This lesson narrative is intended to assist educators in teaching the central concept of homeostasis to entry-level Biology students and includes a kinesthetic game where students will actively engage in learning about the mechanisms that maintain blood glucose levels in humans.
Homeostasis, negative feedback, stimulus, receptor, integrating center, effector/target organ, hormone, insulin, glucagon, pancreas, glucose, glycogen
“What does the word “feedback” mean? With what do yo u associate this term?” The teacher will guide a brief discussion on what feedback is. An example would be students receiving progress reports. We will discuss the purpose of progress reports; for students to gauge their performance in there classes. Students will be asked, “What would you c...
(Materials for this part of the lesson courtesy of Susan Mickey, Salem High School, Salem, MA) Students are given a worksheet with the terms stimulus, receptor, integrating center, effector, and response. They will define these terms based on the analogy of a home heating system. After reading about how a home heating system works, they will iden...
For homework, students will be instructed to identify the organ systems that are involved in each of the homeostatic processes that were explored in class. For upper level classes, students will be asked to investigate the homeostatic process that governs blood sugar regulation. This can be done in their text book or an outside resource, such a...
Students will use information gained in the prior lesson in order to understand how the human body regulates blood sugar levels. The teacher will conduct a brief overview of what was learned in the prior lesson. Students will then be asked, “What happens in our bodies after we eat? What type of nutrients/molecules are in those foods?” A list wil...
The teacher will briefly explain that our cells need a consistent and readily available supply of glucose in order to produce ATP and therefore maintain vital functions. The teacher will show a flow chart of the blood sugar regulation feedback loop, connecting this to the diagrams they generated in the previous lesson. Students will be asked to i...
Have students return to their desks and write a brief description of the activity they just did. Make a list of their classmates, what role they played, and what task they had to perform.
What happens when there is too little glucose in the blood? The teacher would now explain how glucagon works in opposition to insulin, in order to maintain normal blood sugar levels.

HOMEOSTASIS Student Worksheet 1 Thermoregulation Our body functions most efficiently at 37°C. The blood temperature is monitored by the brain and if it varies from 37°C, various changes are brought about. The means by which our body maintains a constant temperature is called thermoregulation. Use the words below to complete the missing gaps on
