestion2Students will recognize or recall :Specific vocabulary such as:mechanical, chemical, mouth, esophagus, stomach, colon, small intestine, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, rectum, anus, enzyme, acid, villi, nutrient, mucus, saliva, chyme, bileBasic knowledge such as:the pathway food travels through your digestive systemnutrients come from fooddigestion begins in your mouthwhat happens to the parts of food we don’t useStructure and Function of the Nervous System4In addition to score 3.0 performance, the student demonstrates in-depth inferences and applications that go beyond what was taught.3ProficientStudents demonstrate they have developed an understanding of: the stimulus/response relationship in each of the 5 senseshow an impulse travels through the nervous systemthe role of the various regions of the brain in relationship to body functions2Students will recognize or recall :Specific vocabulary such as:brain, spinal cord, vertebrae, axon, neurons, dendrites, cerebrum, cerebellum, medulla, lobes, memory, impulse, reflexBasic knowledge such as:the five sensesnerves control communication between the brain and the bodysensory neurons vs. motor neuronsthe brain is divided in to regions with different jobsGrowth and Development4In addition to score 3.0 performance, the student demonstrates in-depth inferences and applications that go beyond what was taught.3ProficientStudents demonstrate they have developed an understanding of: how a fertilized egg develops into an embryo, fetus and babythat chromosomes in the sperm and egg combine to form a viable cellhow the menstrual cycle regulates fertilitywhy the body changes during puberty2Students will recognize or recall: Specific vocabulary such as:puberty, hormones, gestation, reproduction, uterus, testes, vagina, penis, fallopian tubes, vas deferens, urethra, ovaries, egg, sperm, zygote, fetus, embryo, fertilization, ovulation, menstruation, hygieneBasic knowledge such as: the differences between the male and female reproductive systemsthe changes of puberty (social, emotional, physical)the process of fertilizationmenstrual cyclethe number of chromosomes contained in each sperm and eggDisease and System Breakdown4In addition to score 3.0 performance, the student demonstrates in-depth inferences and applications that go beyond what was taught.3ProficientStudents demonstrate they have developed an understanding of:the body’s response to disease (immune system)how vaccines prevent disease the role of antibiotics in fighting infectionshow epidemics occur and influence societyhow outside chemicals affect body system functionshow lifestyle choices influence the probability of acquiring disease2Students will recognize or recall :Specific vocabulary such as:white blood cells, T-cells, antibodies, virus, bacteria, cancer, antibiotics, cholesterol, heart disease, disability, stroke, sexually transmitted infection, high blood pressure, depressant, stimulant, hallucinogen, inhalants, autoimmune, diabetes, vaccine, immune Basic knowledge such as:ways to prevent infectious diseasethe difference between infectious and non-infectious diseasethe effects of the various classes of drugs on the bodythe difference between over the counter, prescription and illicit drugsthe way that lifestyle choices affect health Suggested Instructional
