This PowerPoint explores the levels of biological organization. It begins with a built-in visual quiz that has student guess the name of 10 common organs in the human body. An animation and real image of the organ are provided. Answers are revealed at the end. The question is previewed before the answer is revealed so the teacher can call upon students. Anatomy is addressed with visual. The concept of Form Follows Function is addressed and a step by step process breaks down all of the functions of the modern toothbrush. An activity has the students look for an object to describe how the form follows its function. This can also be a homework assignment. Physiology is described and some history associated with anatomy and physiology explained with visuals. An activity has the students go around the room and name a body part. Last one standing wins. Levels of Biological Organization are then described one step at a time. Students conduct a step by step drawing in their journal / notebook. The drawing takes students from the atom all the way to President Jimmy Carter. Each step includes a visual that points to the where that step is. Example - the level of tissue points to just a small part of the heart. After another quick review from President Carter with visuals a lab activity is introduced. Students create wet mount slides of cheek and onion cells. Instructions, visuals, and questions and answers are provided. Students are then challenged in a series of questions about plant and animal cells. Various cells of the body are addressed, as are tissues with step by step visuals. A small activity with ice cubes and nerve cells is included. A video link about human organ trafficking is provided. Another video link about specialized cells is provided. A visual group quiz is then presented that has the students guess some organs in the human body. Organs Systems are described. A quiz 1-10 then has the students describe if the pictures are a cell, tissue, organ, organ system, or individual organisms. The questions are presented before the answer is revealed so the teacher can call upon students. Homeostasis is then described in a series of slides with thermal images and connection to Halloween and blood sugar. An activity then has the student find their resting pulse and temperature. Students then do jumping jacks at desk or run in place. Students then take their pulse again. A spreadsheet, questions, answers, and much about the activity are provided. A series of hidden box games conclude this PowerPoint. Each slide removes shapes that are hiding a picture that is relevant to the unit. Students try and guess the picture beneath as each slide reveals more of the mystery.
