Warm-Up:
Vocab Escape Room Race Starting Line
To Do List:
Navigation- 5 min
Review ideas and related questions from the previous lesson for what might be happening to the food molecules that go missing in the small intestine.
Plan the Dialysis Tube representation of the Small Intestine Investigation- 10 min
Introduce the materials that students can use to investigate this lesson’s question. Ask students to work in groups to draw their representations in their science notebooks.
Evaluate the Limitations of Our Dialysis Tube Model System- 5 min
Students examine the qualities of their models as a representation of the small intestine and discuss limitations.
Conduct the Dialysis Tube System System Investigation- 15 min
Dialysis Tube investigation Instructions Day 1
Students complete Part 1 of the investigation in small groups by setting up the dialysis tube system with starch and glucose liquid inside of the dialysis tube.
Make a Prediction About Dialysis Tube Results- 5 min Dialysis Tube Investigation
Have students record a prediction of what kind of molecules they will find on the inside and outside of the dialysis tubing when they sample their lab systems in Parts 4 and 5 of their Dialysis Tube Investigation.
