Original Promptvocabulary list for 7th-grade body systems, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and food/energy standards.
This resource focuses on the interconnection between energy in living systems, specifically examining the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Students learn essential vocabulary related to human body systems and the flow of energy in biological contexts. The material includes glossary terms, tasks for conceptual understanding, comparison of inputs and outputs of photosynthesis and respiration, and an exploration of how these processes are integrated with body systems such as the digestive and circulatory systems. Activities encourage visual mapping, categorization, analogy creation, and the use of critical thinking strategies such as Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning (CER) to foster a deeper understanding of energy dynamics in living organisms.
