Levels of Organization
O: We will recognize the levels of organization in plants and animals.
Plants and animals are both made of smaller parts working together to form a
whole.
cell - the smallest unit of structure and function of living things
Unicellular organisms are made up of just one cell that performs all of its life
functions.
tissue – a group of similar cells that perform a specific function
animal tissues – muscle, epithelial, nerve and connective
plant – transport, protective and ground
organ - group of at least two tissues working together to perform a specific
function.
heart, lung, stomach, brain, leaf, stem
system - a group of two or more organs that work together to perform a
function.
skeletal system, circulatory system, muscular system, nervous system
organism - combines cells, tissues, organs, and systems
Multi-cellular organisms are made of more than one cell.
Cells, tissues, organs and organ systems make up the structure of multi-cellular
organisms.
A: A cell is the smallest unit of structure and function in a living thing.
O: We will explore levels of organization using the microscope and virtual
dissections.
A: epithelial tissue, heart, skeletal system
O: We will continue to look at levels of organization.
A: cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
O: We will watch the digital lesson on levels of organization.
A: leaf, stem, root, flower
O: We will review what we have learned this six weeks.
A: no
