AP.LO: LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION
- AP.LO.1: Hierarchy of Organization
- AP.LO.2: Anatomical Terminology & Body Regions
- AP.LO.3: Types of Tissues
- AP.LO.4: Homeostasis
|
| Understandings: |
- Cells are made of atoms, which are organized into molecules and biological molecules, which are organized into the complex structures which make up cells. Organelles are an example.
- Organelles have specific functions, sometimes working together.
- Cells of the same type are organized into tissues.
- Tissues, working together, make up an organ.
- Different organs, working together, make up an organ system.
- Organ systems interact, making it possible for the human body to function.

| Learning Targets** |
- Use electronic resources to retrieve, create, and curate learning about human anatomy and physiology.
- State the hierarchy of organization in living things, starting with the atom and building to a human and continuing to the biosphere.
- Describe each link in the hierarchy and explain why it holds the position in the hierarchy that it does.

Assessments |
|
- Sketch a picture of each link (level) and describe.
- Record in group on whiteboard and then in individual notes.
|
- Quiz: description, placement, and rationale for each level
|
| Visions into Practice: Classroom Examples |
| Designing technological/engineering solutions using science concepts |
