Levels of Organization (Cells to Organism) Concept Map (50 pts.)
Assignment: Draw a concept map diagram that explains the levels of
organization of an organism as well as the four types of tissues.
The map should contain:
Nodes: include a minimum of 12 nodes (boxes, bubbles, etc.) for Phase 3, 10
nodes for Phase 2, or 8 nodes for Phase 1 (50% reduction=6 nodes)
Connectors: (arrows, lines, or other connecting indicators) These should show
the relationship between the nodes/boxes in the concept map.
Descriptors: (text explanations on connectors/nodes). These should explain the
connections between nodes or explain how the nodes are related.
Level of Life Organization: This concept map should explain all five levels of
organization: Cells, Tissues, Organs, Systems, and Organism using a graphic
organizer format, words, and pictures.
Types of Tissues: It should also show all four types of tissues and an
EXAMPLE of each:
