Unit 14: Transport
Essential Question 1: How and why do necessary life materials move within an organism?
Essential Question 2: What are the structures of the human circulatory system and their functions?
Essential Question 3: How does the circulatory system of animals interact with other body systems?
Homework
Science is a way to teach how something gets to be known, what is not known, to what extent things are known (for nothing is known absolutely), how to handle doubt and uncertainty, what the rules of evidence are, how to think about things so that judgments can be made, how to distinguish truth from fraud, and from show.
Richard Feynman( 1918 – 1988) an American physicist known for expanding the theory of quantum electrodynamics and particle theory.

Questions of the week: Extra Work
CONTENT KNOWLEDGE OBJECTIVES
Initial Understanding:
- Understand and explain the necessity for a means of transport in all organisms.
- Explore the transport system in a vascular plant.
Developing an Interpretation:
- Explain the existence of a system of transport in organisms whose cells are distant from the environment.
Making Connections:
- Compare and contrast the variety of systems that provide transport in organism.
Taking a Critical Stance:
- Appreciate the common characteristics as well as the improvements in complexity and efficiency of transport systems of organisms.
- Students will be able to demonstrate an appreciation of the importance of maintaining cardiovascular health due to its vital role in connecting the other systems.
