Harmony is to Homeostasis
as
Conflict is to Disease
This term we constantly tied our study of the human body back to the 7th grade global theme of Conflict and Harmony. The common thread among the entire unit was how each system contributes to the maintenance of Homeostasis in the body, or in other words its harmony. In addition, as we discuss how the body works its natural to discuss what happens when a system faces conflict such as a disease, disorder, or injury. Students investigated a conflict in the body more in depth for the individual component of their project.
