Science & Engineering Practices
Analyzing and Interpreting Data - Analyze data to identify design features or characteristics of the components of a proposed process or system to optimize it relative to criteria for success.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
LS1.A: Structure and Function - All living things are made up of cells. In organisms, cells work together to form tissues and organs that are specialized for particular body functions.
Crosscutting Concepts
Systems and System Models - Systems may interact with other systems; they
may have sub-systems and be a part of larger complex systems.
