ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What are the major biological macromolecules?
RELEVANCE: What do we use macromolecules for?
NGSSS: SC.912.L.18.1; MAFS.912.N-Q.1.1; LAFS.910.SL.1.1
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Students will be able to:
-Describe the four basic macromolecules by structure.
-Describe the four basic macromolecules by function.
BELL RINGER - Identify the molecules.
VOCABULARY: carbohydrate, protein, nucleic, acid, lipid,
HOME LEARNING: HL 9, study for exam
AGENDA
WHOLE GROUP
Students identified the four biological macromolecules as their bell ringer. You can find the handouts below. They are to be placed in your notebook. Note that we are beginning a new essential question and benchmark. Be sure to record this along with the date in your table of contents. Also, begin a new Cornell notes page, including the date and essential question. You can place the two color sheets of macromolecules in the center section. Place the double sided bell ringer (use tape) on the next page.
Read and identify the four macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins.
Place these in your interactive notebook.
Students received HL 9, which can be found below. Be sure to write your answers on a separate sheet to submit next class.
This is HL 9. Be sure to make a copy to submit for a grade.
Those classes that needed to complete the food web paper lab did so and submitted for a grade.
We viewed a BrainPop movie on Body Chemistry to further introduce the topic of macromolecules. You can watch the video by going to BrainPop Body Chemistry. The username and password is palmbeach.
We also watched a more detailed video on the four macromolecules. You can watch it below.
This is the video The Biomolecule Band. Watch to learn about the four basic biomolecules and their functions.
Students then completed a Gallery Walk to take notes on the biomolecules. You can find the information below.
Use this page to record information about the macromolecules. Be sure to include the name of the large molecules, the functions of these molecules, and how you can identify the molecules (their structure).
Use the information on these placards to make your notes as you complete the Gallery Walk.
