Lesson Plan in Grade 7 BIOLOGY

I. Learning Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:
1. Enumerate the different levels of biological organization.
2. Describe the different levels of biological organization from cell to biosphere.
3. Arrange the levels of biological organization from the simplest to the most
complex.

B. Science Concepts
1. Biological organization refers to the system of classification of the levels of
living things arranged in hierarchical order.
2. Each level of biological organization has a specific description and function.
Every level is interdependent with another level.
3. The different levels of biological organization are as follows: cell, tissue,
organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem, and
biosphere.
C. Values Integration
 Proper behavior, attentive listening, teamwork, cooperation,
cleanliness and following the correct procedure
D. Teaching Aids
 Multimedia projector, laptop, visual aids, and activity materials.

III. Teaching Strategies

Teachers Activity Students Activity

A. Daily Routine
1. Opening prayer
2. Checking of attendance
3. LRCP 10 minutes

B. Review
 In our last lesson, we have studied about the
microscope. The microscope is a tool that can help you
see tiny objects and living organisms. Let us see how far
you’ve learned about the parts of the microscope.

C. Motivation
 Draw lots ( number) The students will form into two
 GAME TIME groups to give their answers to
FLIP TILES the given activity.
. Yes maam!

C. Introduction
 Take a look around you. Life is found almost
everywhere on Earth. The vast diversity of
organisms present is indeed fascinating.. But
did you ever wonder how each life form is in
any way interconnected?
 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. This
order is called biological organization.
 To further understand the complexity of life, let
us first perform an activity.

D. Activity
1. Presentation
a. Introduce the title of the activityto
the students – “Levels of The students will read the objectives.
Biological Organization”
b. Let the students read the objectives.

c. Distribute the activity sheets and

materials to the student.
The students will read the procedure
d. Let the students read the procedure in in performing the activity.

e. Give the students enough time to The students performing the activity.
perform the activity.

f. After they have finished their activity, Volunteers from each group will
call volunteers from each group to discuss their works to their
match and discuss their works. classmate.
E. Discussion
 The term biological organization refers to the system of
classification that arranges the levels of life in an
hierarchical order. In this system, each level is more
complex than the level that precedes it. However, the
different levels are interdependent on each
other. If any one of these components is not present, the
order of life is greatly affected.
 The different levels of biological organization are as
follows: cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism,
population, community, ecosystem, and
biosphere.
 The cell is the smallest unit of the biological
organization, with all living things having this basic
functional structure.
 A tissue is a group of distinct and similar cells that
work together to perform a specific set of functions.
 An organ is made up of two or more types of tissues
that are grouped together to perform a specific task.
 An organ system is made up of two or more organs that
work together as a single unit to perform a broad set of
functions.
 An organism is an aggregation of the organ systems
that work together to bring about various life activities.
 A population is made up of a group of organisms of the
same species that are capable of interbreeding and that
live in a specific area.
 A community is made up of all the different populations
of different species that interact and coexist in a specific
area.
 An ecosystem is consisting of all the community of
organisms (biotic community) that inhabit the same
area, as well as t h e nonliving ( abiotic components)
of the area and the sets of interaction that exist between
these two components.
 And lastly, the biosphere consists of the totality of the
ecosystems of planet Earth. It also pertains to any part of
Earth’s sphere where life exist.

F. Generalization
1. What are the different levels of biological organization?

2. Who can describe each level?

3. Who can arrange the different levels of biological

organization starting from the most simple to the most
complex?

G. Application
What is the importance of biological levels of
organization? Explain your answer.
 Cell, tissue, organ, organ system,
organism,
population, community, ecosystem,
and biosphere.

The students will give their answers.

The students will go to the board and

arrange the levels of biological
organization from the simplest to the
most complex using the materials
given by the teacher.

The students will give their answers.

V. ASSIGNMENT

 Your school and the government are both organizations. Relate what you have learned
about levels of organization to your school’s organizational setup. Present your output in
class.
