💡 Big idea: All body structures are built from four tissue types arranged into a hierarchy from cell to organism.
- 0-8Intro: four tissue types overview with real images
- 8-25Notes: epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous tissue locations and functions
- 25-45Build model card: five levels of organization with tissue examples
- 45-60Group review: does each level have a tissue example? fix gaps

- • Every organ in the body is made of the same four building materials: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue.
- • Today you are going to build a model that shows how those materials stack up into organs and then into systems.
- • This model is not decorative. You will reference it when we get to bone tissue next week and muscle tissue the week after.
- • By the end of class your model card should be complete enough that a friend could use it to study from.
- 1Read the notes on the four primary tissues: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.
- 2Match each tissue type to one example location in the body.
- 3Build a model card or poster ordering the levels: cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism.
- 4Add one tissue example to each level of your model where it applies.
- 5Submit a photo of your body-organization model with labels.
- • You can name the four tissue types and an example of each.
- • You can order the levels of structural organization correctly.
- • The four primary tissue types are epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous. Each has a distinct structure and function.
- • Levels of structural organization from smallest to largest: cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism.
- • Pathophysiology often begins at the tissue level; identifying which tissue is affected guides diagnosis and treatment.

Day 3 of this lesson. Open this exact section in myPLTW (reached through Schoology), then do the work below.
Do this: Complete the tissue-types task in Lesson 1.1 Beginning with Bones on myPLTW during the note-taking window; work through all required tissue-identification screens.
Mark the tissue-types task complete after submitting your body-organization model photo.
Cavity matching is done; today the tissue-types task should show complete and your model should be photographed.
myPLTW completion status plus labeled model photo.
All PLTW activities are completed inside the PLTW course environment — this page only gives direction. Submit producibles on Schoology.
Today's PLTW tracker
Check things off as you work, then submit. This tells Mr. Mendoza how you're doing so he can help the class. It does not replace turning in your producible on Schoology.

Cavity matching is done; today the tissue-types task should show complete and your model should be photographed.
This is how Mr. Mendoza sees the class keeping pace with PLTW. Be honest, it only helps if it is accurate.
