Content Standard(s):
Science 9 ) Examine evidence to support an argument that the internal and external
structures of plants (e.g., thorns, leaves, stems, roots, colored petals, xylem,
phloem) and animals (e.g., heart, stomach, lung, brain, skin) function to
support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.

Crosscutting Concepts: Systems and System Models; Structure and Function
Disciplinary Core Idea: From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
Evidence Of Student Attainment:
Students:
Argue from evidence to support that the internal and external structures of plants function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
Argue from evidence to support that the internal and external structures of animals function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction. Teacher Vocabulary:
argue
articulate
evidence
internal
external
structure
survival
function
behavior
reproduction Knowledge:
Students know:
Internal and External structures serve specific functions within plants and animals.
The functions of internal and external structures can support survival, growth, behavior and/or reproduction in plants and animals.
Different structures work together as part of a system to support survival, growth, behavior, and/or reproduction. Skills:
Students are able to:
Articulate an explanation from evidence explaining how the internal and external structures of plants and animals function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
Determine the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence collected, including whether or not it supports a claim about the role of internal and external structures of plants and animals in supporting survival, growth, behavior, and/or reproduction.
Use reasoning to connect the relevant and appropriate evidence to support an argument about the function of the internal and external structures of plants and animals. Understanding:
Students understand that:
Plants and animals have both internal and external structures that serve various functions in growth, survival, behavior, and reproduction. AMSTI Resources:

Create a list of multiple ideas, sketches, or thumbnail-sketches before beginning the final version of an artwork.
Identify, select, and vary art materials, tools and processes to achieve desired results in their artwork.
Brainstorm (alone or with others) potential art styles for a given piece of art, such as Monet's Water Lilies .
Create an artwork from direct observation (still-life, self-portrait, figure drawing, etc.).
Design a two-dimensional drawings of a futuristic art room, town, or planet
Use wood, found objects, wire, paper, or clay-based materials to construct a three-dimensional form.
Locate business logos in the community and explore the visual arts skills and materials that were used to create these works.
Engage in group critiques of one's work and the work of others.
Experiment with art materials by using them in unusual and creative ways to express ideas and convey meaning.
Use and care for materials, tools, and equipment in a manner that prevents danger to oneself and others.
Mix equal parts of a primary and a secondary color located beside each other on the color wheel to create a tertiary color.
Use the design principles of repetition and alignment to add visual unity to an artwork.
Create a painting using a monochromatic color scheme by using one color (red) adding white to create a tint (a lighter value--pink) and adding black to the color (red) to create a shade (darker value).
