Assessment Boundary - S.MS.LS.1.8.AB:
Assessment does not include mechanisms for the transmission of this information.
Science and Engineering Practices - 6-8.SEP8.1:
Gather, read, and synthesize information from multiple appropriate sources and assess the credibility, accuracy, and possible bias of each publication and methods used, and describe how they are supported or not supported by evidence.
Disciplinary Core Ideas - S.MS.LS.1.8.DCI:
LS1.D: Information Processing
•Each sense receptor responds to different inputs (electromagnetic, mechanical, chemical), transmitting them as signals that travel along nerve cells to the brain.
•(NYSED) Plants respond to stimuli such as gravity (geotropism) and light (phototropism).
Crosscutting Concepts - CC2.5:
Cause and effect relationships may be used to predict phenomena in natural or designed systems.
