Levels of Organization By Miss Musich
Why do we need to organize? • Organize – to put something in order • We organize to make something more manageable. • For example, the MWMS is organized! • Students are the basic unit • A group of students make up a grade (6th, 7th or 8th) • A group of grades make up a house (6th + 7th + 8th = Red) • A group of houses make up the whole school. • Why do we organize like this?
Cells • Cells are the smallest unit in the body • So small you need a microscope to see them! Red Blood Cells Onion Cells
Cells have organelles! • Organelles are like organs for cells! cell membrane nucleus cytoplasm
Tissue! Not that kind of tissue… Bone tissue is a group of bone cells working together!
An organ! Try again! A group of bone tissue makes up an organ like the femur seen here! Did you know the femur is the longest bone in the body?
An organ system! A group of organs (bones) make up the skeletal system!
Let’s jump back… …to my example earlier. • What do MW students represent? • Cells • What do grades represent? • Tissue • What do houses represent? • Organs • What does the entire school represent? • An Organ System
Study Strip! • Once you receive a strip of construction paper, fold it into four squares so it looks like this: • Then illustrate and label each box with the levels of organization starting from smallest to largest. Also, please write the definition of these structures on the back
