Homework:
2.3 Carbon-Based Molecules Due Date: A-day 09/05/14, B-day 09/08/14
|
Key Vocabulary:
Biotic, abiotic, monomer, polymer, biomolecule, protein, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids. Content Objective(s): Students will be able to explain why biomolecules are important to all living things and describe the structure and function of biomolecules. Language Objective(s):Students will discuss the 4 types of biomolecules with a partner and then write new vocabulary based on visual representations of the structures, notes will be recorded in their interactive notebooks. Activity 09/03-09/04: Students will practice safe lab procedures as they experiment on four unknown solutions. Students will hypothesize (make predictions) as to what type of biomolecules are present on the solutions. Students will then use specific reagents that detect the presence of a specific biomolecule (protein, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids) and notate results in their notebook. Activity 09/05-09/08 Students will create a concept map on their new knowledge of biomolecules. |
