 In this game, I want you to know
more about yourselves. I will give
you a category and you will
arrange yourselves according to
the category given.

 Write the scores at the top right

of the activity sheet and return
the paper to the owner.
 So, who got the perfect score?
 Okay so now let us discuss the
different levels of Biological
organization. From your activity
you learned that there are nine
levels of biological organization.

 You have also learned from your
junior high school years that cell
is the basic unit of life. It means
that life is composed of cells.
Without cells, life will not be
possible. Your body is made up
of cells which means that we are
living things. This is also a
manifestation that living
organisms are made up of
organs. These organs are made
of cells. Living things include
both animals and plants.
 Living and nonliving things are
different yet are mutually
dependent on each other. They
are classified in a hierarchical
and orderly manner according to
their level of complexity. And we
call this as biological
organization.
 Take a look at this pyramid. This
pyramid shows the different
levels of biological organization
from simple to complex.

membrane- bound organelles.
Examples are plant cell and

 Second to the order is the tissue.
They are same type of cells and
are grouped together to perform
a specific function.
 Blood, bone, tendon, ligament,

examples of connective tissues.
And connective tissue can also
be classified into three types:
fibrous connective tissue,
skeletal connective tissue, and
fluid connective tissue.

 Fifth, is the organisms. The
definition of an organism is a
creature such as a plant, animal
or a single-celled life form, or
something that has
interdependent parts and that is
being compared to a living
creature. An example of an
organism is a dog, person or
bacteria.
 Organisms are also classified as
abiotic and biotic factors. The
non-living and living things.
Living organisms are divided into
five kingdoms namely: plant,
animal, fungi, bacteria and

 Next to organisms is your
population. Population is a group
of the same organisms all living
together in the same area or
place. For example, a pride of
lions.
 Nest is community. Community

o Directions: The COVID-19 virus
have greatly affected the
world. It took many lives and
destroyed a lot of dreams. In
your one whole-sheet of paper,
make a similar table below and
describe how a certain disease,
like COVID-19 can affect the
different levels of biological
organization. You may provide
a picture if available.
