Comparing Cell Structures and OrganellesSupplemental Materials

1. Assessing Prior Knowledge: Students entering 9th grade Biology are expected to have a foundational knowledge for the structure and function of cell structures and organelles. The following activities are designed to help teachers assess how students have retained this foundational content learned in 7th grade life science. Students should be encouraged to refer to these materials throughout the remaining investigations for comparing cell structures and organelles.a. Cell Structures and Functions Magna Cell Worksheet b. Cell Structures and Functions Matching c. Cell Structures and Functions Bingo (Use statements from Cell Structures and Functions Matching

Sheet to call out definitions for Bingo terms)

2. Cell Case Studies: Cell Case Studies have been included in this kit to help make student learning relevant. Seven case studies are included as the elaborate portion of this ASIM Lab. Students will become doctors for a day. They will be given a case history and will use this information to make a diagnosis based on the understanding of how cell structures and organelles interact. The case study activity was designed by Rebeca Balkcom of Auburn Junior High School and presented at ASTA 2016. Session Title: “STEMing the Standards Through Case Studies.”

Case Study #1

Hello interns! Presented to you here is a “case study”; in this folder is a compilation of documents concerning a patient experiencing some symptoms. It is your job to use what you know and give the best diagnosis of the patient! These folders contain confidential information concerning the patient’s medical histories, so for their privacy – names were removed.

Patient’s History: Seven year-old male Experiencing fatigue for the past 2 weeks Muscle weakness at recess and P.E. Low endurance Loss of coordination Progressive difficult walking

Physical Examination: Difficulty breathing

o Patient is only receiving 60% of air needed


of 16

Awkward gait (the way the patient walked into the room) Muscle loss by 10% - most noticeable in quads & biceps

o Deformity of muscles

Laboratory Results Cells have abnormal shape Cell division is abnormal Impaired intracellular movement of materials

Diagnosis: (on a separate sheet of paper, answer the following questions)

1. Given his symptoms and current condition, what do you think is affecting his body? Is it a genetic, bacterial, or viral disease?

2. What is the malfunctioning organelle?

3. How would you help cure this patient? Would you prescribe medication or physical therapy?

Physical Examination: Enlarged calves Muscle loss by 10% - most noticeable in quads & biceps


of 16

o Deformity of muscles Waddling gait

Laboratory Results High levels of an enzyme released into blood when muscles are being destroyed
