Performance Expectations:

MS-LS1-2. Develop and use a model to describe the function of a cell as a whole and ways parts of cells contribute to the function.

  • Science & Engineering Practices

    Developing and Using Models - Develop and use a model to describe a phenomenon.

  • Disciplinary Core Ideas

    LS1.A: Structure and Function - Within cells, special structures are responsible for particular functions, and the cell membrane forms the boundary that controls what enters and leaves the cell.

  • Crosscutting Concepts

    Structure and Function - Investigating or designing new systems or structures requires a detailed examination of the properties of different materials, the structures of different components, and connections of components to reveal its function and/or solve a problem.
