3. Card Sort Activity
Using the laminated cards provided at each group table, sort the terms into one of the categories listed on the colored cards.
Discuss ideas with your group members…you must talk through each one!
Compile your group ideas on the organizer provided…

4. What is a System?
Think about the pen you may be holding. Does it have parts? Do they work together to do a job? Yes! A pen has the case, the tube that holds the ink, the ink, the ballpoint and it may even have an erasure if it contains erasable ink. If it clicks to open and close it will have a spring and a part to make the point go in and out. All of these parts work together so you can write with the pen. That makes it a system!
So, a system is a group of parts that work together to perform a function. What is a function? The parts of a pen work together so you can write with it. That is its function. A function is the job a system performs.

5. Examples of Systems
What are the names of each part in this system and what function do they perform?
What would happen if the keyboard or mouse stopped working?

6. Examples of Systems
What are the names of each part in this system and what function do they perform?
What would happen if the engine stopped working?

7. Ticket out the Door- “Shout” Out
Think of your own example of something abiotic (non-living) that works together as a system.
What are the parts included in this system and what are their functions?

10. Levels of Organization Notes Please write TITLE of each slide and the green notes in each box on organizer

11. ATOMS
Smallest part of matter
NON-living

12. Molecules
2 or more bonded atoms
Form compounds
NON-living

13. Macromolecule
Very large complex molecules (made of a bunch of smaller molecules that are the same) (monomers.)
All living things are made up of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
NON-living
The macromolecules are mainly made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen but in different ratios. This gives each compound different properties.

14. Ex: nucleus, mitochondria
Organelles
“Tiny organs”
Made of macromolecules
Non-living
Ex: nucleus, mitochondria

15. Ex: plant cell, skin cell…
Made of organelles
Basic unit of structure & function
LIVING
Ex: plant cell, skin cell…

16. Ex: muscle tissue, nerve tissue
The SIMILAR cells working together
Living
Ex: muscle tissue, nerve tissue

17. Organs
SIMILAR tissues that work together
Living
Ex: heart, stomach…

19. Organism Ex: human, dog Entire living things (organisms)
Usually made of systems
May be a single cell
Living
Ex: human, dog

20. Population
Same organisms living together
Ex: group of penguins

21. Ex: penguins, polar bears
Community
Several populations living together
Populations interact
Ex: penguins, polar bears

22. Ecosystem
A biotic (living) community and the abiotic (nonliving) features
