1. Students will create a project to show the levels of organization in multicellular organisms (cells to tissues to organs to organ systems) and present it to the class. 2. The document provides guidance on the project, including that students can choose from formats like a song, diagram, or story. The project is due on October 29th. 3. It also describes warm up activities where students brainstorm examples of levels of organization and make observations of changes in their classroom terrariums.

1. Warm Up-
1. Write out the Levels of Organization within a multicellular
organism
2. Why do you think cells are the smallest level?

2.  Students will be able to model and explain the levels of
organization within a multicellular organism.

5.  Create a way to show the levels of organization differently than
what we have done already. You are making your own way to
organize this information. You will share this with the class. It
will count as a project grade. You will be able to work on this in
class on Monday and Tuesday. It will be due on Wednesday
10/29.
 Cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, etc.
 You may create one of the following or a combination of
the following:
 A song/ rap
 Pictures/ diagrams/ comics
 Story
 Paragraph explaining the levels of organization
 PowerPoint

6.  Give a brief description of each level of organization
starting with the smallest and moving to the largest.

7.  Pretend you are a scientist on Mars. One day, your research
team discovers a Martian settlement with creatures you've never
seen. You examine them closely and see that they are made up
of cells, but not human cells. These creatures have cells with
structures very different from human cells even though the cells
function in similar ways.
 Imagine the kinds of structures the Martian cells might need in
order to live and survive. Create drawings of what you think the
Martian cell structures would look like. Be sure to label the
Martian organelles (differently from human cells) and describe
how each part of the Martian cell helps it to survive. See if you
can think of ways that several different cells might work
together to accomplish the same results as your human cells.
 Give your organism a scientific name.

8. Warm Up-
Look at your terrariums. Write down some observations you
see. What has changed? What has stayed the same?

9.  Students will be able to model and explain the levels of
organization within a multicellular organism.

10.  Share your homework with your group

11.  Create a way to show the levels of organization differently than
what we have done already. You are making your own way to
organize this information. You will share this with the class. It
will count as a project grade.
 Due on Wednesday 10/29.
 Cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, etc.
 You may create one of the following or a combination of
the following:
 A song/ rap
 Pictures/ diagrams/ comics
 Story
 Paragraph explaining the levels of organization
 PowerPoint
 Book
 Graphic Organizer

12. Warm Up-
Come up with an example for the levels of organization.
For example, muscle cells join together to make muscle tissie.
Muscle tissue is found in the stomach. The stomach is an
organ in the digestive system.

13.  Students will be able to present and explain the levels
of organization within a multicellular organism

14.  Make sure you have the following in your Student Led
Conference folder:
 Pink behavior sheet
 Green Self Reflection
 Terrariums Lab
 White Assignment Reflection for Terrariums Lab
 Plant Cell vs. Animal Cell Poster
 White Assignment Reflection for Plant vs. Animal Cell
Poster
 Plant Cell, Animal Cell, and Photosynthesis Quiz

15.  Share with the class– if you are not going to be here
tomorrow, you need to share today!
 Project= 25 points
 Presentation= 10 points

16. Warm Up-
Clear your desks for project presentations.
Get your project out if you have not presented yet.

17.  Students will be able to present and explain the levels
of organization within a multicellular organism

18.  Share with the class
 Project= 25 points
 Presentation= 10 points

19. Warm Up-
If you had to be one level of organization, which would you
be and why?

20.  Students will be able to present and explain the levels
of organization within a multicellular organism

21.  Share with the class
 Project= 25 points
 Presentation= 10 points

22.  Grab your terrarium
 Check it out
 What has changed?
 What would you do if you could modify your
terrarium?
