Day 1 Exploring stem cells Standard HS-LS4-1: Communicate scientific information that common ancestry and biological evolution are supported by multiple lines of empirical evidence Objectives Define stem cells Differentiate between embryonic, adult, and induced pluripotent stem cells. Investigate the medical uses of stem cells by searching online. Starter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8zIHk9KKqI Discussion after watching video: Think- pair-share: 1. How many members appeared in the video? 2. What types of special jobs you observed? 3. Are all jobs similar? 4. What was the objective (goal) of the emergency team? Follow up question How is the emergency team related to the organization of humans (multicellular organisms)? Specialized cells Likewise, ,multicellular organisms are made of cells, but different cells in the organism have different functions. Example Application-think-pair-share In pairs, write 2 types of cells in the human body and explain their function.  Humans, like almost all multicellular organisms, are collection of specialized cells that work together. But let us think before having specialized cells, from where did these cells arise? Stem cells  A stem cell is an undifferentiated cell of an organism that is capable of dividing an unlimited number of times What are stem cells? Stem cells can give rise to other cell types through the process of differentiation The master cells What are stem cells? Stem cells are undifferentiated types of cells in our bodies that have a remarkable ability to develop into different types of cells with specific functions. They play an important role in development, repair, and growth.  Types of stem cells Embryonic stem cells Adult stem cells Induced- pluripotent stem cells  Group work-Medical uses of stem cells Instructions: Research Topics: Each group will be assigned one of the following types of 1. The class will be divided into groups stem cells 2. Each group should have the following Types of Stem Cells: Embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). roles: Include the definition of each type Researcher (Responsible for gathering Stem Cell Applications: Medicine, research, and industry. information and conducting online research. Reporter (Responsible for organizing and presenting the group's findings) Recorder (Responsible for taking notes and Homework summarizing key points. Future of Stem Cell Research: Potential advancements and challenges. Facilitator ( group leader) Types of stem cells  Goup work-Medical uses of stem cells The class will be divided into groups Each group will search the medical application of the assigned type of stem cells. Embryonic stem cells adult stem cells Induced pluripotent stem cells Medical use regenerate or repair In stem cell transplants, induced pluripotent stem diseased tissue and stem cells replace cells cells are used to model a organs. damaged by wide range of diseases, chemotherapy or disease including Alzheimer's or serve as a way for the disease, heart diseases, donor's immune system kidney disease, muscle to fight some types of disorders, blood diseases, cancer and blood-related diabetes and other diseases, such as conditions impacting the leukemia, lymphoma, human body neuroblastoma and multiple myeloma. Mind map summary Stem cells
