  1. Assisting Diabetic Subjects with Technology Grace Kim-Ateca Reilly Elementary School IIT Research Mentors:Dr. Ali CinarDr. Emmanuel Opara 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. Overview • Science/Technology • 7th grade departmentalized science Classroom • Approx. 8-10 lessons: 40 min. long each

  3. Goals/Objectives • Understand the physiology and basic management of type 1 diabetes through nutrition and insulin injection. • Understand the differences between what a technology is and what engineers do. • Apply inquiry process to solve an insulin/glucose interaction problem through the use of a computer simulation program. • Consider the ethical issues concerning voluntary participation of diabetes treatment program. • Recognize the efforts of engineers to meet the needs of society by designing technological instruments for a specific use.

  4. Goals/Objectives - Identify different food groups and how they are used by the body.

  5. Illinois learning standards: • 11A,f2,3,4,5 • Design and conduct science investigation • Collect and organize data accurately • Interprete and represent results of analysis to produce findings - Report the process and results of an investigation 11B,2 -formulate proposals for technological designs which model or test scientific principles -plan and construct technological design

  6. Illinois learning standards: • 12A, f1 -to examine the cellular unit • 13A, f3 -Analyze cases of scientific studies • 13B,f1 -apply scientific technologies

  7. Assumed pre-requisite knowledge -basic human anatomy -basic cell structure and functions -mechanical functionalities; ie. Buttons press down, levers are pulled or pushed, tubes allow fluids to flow through, etc. • read graphs • follow directions to operate a computer simulation • Draw a diagram

  8. Activities/lessons and supporting materials • Background Information on Diabetes • Human Digestive System Diagram • Activity • Identify what a technology is and what engineers do. • Activity • Glucosim project: simulate glucose/insulin interaction • Data/graph recording sheets • Trial No. 2 preset data

  9. Activities/lessons and supporting materials • Important Knowledge about Scientific Inquiry • Activity • Exploring automated systems • Activity - Design and automated glucose monitor with an insulin injector - Collection of pictures of insulin/glucose treatment devices • Activity - Identifying food groups and how they are used by the body

  10. Materials • Computers with internet access • Graph papers, charts • Rulers • Art supplies • Poster boards • Pencils, large erasers • Activity sheets • Overhead projectors • Transparencies

  11. Assessment • The concepts I plan to assess are: • - understanding glucose/insulin interactions in a healthy person and a type 1 diabetic subjects. • -understand the functions of pancreas and islet cells • -understand how food choices determine the amount of carbohydrate consumption • -identify the role of technology and engineering in the field of medicine (define technology and engineering) • -pre-test, post-test on above topics • -assessment worksheets • -designing a model of insulin injection instrument with a glucose monitor

  12. Module Development Plan • Week 2: develop proposal and get approval, research more on diabetes, understand how injection controls work • Week 3: complete lesson plan materials, collect information to present for background (powerpoint, literature), present progress report • Week 4: complete assessment materials, present progress report

  13. Module Development Plan • Week 5: complete module, gather materials for final design project • Week 6: practice presentation • Week 7: present modules at the RET workshop
