- Spend 90 seconds writing down as many questions as you can think of about the phenomena in #1. (Actually set a timer!)
- Spend 15-20 minutes investigating, observing, and researching, as much as you can about the phenomena from #1.
Learn & Explain: Use the content below to learn some key information. Take notes as you learn:
- Use these Google Slides about the Urinary System to take notes while using the I can statements from above as a guide.
- Watch this video: How do your Kidney’s Work? Don’t forget to take notes about how your kidney’s function.
- Improve your Urinary System vocabulary by completing this word search. Click here to check your answers for numbers one through twenty.
- Try this self-study and guided kidney simulation. Use the drop down menu on the top right to help you start and restart a section. In the intro review the function(s) of each part. In the nephron section make sure to notice the pathway of each of the five substances, and where they end up. In the capsule section why do you think protein is not filtered out of the blood? In the proximal section notice which substance does not get transported back into the blood. In the loop of henle section observe how water is conserved. In the last section the collecting duct which two substances should be absent from urine? Be curious and research what diseases might be present if these two substances are found in your urine.
- Read this article: How artificial kidneys and miniaturized dialysis can save millions of lives. Cost and water usage are major concerns with dialysis. How are scientists trying to overcome these obstacles? How would you make sure that dialysis was available for everyone in need around the world? What are your ideas to engineer a dialysis machine?
Elaborate: Use the resources below to go deeper and apply the learning to new levels.
- How High Blood Pressure can Lead to Kidney Damage or Failure After reading this article, discuss with another individual how you plan to keep your blood pressure in check, and why this is important for kidney health.
- Diabetes - A Major Risk for Kidney Disease After reading make a connection between how the cardiovascular system and nervous system are involved with kidney disease. The article does not go into very much detail on how to prevent diabetes. Perform some research about diabetes prevention.
Do & Connect:
- Watch this video before you start the experiment. Using household items design and build an artificial kidney to model how the kidney(s) work as a filtration system to maintain homeostasis. Here is a list of items to help you get started: coffee filters, cheesecloth, food coloring, straws, water, glass jar(s), strainer, sand, chalk, beads, aquarium rocks etc.
