Learning Goals for this Lesson
Standards 7.L.1.3 Summarize the hierarchical
organization of multicellular organisms from cells to
tissues to organs to organ systems to organisms.
7.L.1.4 Summarize the general functions of the major
systems of the human body (digestion, respiration,
reproduction, circulation and excretion) and ways that
these systems interact with each other to sustain life.
Students Will Know – The hierarchy of multicellular
organisms.
Body systems:
Digestion
Respiration (lungs, oxygen, carbon dioxide)
Reproduction
Circulations (cardiovascular, blood)
Excretion (uninary system and intestinal tract)
Immune/Lymphatic
Urinary
Endocrine (hormones)
Nervous
Students Will Be Able To – Sequence the hierarchical
organization of multicellular organisms from cells to
tissues to organs to organ systems to organisms.
Explain – how each step increases in complexity.
Analyze - how each system adds to an organisms
ability to maintain homeostasis.
Summarize – the general function and organis of the
major sytems of the human body.
Identify – how the major systems interact with
eachother to sustain life. Ie.: respiration and digestion
Summarize – ways that the systems interact with each
other to sustain life
Lesson Essential Question: What is the hierarchical organization of multicellular organisms?
How do all the body systems work together to sustain life?
Activating Strategy: Count resting heartbeat 15 seconds, Jump up and down for 15 seconds, count heartbeats
for 15 seconds write it down. Beats per minute = # beats X 4 repeat with 30s and 1 minute of jumping.
Write what body systems you used during this exercise and how they were used.
Vocabulary – This week is word wall match.
Hierarchy, body, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, digestion, integumentary, respiration, reproduction,
circulation, urinary, nervous, immune/lymphatic, endocrine
Lesson Instruction
Learning Activity 1 Using the information gathered during the activating
strategy, write an explanation of what body systems were used during the
activity and how they were used. Create a graph comparing the pulse rate
based on time of students in class.
