Does your patient have kidney disease?

You suspect that your patient may have kidney disease.

  • Analyze simulated urine samples to determine if your patient’s symptoms might be caused by kidney disease.
  • Create a model to learn about normal kidney function.
  • Propose an explanation for the patient’s urine test results.

Performance Expectations:

HS-LS1-2. Develop and use a model to illustrate the hierarchical organization of interacting systems that provide specific functions within multicellular organisms.

  • Science & Engineering Practices

    Developing and Using Models - Develop, revise, and/or use a model based on evidence to illustrate and/or predict the relationships between systems or between components of a system

  • Disciplinary Core Ideas

    LS1.A: Structure and Function - Multicellular organisms have a hierarchical structural organization, in which any one system is made up of numerous parts and is itself a component of the next level.

  • Crosscutting Concepts

    Systems and System Models - models (e.g., physical, mathematical, computer models) can be used to simulate the flow of energy, matter, and interactions within and between systems at different scales.
