37 Section 2: Structures and functions in living organisms j) Coordination and response Students will be assessed on their ability to: 2.80 understand how organisms are able to respond to changes in their environment 2.81 understand that homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment, and that body water content and body temperature are both examples of homeostasis 2.82 understand that a co-ordinated response requires a stimulus, a receptor and an effector. Activity: Students could list the receptor and effector for each image of a stimulus presented. Class practical: Assessing skin sensitivity to temperature. Demonstration: Water (sweat) level and temperature before and after exercise.
