How do food molecules reach our muscles? – Structure and Function of Organ Systems, Organs and Cells
In this activity, students learn about how food is digested and how the digested food molecules reach the muscles.
Students analyze multiple examples of the relationship between structure and function in the organs and cells of the digestive system.
Students also analyze several examples that illustrate how organs and organ systems work together to accomplish functions needed by the organism.
Finally, students use a claim, evidence and reasoning framework to evaluate the claim that structure is related to function in cells, organs and organ systems.
The Student Handout is available in the first two attached files and as a Google doc designed for use in distance learning and online instruction. The Teacher Notes, available in the last two attached files, provide instructional suggestions and background information and explain how this activity is aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards.

7th grade Science
This was a great resource for our Cell task stations for students to grasp an understanding of cells. It was a great springboard from their 6th grade science class and learning about the body systems. Thank you.

Do these lesson have learning objectives listed some where?
Learning Goals Provided in Teacher Notes
Each activity has Teacher Notes which provide learning goals (i.e. learning objectives). These Teacher Notes also provide suggestions for implementation and background biology.
