Homeostasis Notes
Page
Today we are going to learn about homeostasis,
which is very important to your body. Without
homeostasis you would die very quickly. There
are many examples of homeostasis that our
bodies have and use all the time. All living
things have homeostasis.
• Write everything in red and everything else
your teacher asks you to copy down.
• What did the prefix “homo” mean?
• What other words have we learned this year that
have the prefix homo in them?
• What do you think “stasis” means? What does it
sound like?
• Remember, that an organism means a living
thing.
• Homeostasis is when an organism’s body tries
to keep itself stable on the inside.
• Homeostasis means your body is trying to stay
the same no matter what is happening around
you.
• Draw a picture to help you remember the
definition of homeostasis.
• What is homeostasis?
• Can anyone think of an example of
homeostasis?
• Your body always wants to have homeostasis
because without it you would die..
• Give an example of homeostasis.
• Can anyone explain a way you would die if you
didn’t have homeostasis?
• Homeostasis examples:
– Sweating to cool off
– Shivering and getting goose
bumps to warm up
– Feeling hungry or thirsty
– Breathing hard after exercise
– Releasing hormones (chemicals) like adrenaline
Glossary Time!
• Add the word “homeostasis” and the PAGE
NUMBER to your glossary.

Exit Slip
• Clear everything off of your table. Close lab
books and put them on the floor.
• NO TALKING, at all. If you have a question raise
your hand SILENTLY and wait for the teacher.
• When you’re done, flip your exit slip over and
draw a picture of a person who is cooling off
through homeostasis.
Question 1
1. What is the best definition of homeostasis?
a) Homeostasis is how your body cools off when it’s
hot.
b) Homeostasis is how your body is the same all the
time.
c) Homeostasis is how your body keeps itself the
same even when things outside the body change.
d) Homeostasis is how your body constantly
changes.
Question 2
2. Identify the example of homeostasis.
a) A person’s stomach contracts to digest
food mechanically.
b) A mouse gathers food to store for
winter.
c) A turtle pulls its head and legs into its
shell to protect itself from a predator.
d) A dog pants to cool itself when it is too
hot.
Question 3
3. Give one example of homeostasis in humans.
Question 4
4. Explain what would happen if your body did
not sweat when it was too hot.
• Make sure you get your
homework when you leave. It is
due next class period.

Today’s Plan
• Homeostasis activities to help us understand
how our body reacts to changes and to
practice graphing
• Take notes on how our bodies are organized
• Work on Body Organization Analogies to help
us understand what we learned
• Exit Slip on Body Organization
Homeostasis Activities
What is homeostasis again?
What are some examples of homeostasis?
Now on to the activities!
Body Organization
• We are going to learn about how your body is
organized. Your body is made of several
different things, all of which have an
important role in keeping you alive and
healthy. It is important to know how your
body works so you can stay healthy and
understand the impact of your choices on
your body.
Body Organization Notes
• Fill in your notes sheet as we go through the
notes together. Be prepared to answer
questions about the notes.
Cells
•
•
•
•
What is a cell?
What kinds of things have cells?
How big are cells?
What do all cells have in common?
Tissue
•
•
•
•
•
What is tissue made of?
What is the purpose of epithelial tissue?
Where can we find epithelial tissue?
What is the job of nervous tissue?
Where can we find nervous tissue?
Tissue continued
• What can the cells in muscle tissue do?
• What all does connective tissue do?
• What would happen to your organs if they did
not have connective tissue?
What are all of these things in the
picture below?
They are all
ORGANS! 
Circle the
organs you
have heard
of before.
Organs
• How many types of tissues does it take to
make an organ?
• Why does an organ need to be made of more
than one type of tissue?
• What do organs make when they work
together?
• What are some organ systems you can think
of?
• At the bottom of your page, write a note to
yourself to explain how the body is organized.
Be sure to use the words cell, tissue, organ,
and organ system.

Glossary Time!
• Add these words and their page numbers to
your glossary. Remember: Labeling your
glossary correctly is part of your lab book
grade.
– Cell
– Tissue
– Organ
– Organ system
Body Organization Analogies
• We’ll complete the first side together. Then
we will complete an analogy example.
Body Organization Analogy
• The parts of the body are arranged from
smallest to largest.
Cell
Tissue
Organ
Organ System
Body
Body Organization Analogy
• To complete each analogy you’ll have to think
about what is the smallest part of the words
listed. That part represents the cell. Then
think about what is just a little bigger than
that part. That part represents the tissue.
And so on…

Today’s Plan
• Book reading to reinforce what we’ve learned
so far this week
• Create posters to put together what we’ve
learned in a more creative way
Book Reading
• Read pages 220-223 in the text book and then
answer the questions on the worksheet.
Body Organization Posters
• Use your notes, your book, your knowledge, and
your answers to the reading to complete your
poster.
• The goal of your poster is to show information about
cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems in a creative
way and in your own words.
• Your poster needs to have the following:
–
–
–
–
–
Info about cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems
An explanation about how the body is arranged
At least 4 images (diagrams or drawings)
Why this is important to know
It needs to be neat, colorful, informative, and in your own
words
