 What I Can Do

Activity 3: Sequencing: The Foldable Levels of Biological Organization

Pyramid

Directions: Make a Foldable Pyramid on the Levels of Biological Organization. You will
be guided with the procedure below.

1. Cut along the dotted line to make a foldable pyramid.

2. Tape the pyramid together by following the instructions.
3. Paste the levels of biological organization on one side with the smallest at the top.
4. On the next side, you paste the description for the corresponding level.
5. On the last side, you will paste examples of the levels.
