MOLECULES
The periodic table is a list of the atoms we know, like oxygen or nitrogen or hydrogen.

Fun Fact:
A molecule is ANY 2 atoms…like O2 or H2O.
A compound is 2 different atoms…like H2O.
Therefore —–> All compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds.
Mind Blown…Right! I know;)

CELLS
Cells are made of various molecules and compounds. They go on to form tissue.

CELLS are the BUILDING BLOCKS of all LIFE in the universe.
Cells vs Atoms Quiz…Both are Building Blocks?
Read each red block and compare what atoms build to what cells build.
Cell Types
TISSUE
Cells form tissues

ORGANS
Tissues form organs

ORGAN SYSTEMS
Organs form organ systems

Organisms
Organ systems form organisms.

All living things share 5 characteristics. Do you know them?

Population
Organisms make up populations. Like the population of humans or grizzly bear or clown fish or these impala and these zebra.

Communities
Populations come together to make communities. Like people in a city or these animals in Maasai Mara.

Ecosystems
All of the living communities PLUS all of the nonliving things, like ???????????? What do you think are nonliving things that affect ecosystems?

Biomes
Ecosystems make up biomes. Do you have a favorite biome? Maybe a forest? Or an ocean?

Biospheres
Biomes make up our “life ball” ? …otherwise known as our “biosphere.” Get it bio=life and sphere=ball. Oh man, I’m still chuckling about that one.
