Life Sciences, Grade 9
Curriculum
This module supports grade 9 science students’ close reading, modeling, explanation, and argumentation practices while building their knowledge of human homeostasis—salt and water balance and sugar balance. The Homeostasis materials include an interactive notebook with integrated routines, scaffolds, and tasks; a set of texts presenting engaging news stories, data, and science principles; an annotated teacher guide; and additional supports for science discourse and argumentation. The high school Homeostasis investigation may be used with the Reading Science Models module and the MRSA investigation to provide more extensive opportunities to learn.
