HS-LS1-3. Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that feedback mechanisms maintain homeostasis.
Science & Engineering Practices
Analyzing and Interpreting Data - Analyze data using tools, technologies, and/or models (e.g., computational, mathematical) in order to make valid and reliable scientific claims
Disciplinary Core Ideas
LS1.A: Structure and Function - Feedback mechanisms maintain a living system’s internal conditions within certain limits and mediate behaviors, allowing it to remain alive and functional even as external conditions change within some range. Feedback mechanisms can encourage (through positive feedback) or discourage (negative feedback) what is going on inside the living system.
Crosscutting Concepts
Stability and Change - Feedback (negative or positive) can stabilize or destabilize a system.
