Z Human Body Organization: Cells, Tissues, Organs and Systems

The cells in the human body are not placed at random but rather they are organized in levels. In this class students will learn how the cells are organized in the human body. 
I will provide a guide with information and images about the levels of organization. Students should be able to follow the explanation with the guide and they are encouraged to take notes.
Students will complete a class activity to apply what they have learned in this class. This is an introductory class therefore previous knowledge is not necessary.

Week 1: Cells and Tissues
