What best describes the FUNCTION of blood?

1

What is found in a plant cell but NOT an animal cell?

1

Humans are _ and ____.

Cells need what to grow and reproduce?

Part 1: What happens at the growth plate within bones as a child grows into an adult?
We made observations of x-rays from children and adults and found out that there are gaps called growth plates in between different bones in children. The image to the right is an xray of a knee of a child and an adult.

2

On this assessment, you will apply what you have figured out about how our body heals to fill gaps from injuries to explain what happens to the structures of the bone at the growth plate as a child grows into an adult. On the image below, circle one part of the body where there is a growth plate that you will focus on in your explanation.

Required

10

Using key science ideas from the unit, explain what you think happens to the structures of the bone at the growth plate as a child grows into an adult?

Think about what you have figured out about how the different parts and systems of the body work together. Use your key model ideas, science notebooks, the posters we have created together, and evidence from the growth plate images. Be sure to include the interactions between the different systems in our body that need to happen to support this.

Sentence starters
Claim: "As the child grows into an adult, the bone at the growth plate will..."
Evidence: "I know this because..."
System Interactions: "The and __ work together to..."

Required

5

Explain what happens in the different parts of the body (muscle, skin, blood, or nerves) that are around the growing bone you selected, as the bone grows.

Required

6

Brainstorm and list two other living things that you think might go through a similar process of growth and then explain why.

Part 2: What is happening in this plant?

Required

5

What have we figured out in our unit about plants? Are they living? How do we know?

Required

3

Analyze the images above taken of a small plant over the course of 5 days.
What changes do you notice in the structures of the plant over time?
(Parts of a plant include: roots, stem, leaves, flowers)

Required

3

State a claim for what you think is happening inside the plant between day 1 and day 5 to result in these changes in its structures. (1 sentence!)
Claim: "Between day 1 and day 5 the plant..."

Required

4

What additional evidence about this plant would support your claim? How would you investigate that?
