10a explaining __how the roles of the immune, endocrine, and nervous systems work together to maintain homeostasis.__

10b __investigating the factors that affect homeostasis (e.g. positive and negative feedback).__

What do these GSEs mean? What subtopics do students need to address to understand these GSEs?
(concept map in development) These GSE's pertain to the bodily processes that allow organisms to maintain a state of equilibrium to support life. Every living organism on this planet must be able to adapt and survive in their environments, they do so through homeostasis amongst other processes. Subtopics include: 10a: The student will need to know each of the three body systems (endocrine, nervous, immune), and how they function. They will also need to understand how each of them affects the body and how they interact. The student must also be able to define homeostasis. 10b: The student will need to be able to define both positive and negative feedback, and stimulus.
