Inspirational Quote of the Day: "Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science." - Edwin Powell Hubble 

Objective: What happens to the different substances in food as it travels through the digestive system? 

Lesson 6

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

1. ADD TO OUR PROGRESS TRACKERS Facilitate a Building Understandings Discussion to update Progress Trackers to represent the idea that chemical reactions occur in our mouths, which helps explain why some molecules in our foods decrease by the same amount that other molecules increase during digestion.

2.ANALYZE DATA TO DETERMINE IF CHEMICAL REACTIONS HAPPEN IN OTHER ORGANS  Support students as they analyze graphed data for following a graham cracker from the mouth to the large intestine in a healthy system. Focus students on identifying patterns in food molecules that increase and decrease as they travel through the digestive system.

3.LOOK FOR PATTERNS IN FOOD MOLECULES

Provide students with food molecule cards of complex carbohydrates, proteins, fats, glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids to use to look for patterns in their structures. Ask students to use these models to explain whether chemical reactions could be happening in other parts of the digestive system beyond the mouth.

4BUILDING UNDERSTANDINGS DISCUSSION TO MAKE SENSE OF PATTERNS IN THE DATA

Engage students in a Building Understandings Discussion to make sense of patterns in graphed data for following a graham cracker from the mouth to the large intestine in a healthy system. Focus students on the role that the specialized structures in the digestive system play in the breakdown of large food molecules.

5.NAVIGATION

Support students in summarizing what they’ve figured out during this lesson and connecting their ideas back to M’Kenna’s symptoms.
