Question
name
the organization of the human body
objective: comprehend levels of organization of the human body by reading informational text, summarizing and making analogies.
part 1: reading - read below with your team, switching who is the reader and who is the summarizer each paragraph. the cloud should contain the main idea of each paragraph.
imagine you’re at lunch. your nose smells pizza. your legs move over to where hot lunch is being served. you have to balance the food and your milk in your hands, look around for a free seat, and then sit down. this may seem simple, many different parts of your body have to work together to make all of that happen. to make sure your body can work correctly, even when it does many things at once, your body must be carefully organized.
the smallest unit of our organization, our smallest part, is the cell. the cell is the building block of all living things, but you probably remembered that! each human body is made up of over 100 trillion cells that have different structures and different functions. we have blood cells that carry oxygen to our muscles, and nerve cells that carry electrical impulses from our brains to the rest of our bodies. if the whole body is like a city, a cell is just one simple brick.
the next largest unit of organization in your body is a tissue. no, that’s not the same thing as what you blow your nose with. a tissue is a group of similar cells working together. if the whole body is a city, and a cell is just one brick, a tissue is one step bigger – a house.
there are four main types of tissues. muscle tissue (which makes up muscles) can shorten to make your body move. nervous tissue carries electrical signals between the brain and the body to control the body. connective tissue, such as bone, blood and fat, connects the various parts of the body. and epithelial tissue, such as skin, covers the surfaces of your body.
the next largest unit of organization in your body is an organ. you’ve probably heard of organs before. your heart, stomach, brain and lungs are all organs. organs form when different types of tissue come together to perform a specific job for the body. if a cell is a brick, and tissue is a house, an organ is like a city block.
an organ’s job is more complicated than a tiss
Since the problem is about summarizing the main idea of each paragraph related to the organization of the human body (a biological concept), we'll use the Answer - Explanation Format for each paragraph:
Paragraph 1 (First paragraph):
Describes a lunch - time scenario where multiple body parts work together, emphasizing the need for the body to be organized for proper functioning.
States that the cell is the smallest organizational unit of the body, explains that the human body has over 100 trillion cells with different structures and functions, and uses an analogy (body as city, cell as brick).
Defines tissue as the next - largest organizational unit (a group of similar cells working together), and uses an analogy (body = city, cell = brick, tissue = house).

Main idea: Body parts work together at lunch; body needs organization for correct function.
