1. Lesson Plan: Cells in Biological SystemsA.Lesson Objective:a.Explain the cell as a system with interacting parts.b.Analyze how cellular processes contribute to the functioning of higher biological system.c.Apply systems thinking to explain feedback loops within and beyond the cell.B.Materials:Power Point PresentationGoogle MeetChartsPicturesC.Introduction to Systems ThinkingThe cell is often called as the basic unit of life, but it is more than just a collection of organelles. Cells in system is more of a package of process flow, cycle and production. It can be related to a city on how it is functional that has a system in place. The best example for this is the transport system, a vehicle is the way of people to connect to other destinations in which it travels on path or cycle. Also, it can deliver something to a destination. It is like a cell in biological system; there are processes and cycle.D.System Exploration/Activitya.Case Study/Real-world ExampleHow pancreas regulate blood glucose (insulin)?Identify the Internal and External Factors.b.System MappingActivity: Create a system Map of Cell showing the inputs, outputs, feedback loops in a cell like; showing the interconnections and flow of energy among Nucleus, Mitochondria, cell membrane, ribosomes and etc.c.Behavior Overtime GraphMini task: Create a graph for glucose intake and its risk
E.Analysis and Reflection:a.Guiding Questions:

2. 1.What components of the cell are most critical to maintaining balance?2.What external factors influence cell systems?3.How will a body of a diabetic insulin dependent would react if insulin no longer be available?b.Identifying Feedback Loops:What are the things to consider in a balancing the lifestyle of an individual with diabetes? Discuss the loops and feedback.F.Assessment/Evaluation:1.Explain how cells operate as a system.G.Reference not less than five (5) in APA style1.Alberts, B., Johnson, A., Lewis, J., Morgan, D., Raff, M., Roberts, K., & Walter, P.
