Metabolism: Lesson 2.4

Activity 2 - Screen 1

In the Sim, you’ll observe both a healthy body and a body with the condition you’ve been learning about.

You will gather data about the molecules delivered to the cells in a healthy body and compare that to what happens in a body with a medical condition.

Key Concept

Activity 2 - Screen 4

Metabolism: Lesson 2.4

A problem with a body system can result in fewer oxygen, glucose, and/or amino acid molecules getting to the body’s cells.

Activity 3

Metabolism: Lesson 2.4

Create Sentences�Use one or more of the words provided on the board to create a sentence that answers each question.

Discuss Ideas�Talk about different ideas for sentences. Do not write anything down until both students agree.

Answer the Questions�Once you agree on the sentences, record your answers to the questions for your conditions.

Use All the Words�Every word must be used at least once.
