Diabetic Emergency!

10/9/2013

0 Comments

 
Throughout this inquiry project, students made a connection between high, normal and low blood glucose levels and what is happening on a cellular level in a person's body.  We used three diabetic emergency scenarios and linked them to the behavior of three different serums in class.  Each of the serums represented high, low and normal blood glucose and we used dialysis tubing to represent the cells.  Some of the "cells" gained mass while others lost mass.  This allowed students to make a connection between the level of glucose in the blood and the symptoms diabetics experience.
