Biology - Levels of Organization card sort

This is a student activity for learning levels of biological organization. Suitable for grades 6-12, MS or HS biology, IB or AP biology courses. Spreadsheet has four tabs:

1) answers tab for checking
2) all levels mixed together, this covers the entire span from subatomic particles to the whole biosphere.
3) smaller levels, this could be used if you are doing biochemistry etc and want to leave the ecology material for later.
4) larger levels only, this is organismal level and larger, basically ecology level concepts like community, population etc.

The tabs are optimized to print cleanly on one or two pages.

Recommended use: print out desired number of sheets, then have students individually or in groups cut out the scrambled cards. Then they can sort the cards correctly into threes: name/picture, description and example. If desired they can paste the correct sets onto a separate sheet of paper and these can then be marked.
