Strand 3: Characteristic and Interactions of Living Organisms<br />

2. Living organisms carry out life processes in order to survive<br />

Major Objectives IS Suggested Activities<br />

These samples activities offer ideas and are not<br />

meant to limit teacher or student<br />

Concept A: The cell contains a set of structures<br />

called organelles that interact to carry out life<br />

processes through physical and chemical means<br />

Concept B: Photosynthesis and cellular<br />

respiration are complementary processes<br />

necessary to the survival of most organisms on<br />

Earth<br />

resourcefulness.<br />

Grades 6 & 8<br />

Grade 6 & 8<br />

Suggested Assessments<br />

These samples assessments offer ideas and<br />

are not meant to limit teacher or student<br />

resourcefulness<br />

Concept C: Complex multicellular organisms<br />

have systems that interact to carry out life<br />

processes through physical and chemical means.<br />

Concept D: Cells carry out chemical<br />

transformations that use energy for the synthesis<br />

or breakdown of organic compounds<br />

Concept E: Protein structure and function are<br />

coded by the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid)<br />

molecule<br />

Concept F: Cellular activities and responses can<br />

maintain stability internally while external<br />

conditions are changing (homeostasis)<br />

Concept G: Life processes can be disrupted by<br />

disease (intrinsic failures of the organ systems or<br />

by infection due to other organisms)<br />

body. (4.7)<br />

a. Students will accurately<br />

explain how some diseases<br />

are caused by infectious<br />

agents while others can be<br />

caused by heredity or<br />

environmental factors.<br />

category.<br />
