  1. The Healthy Group (H) – Friday Feedback Session Team Leader: Jason Lopez Team Members: Manjula Bunyan, Raminder Dua, Winnie Koo, Stacy Woodson This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under grant No. EEC-0502174. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.

  2. Module Enhancements • Elementary School • Introducing the Food Pyramid (creation of 3-D Food Pyramid puzzle). • Digestive system to show release of digestive juices • Food habits of different countries (primary foods exported/imported).

  3. Module Enhancements • Middle School • Introducing different starch/protein products and using potassium iodide to determine the presence of starch. • Food and activity log/diary. • Introduction of acids and bases using red cabbage juice as an indicator for understanding pH. • Compare and contrast line graphs depicting the digestion of carbohydrates, glucose levels, and insulin production.

  4. Engineering Design • Middle School • Design or customize food labels for different foods containing carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. • Design a menu (nutritional planner) for peoples with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

  5. Engineering Design • Elementary School • Design a 3-D model of the human digestive system using common materials such as balloons, straws, modeling clay, food items, etc. • Food Pyramid Puzzle – students determine appropriate puzzle pieces according to the number of servings per food group.

  6. Scientific Inquiry • Students create a food menu for healthy people as well as people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus • Introduction of acids and bases using red cabbage juice as an indicator for understanding pH. • Questioning/interview people with or associated with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. • Research additional factors that affect digestion. • Urinalysis investigative laboratory exercise • Diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

  7. Ethics • Cure vs. management • Doctor/patient confidentiality • Disposal of chemicals • Public safety/awareness • Processing of medicines; storage of medical goods; price of medications (insulin) • Selling/using expired medications • Animal testing of medications in the laboratory setting

  8. Educational Module Modifications • Activity #1 – create a career-specific collage (pictures of different scientists/engineers as well as non-scientist/engineer pictures). • Activity #5 – pH lab modified for elementary school students – “Where are acids and bases found in our world?” • Activity #9 and #10 – Displaying data within the same graph for comparison. Overlap graphs on multiple overhead transparencies in order to view similarities and differences between blood glucose and insulin peaks.
