This lesson plan is about biological organization and will have students work collaboratively in groups of four to research and create cubed models demonstrating important facts about one of the levels of biological organization. Students will use websites like easel.ly and superteachertools.net to guide their research and presentations. The lesson incorporates both hands-on and collaborative learning approaches.

2. LESSON PLANNING TOPIC
The topic for this lesson planning presentation will be biological
organization.
Multicellular organisms have 5 levels of complexity that all start with
the simple cell.

3. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Students will describe the big idea of the one of the biological
organization using a textbook and create a model in groups of four.
Students will support the significance of the one of the biological
organization using a website and create a model in groups of four.

4. LEARNING MODEL:
This project is going to be both a collaborative and a hands on
activity.
This project will focus more on the learning model of collaborative
education part though.

5. METHODS:
Students will create a cubed model demonstrating important facts
and information on their level of organization that they were given
which could be (cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism,
population,community,ecosystem, biosphere).

6. TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
http://www.easel.ly/
I would start class out with an infographic that I created on easel.ly. I
would put little info on this but put good enough pictures for the
students to understand what they are learning about in each level of
organization. The students are to research most of the information
on their own after a guided introduction into the project.
https://www.superteachertools.net/#
I would use this website to generate students into groups and also to
put up a countdown so that the students can see how long they have
to present.

7. CONCLUSION
Reflection on all my choices for this lesson planning project.
