IN CLASS:

- Substitute takes attendance

- Take out your 2.1.1 Activity handout (the diabetes lab)

1. Sit with your lab team and have at least one person take out a smart phone or other Internet-enabled device;
2. Find the picture below of the white tray that looks like the experiment you performed on Friday
3. (3) Click on the image to open a larger version and then zoom in to see the different wells and the labels;
4. The labels with the units of "mg/dL" are for blood glucose concentrations, and the labels with the units of "pmol/L" are for insulin concentration.
5. Use the chart and your own test results to estimate the concentrations at the five different times (0 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, and 120 minutes) of the blood glucose of each patient and use these numbers to complete your data table in both your notebook and your activity handout.
6. Now do the same for the insulin test results (determine the concentrations by matching the colors of your results to the colors in the labeled photo below) and record these numbers in a second data table that you create in your lab notebook (modeled after the table you created for the glucose data).
7. Use your data to create two graphs in your lab notebook: a triple line graph showing the changes in blood glucose levels of the three patients, and a second triple line graph showing the insulin changes for the three patients over the 2 hour period they were monitored. Use a different color for each patient. HINT: when graphing, the independent variable goes on the X axis--the independent variable in this experiment was the time at which the blood samples were taken!

- Finish the rest of the 2.1.1 handout tasks and then answer the conclusion questions. 


HOMEWORK:

- Finish your lab graphs, final tasks described at the end of the 2.1.1 handout, and conclusion questions

PBS: Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead Response

Take some time to reflect on the movie Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead with the following questions in mind:

1. What was unhealthy about Joe's lifestyle before he started his juice fast?
2. How did the fasting affect Joe's physical appearance and medical conditions?
3. Could you stay on a juice fast as long as Joe did? What do you think would be the most difficult part? Why?
4. Why do you think Joe lost so much weight so rapidly? Do you think this was healthy to lose so much weight in such a short period of time? Why or why not?
5. Do you think most of the people he was encouraging to change their diets were able to do so permanently? Why do you think it is so difficult for many people to make changes to their eating habits? Try to come up with at least 3 reasons.

OK, now that you've given these questions some thought, write a response to the film in which you address the questions. Write up your response in a Google Doc file and place it in your "PBS" folder. Title it "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead Response."
