Organization defining problems (for engineering)
Essential Question/s DCI: LS1.A: All living things are made up of
1. How are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells similar, and cells, which is the smallest unit that can be said
how are they different? to be alive. An organism may consist of one single cell
2. What do the structures in a cell do?
(unicellular) or many different numbers and types of cells
3. How do unicellular and multicellular organisms differ?
(multicellular).
4. How does cell differentiation lead to the organization
within a multicellular organism?
CCC: Structure and function; Scale, proportion and quantity;

Organelles and their functions: focus on nucleus, that living things are made of cells; either one cell or many

Unicellular vs. multicellular organisms MS-LS1-2: Develop and use a model to describe the function of
Prokaryotic organisms: structure and function a cell as a whole and ways parts of cells contribute to the
Eukaryotic organisms: structure and function function.
Prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic organisms MS-LS1-3:Use argument supported by evidence for how the
Differentiation and types of differentiating cells body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups

Human Impacts on Earth Systems
Human activities have significantly altered the biosphere,
sometimes damaging or destroying natural habitats and causing
the extinction of other species. But changes to Earths
environments can have different impacts (negative and positive)
for different living things. (MS-ESS3-3)
Typically as human populations and per-capita consumption of
natural resources increase, so do the negative impacts on Earth
unless the activities and technologies involved are engineered
otherwise. (MS-ESS3-3),(MS-ESS3-4)
