GAP: Body Plans and Development
Students delve into the way in which organisms are organized. Their exploration includes investigation of life cycles, tissue organization and body plans.
- Explore the organization of multicellular organisms from the cell to system level
- Compare and contrast the structure of epithelial, connective, nervous and muscular tissue
- Investigate the process of morphogenesis in different organisms such as amphibians, insects and mammals
- Discover differences in how unicellular and multicellular organisms are organized
- Compare the body plans of asymmetric, radially symmetric and bilaterally symmetric organisms
