=Unit 3: Living Systems=
 * 1) Unit Three Planning 2011
 * 2) Unit Three Social Science

Standards
Plants and animals have structures for respiration, digestion, waste disposal, and transport of materials. As a basis for understanding this concept: a. Students know many multicellular organisms have specialized structures to support the transport of materials. b. Students know how blood circulates through the heart chambers, lungs, and body and how carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) are exchanged in the lungs and tissues. c. Students know the sequential steps of digestion and the roles of teeth and the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and colon in the function of the digestive system. d. Students know the role of the kidney in removing cellular waste from blood and converting it into urine, which is stored in the bladder. g. Students know plant and animal cells break down sugar to obtain energy, a process resulting in carbon dioxide (CO ) and water (respiration).
 * Life Science Standard 2**

Critical questions to ask while teaching:

 * 1) What do all living systems do?
 * 2) What does each system do, and how does it do it?

What they will understand at the end of the unit:

 * 1) How do these systems in our body help these processes?
