STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC:
Etymology;
Muscular System
Cat Dissection
BIG IDEAS:
UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS):
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
• How can the knowledge of language help us to communicate
and understand?
• How can affixes and root words be used to determine the
meaning of new vocabulary or content terminology?
• Organisms share common characteristics of life.
• How is structure related to function at all biological levels of
organization??
(Content standards, assessment anchors, eligible content) objectives, and skill
focus)
• Effective use of vocabulary builds social and academic knowledge.
• Explain how affixes and root words can be used to determine the meaning of
new vocabulary or content terminology.
• Structure is related to function at all biological levels of organization.
• Eukaryotic cells can differentiate and organize making it possible for
multicellularity.
• Through a variety of mechanisms organisms seek to maintain a biological
balance between their internal and external environments.
Students will understand:
• How changes in word parts affect meaning;
• How to decipher the meaning of medical terminolgy by analyzing both the
phonetic and the morphological parts of words
• Cell differentiation occurs many times during development of a multicellular
organism giving rise to a diversity of cell types.
• Organs work together as a system to perform common functions.
• The pattern of form following function is reflected at all biological levels of
organization..
VOCABULARY: Aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration,
antagonist, insertion, isometric contraction, isotonic
contraction, motor unit, muscle twitch, myofibril,

STUDENT OBJECTIVES (COMPETENCIES/OUTCOMES):
Students will be able to:
• Apply word analysis skills (e.g.: syllabication, root words,
prefixes, suffixes, inflectional endings) to read and unlock
meaning of words.
• Use the knowledge of language, including word origins and
morphology to unlock meaning of specialized vocabulary
across disciplines.
• Develop an increasingly sophisticated working vocabulary
including specialized vocabulary from academic content
areas.
• Identify and describe various ways models are used to
explain, interpret, and predict, biological
phenomena/systems.
• Cite examples of how structure is related to function at all
biological levels of organization.
• Compare and contrast the structural and functional
similarities and differences among living things.
