HUMAN BODY LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION MOBILE PERFORMANCE PROJECT
50 points
Goal: Demonstrate your understanding of the four levels of organization in the human body.
Task: Create a mobile to represent each level of organization of the human body with a set of hand drawn figures,
hanging at its appropriate level beneath the level above it.
LEVEL 1: ORGAN SYSTEMS (3 systems represented in the human figure outline)
LEVEL 2: ORGANS: (3-5 organs suspended from their location in the system above.)
LEVEL 3: TISSUES (All 4 tissues suspended from ONE of the organs above.)
LEVEL 4: CELLS (Individual cells enlarged as they appear in each of the four tissues.)
Step 1: From the list below, select 3-5 organs. BE SURE that at least one of the organs you choose has a star.
Starred organs have all four tissue types.
Kidney
*Tongue
Brain *Skin Pancreas
*Eye ball
Lung
*Heart
Thyroid Gland
Gall Bladder Adrenaline Gland
*Stomach
Femur
*Gastrocnemius
(a leg muscle)
Step 2: Create Level 1 – In the human body outline, sketch in the main parts of the organ systems for 3 of the
organs you selected. The systems need not be totally complete but they should be accurate! The figure should be
mounted in a coat hanger.
Step 3: Create Level 2 – From each organ you chose in step 1, hang an enlarged picture of the
organ. Color your drawings and label each one with small letters.
Step 4: Create Level 3 – From an organ with a star in level 2, hang a horizontal bar
Titled “tissues”. From the bar suspend drawn figures representing the 4 tissue types
in the organ above.
Step 5: Create Level 4 – Draw an ENLARGED individual cell resembling those you
depicted for each of the four tissues and hang it from the matching tissue in the level above.
NOTE: Pick organs and systems you can handle. All figures used in the mobile should be hand drawn in color.
