    | Unit Description
Humans are complex organisms that maintain a narrow set of internal conditions through a system of feedback and communication mechanisms between multiple organ systems. In this unit, students will explore how body systems interact to effectively monitor and respond to both internal and external environmental changes. Human adaptations for divergent environmental conditions may be integrated into this unit to build understanding of natural selection and differential reproductive success. Students complete both Making Connections (a NY State required lab) and a human thermoregulation laboratory, both of which focus on skills of experimental design. View the video above, based on the Unit 3 Prezi, to learn more about the storyline for Unit 3.
