Colorado: Science [1995]
Standard 3: Life Science: Students know and understand the characteristics and structure of living things, the processes of life, and how living things interact with each other and their environment. (Focus: Biology--Anatomy, Physiology, Botany, Zoology, Ecology) (Grades K - 12)
Currrent Standard
• 3.3 Students know and understand how the human body functions, factors that influence its structures and functions, and how these structures and functions compare with those of other organisms. (Grades K - 12)
Standard's Subset
In grades K-4, what students know and are able to do includes describing human body systems (for example, digestive, respiratory, circulatory, skeletal, muscular); (Grades K - 4)
In grades K-4, what students know and are able to do includes describing life cycles of selected organisms (for example, frog, chicken, butterfly, radish, bean plant). (Grades K - 4)
In grades K-4, what students know and are able to do includes describing the basic food requirements for humans as summarized in the nutrition pyramid; and (Grades K - 4)
As students in grades 5-8 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes comparing and contrasting the basic structures and functions of different types of cells (for example, single-celled organisms in pond water, Elodea, onion cell, human cheek (Grades 5 - 8)
As students in grades 5-8 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes describing and giving examples of noncommunicable diseases and communicable diseases (for example, heart disease and chicken pox). (Grades 5 - 8)
As students in grades 5-8 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes describing the growth and development of several organisms (for example, embryonic development of a vertebrate); (Grades 5 - 8)
As students in grades 5-8 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes describing the observable components and functions of a cell (for example, cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, chloroplasts; movement of molecules into and out of cells); (Grades 5 - 8)
As students in grades 5-8 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes describing the structures and functions of human body systems; and (Grades 5 - 8)
As students in grades 9-12 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes comparing and contrasting characteristics of and treatments for various types of medical problems (for example, accidental, infectious, genetic); (Grades 9 - 12)
As students in grades 9-12 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes describing cellular organelles and their function (for example, the relationship of ribosomes to protein synthesis; the relationship of mitochondria to energy transformation); (Grades 9 - 12)
As students in grades 9-12 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes describing the pattern and process of reproduction and development in several organisms (for example, earthworm, chick, human). (Grades 9 - 12)
As students in grades 9-12 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes differentiating among levels of organization (cells, tissues, and organs) and their roles within the whole organism; (Grades 9 - 12)
As students in grades 9-12 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes explaining human body functions in terms of interacting organ systems composed of specialized structures that maintain or restore health (for example, mechanisms involved in homeostasis [balance], such as feedback in the endocrine system); (Grades 9 - 12)
As students in grades 9-12 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes using examples to explain the relationship of structure and function in organisms; and (Grades 9 - 12)
