Class: 3, 6

Lesson: Organisation grale du corps humain

Rationale: Exercise to show the relationship between cells, tissues, organs, systems and organisms.

Materials:

6 students
The following signs:
un graine de sable
une brique
un mur
un bment
un lycBR>une cellule
un tissu
un syst
un organe
un organisme

Procedure:

1. Choose five students and give each, one of the following signs:

un graine de sable
une brique
un mur
un bment
un lyc

2. Choose another student to arrange the five students in order of increasing complexity.

3. Repeat the exercise with the following signs:

une cellule
un tissu
un organe
un syst
un organisme

4. Ask students to give examples of a tissu, syst, and organisme and have them write the example on the signs.
