Introduction:
Scientists organize multi-cellular structures into 5 basic levels from cells to organisms.
Organs are different types of tissue that work together to as a part of an organ system.
Examples of organs are the lungs, brains, and eyes. Organ systems are made of two or
more organs. Organ systems work together and interact to keep you alive.
Standard(s):

BI9. a. Students know how the complementary activity of major body systems provides
cells with oxygen and nutrients and removes toxic waste products such as carbon
dioxide.
 BI9. b. Students know how the nervous system mediates communication between
different parts of the body and the body’s interactions with the environment.
 BI9. c. Students know how feedback loops in the nervous and endocrine systems
regulate conditions in the body.
Learning Objective (s):
SWBAT…
