This four-day professional development session introduces teachers to the OpenSciEd materials generally in addition to the 7.3 Metabolic Reactions unit.

This unit on metabolic reactions in the human body starts out with students exploring a real case study of a middle-school girl named M'Kenna, who reported some alarming symptoms to her doctor.

This Metabolic Reactions unit has students investigating what happens to food after we eat, and how it affects the body.

Students discuss the role of polymers, monomers, and ATP in metabolism, and then describe the hormones that regulate anabolic and catabolic reactions.

Students describe what defines each of the three metabolic states of the human body: the absorptive state, the postabsorptive state, and starvation.

Detailed explanation of how food is broken down and metabolized in our bodies to be used for energy.

An article reviewing how energy flows in a cell including metabolic pathways.

Students understand the process of carbohydrate metabolism, and the chemical processes involved in this aspect of digestion.

Review the main concepts of metabolism and replication with this study guide.

How the human metabolism works and health problems that can develop are explained in clear language.

This is a straightforward project on glucose metabolism in yeast. You'll grow yeast under aerobic and anaerobic conditions and measure carbon dioxide output to assess metabolic efficiency.
