Context and Rationale

The forward planning document presented, guides and teaches the students content knowledge based on
cells, microscopes, and the body systems found throughout the body
...
The base
understanding is very important, as the microscopes are introduced so students can visually see what cells
look like, to identify the differences between a tomato, an onion, a human and a plant cell
...
This information provides the students with an insight into how humans move,
grow, excrete, and function throughout our daily lifestyle
...
This gives the
students an ability to combine the two systems and extend their learning to see how most of the systems
interact
...
The purpose of implementing the body systems in this order, is to provide the students a
link between each system
...
The
musculoskeletal works very closely to the circulatory system, as all movement and exercise conducted from
the body, is supplied from the circulatory system, as muscles need oxygenated blood to work sufficiently
...
Overall, cells are the
basic units of living things, that have specialised structures and functions
