Students will learn about the human levels of
biological organization starting from cells to tissues to organs to organ
systems. It will be explained that an organism has multiple organ systems that
branch off into even more organs, tissues, and cells. The experiments will
focus on the circulatory/cardiovascular system and will demonstrate how the
cells, tissues, and organs within the body work together and carry out specific
functions in order to pump blood throughout the body. Students will investigate
the components of blood, how the heart is a muscle responsible for blood flow and
practice measuring their pulse.
