Objective: Can we see anything inside M'Kenna that looks different?

Standards:

MS-PS1-1:

Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures.

MS-PS1-2:

Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred.

MS-LS1-3:

Use argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells.

MS-LS1-7:

Develop a model to describe how food is rearranged through chemical reactions forming new molecules that support growth and/or release energy as this matter moves through an organism.

MS-LS1-5:

Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of organisms

5. Navigation

Focus on the question- "What happens to food in the small intestine?"

6. Interpret Graphs of Food in the Small Intestine

Students examine data showing what happens when food passes through the digestive system of a healthy person as compared to that of M’Kenna’s. They realize that some food isn’t leaving M’Kenna’s small intestine. 

7. Add to the Progress Tracker

Update the two-column Progress Tracker with students to summarize what they have figured out in this lesson.

8. Initial Ideas and next Steps

Students share initial ideas about what is happening to the molecules that seem to be disappearing in the small intestine and how they might go about investigating them.
