Presentation Transcript
Essential Question: How do organisms maintain homeostasis? Print the scenario cards with the roles on the following pages. Cut apart. Print a chart (last slide) for each student. Interactive Instruction (15 min) -Explain vital signs (see if can get a stethoscope and blood pressure cuff for students to practice with) and normal ranges for each. *Ask someone from clinic to come in! -Pulse / Blood Pressure / Temperature /Breathing Rate -Triage: priority for treatment Authentic Engagement (25 min) -Class must triage patients, including those from the story. -Give scenario cards for each patient. They will explain their symptoms and vitals. Then rest of class will decide priorities. -Must give the patient a number for order of treatment -What body systems are affected -What can be done to restore homeostasis -Go over which patients survived and which did not. Notes: Nelson will die no matter what. Monique will only survive if she is seen first.
