Student Case Study - The role of sodium in maintaining homeostasis
What educators are saying
Learning Objective
-Students will be able to explain the causes, symptoms, and treatment for hyponatremia. -Students will understand the function of vasopressin in the body.
Description
Death by water! Your high school students will love learning about hyponatremia- mine always do! Patient case studies make a great addition to a Biology or Anatomy course and the problem-based lessons provide a great example of real NGSS phenomena. This case study fits seamlessly with a unit on osmosis or cells.
Case studies are perfect for extending thinking on a topic or for use as sub plans. Answer keys are included.
Topics addressed: Hyponatremia, sodium concentration, intracranial pressure, electrolytes, tonicity of solutions, osmosis, vasopressin, methamphetamines
Three versions are included:
1. Guided Case Study- Students are presented with the symptoms and diagnosis, then led through the related information about the condition. Questions are presented as a reading comprehension-style assignment. This is a great choice for struggling students or as a quick supplement to your unit.
2. Research-based Case Study- Students are presented with the symptoms and diagnosis. Websites are provided for additional information in order to answer the related questions about the condition. This is a great choice for more advanced/independent students or if you have more available class time.
3. Digital Case Study- Students are provided the same links as the research-based study, but they are live websites for easy internet searching and questions are provided in a digital document or Google Form for easy grading. This is a great choice for 1:1 classrooms or independent learners that are familiar with Google Classroom.
