Content Standards:

SAP 4: Students will understand the chemical basis for how the body transforms and uses energy and how our cells use crucial molecules.

• a) Examine how our cells use carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
• b) Investigate chemical processes involved in storage and release of energy.

SCSh2. Students will use standard safety practices for all classroom laboratory investigations and activities.

• a. Follow correct procedures for use of scientific apparatus and demonstrate appropriate technique in all laboratory situations.
• b. Follow correct protocol for identifying and reporting safety problems and violations.

Literacy Standards:

• L11-12RST2: Determine the central ideas of conclusions of a text; summarize complex concepts, processes, or information presented in a text by paragraphing them in simpler but still accurate terms.
• L11-12RST3: Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments…

Content Objectives (TSWBAT):

1. Differentiate between the terms matter and energy and list the four major energy forms used in the body.
2. Distinguish between molecules and compounds.
3. Compare and contrast the synthesis, decomposition, and exchange reactions.
4. Explain the importance of water in body function.
5. Identify common salts vital to body functioning and explain how they impact pH levels in the body.
6. Compare and contrast the structure and function of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids as they relate to anatomy and physiology.
7. Locate the major body cavities and list the chief organs in each cavity.

Language Objectives:

1. Discuss the role of elements and molecules in the human body.
