Levels of Organization- Card Sort

I use this activity as to check for understanding of the levels of organization. I laminate and separate the cards into 2 bags: terms and definitions. Students first organize the terms into the proper order from simplest to most complex. They then match each definition to the correct term. This is a quick, easy and effective activity that can be used as a pre-assessment of prior knowledge or as formative assessment. This could also be used a resource of the matched term with its definition i
