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.
