MAIN
MESSAGES with SCIENCE STANDARD OBJECTIVES:
| 1. |
Bones
are living tissue, and they change and grow. |
 |
Bones
are living tissue. |
|
Specialized
cells perform specialized functions in multicellular organisms. |
|
Disease
is a breakdown in structures or function of an organism. |
|
People
have always had problems and have invented tools and techniques
to solve problems. |
|
Tools
help scientists make better observations, measurements,
and equipment for investigations. |
| 2.
|
Bones
give your body form for function and protect your insides. |
|
Each
plant and animal has different structures that serve different
functions in growth, survival and reproduction. For example,
humans have distinct body structures for walking, holding,
seeing and talking. |
|
The
body has systems for digestion, respiration, reproduction,
circulation, excretion, movement, control and coordination,
and for protection from human organism disease. |
| 3. |
What
you do affects how your bones change and grow. |
|
Individuals
have some responsibility for their own health. |
|
Nutrition
is essential to health. Foods provide vitamins and minerals,
essential to keep the entire body working well, and energy
and materials for growth and repair of body parts, including
bones. |
|
As
people grow up, the amounts and kinds of food and exercise
needed by the body may change in order to maintain healthy
bones. |
|
Different
substances and activities can damage the body and how
it functions. |
|
There
are a variety of careers that relate to maintaining healthy
bones. |
|
Science
and Technology are reciprocal. Science helps drive technology
as it addresses questions that demand more sophisticated
instruments. Technology is essential to science because
it provides instruments and techniques that enable observations
of objects and phenomena that are otherwise unobservable. |
| 4. |
Bones
have interesting uses in art and culture. |
|
Bones,
like many natural materials have been and continue to
be used in different cultures in a variety of ways both
for practical, artistic and leisure applications. |
|
Skeletons
are integral images/symbols in many celebrations and
ceremonies.
