Organization of living things

How is a living thing organized?

If we have a look around ourselves maybe you are not able to identify concrete cells. This is because cells are not visible with our naked eyes we need to use microscopes for that. Also cells are organized on a complex system so you can see the final body. There are different levels of organization in living things:

  • Level 1: Cells
  • Level 2: Tissues
  • Level 3: Organs
  • Level 4: Systems
  • Level 5: Body

Thinking about my learning

It is time to reflect about your learning today. Remind that everyday at the end of each lesson you will write on your Learning Diary asking the following questions:

  • Date
  • What have I done?
  • What problems did I have? How did I solve these problems?
  • What have I learn?
  • How can I improve my learning for the next lesson?
  • Do I want to learn a bit more about something?

Your teacher will check it and give to you some feedback to help your improvements.
