​Unit 2A:  Integumentary System
Learning Goals: 

1. I can identify the structures and functions of the integumentary system.

2. I can identify and describe accessory structures and their functions (hair, nails, sudoriferous and sebaceous glands).

3. I can construct an explanation about the relationship between the structures of the integumentary system and their role in protection, eliminating waste products, and regulating body temperature.

4. I can develop an argument that represents the role of the integumentary system in maintaining homeostasis.

 Unit 2B: Skeletal System

Learning Goals:

​1. Identify and describe the functions of the skeletal system.
2. Distinguish between long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones and provide an example of each.
3. Identify the parts of a typical long bone.
4. Describe the microscopic structure of compact bone, and compare it with that of spongy bone.
5. Explain the process by which bones are formed and how they grow in length and width.
6. Diagnose specific types of bone fractures on X-ray images
7. Describe and diagnose disorders of the skeletal system

 

Essential Questions:
