AC9S8U02 Year 8 Science

Content descriptor analyse the relationship between structure and function of cells, tissues and organs in a plant and an animal organ system and explain how these systems enable survival of the individual

Elaborations

• • Elaboration comparing 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional representations of organ systems to understand how organs are positioned within the body
• • Elaboration comparing the structure and function of analogous systems in a plant and an animal
• • Elaboration examining the specialised cells and tissues involved in structure and function of particular organs in an organ system
• • Elaboration describing the structure of each organ in a system and relating its function to the overall function of the system
• • Elaboration researching how a disorder in cells or tissues can affect how an organ functions, such as how hardening of the arteries can lead to poor circulation or heart disease
• • Elaboration investigating how an artificial organ mimics or augments the function or functions of a real organ
