State Standards

Alignment to NJSLS - Science:
MS-LS1-3 Use argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells.

MS-LS1-5 Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of organisms.

HS-LS1-2 Develop and use a model to illustrate the hierarchical organization of interacting
systems that provide specific functions within multicellular organisms.

HS-LS1-3 Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that feedback mechanisms
maintain homeostasis.

Connections to NJSLS - English Language Arts:
