Go to the link above, click on “run
now” and click on “game.” Pick
level 1 or 2. Red= protons, gray=
neutrons, blue= electrons. Fill out
the boxes while you play.
Analyze an electrolyte drink for ions
using nutrition label. Fill out
organizer and explain the important
function of three ions. Create a
visual representation (poster/ ad).
You will present at the end of class
on Tuesday, August 21st.
Go to the link above, click on “run now”
and click on “game.” Pick level 2 or 3.
Red= protons, gray= neutrons, blue=
electrons. Fill out the boxes while you
play.
Imagine a body without 3 essential ions.
Which ions do you pick and what effects
would occur? Create a multimedia
presentation (Powerpoint or
Prezi)/poster/ or poem or work with
others people and create a skit to be
performed toward the end of class on
Tuesday, August 21st.
Go to the link above, click on “run now”
and click on “game.” Pick level 3 or 4.
Red= protons, gray= neutrons, blue=
electrons. Fill out the boxes while you
play.
Be the doctor: Imagine your patient is
in danger of being deficient of 2 ions.
What are the effects and what would
you need to do to treat your ion
deficiencies? (other than direct ion
replacement pill). Come up with a
clever way to alarm your patient and
give advice (make a skit, presentation,
write a “doctor’s note” letter)
Elements of Life Book Work: Use
sentence starters to research the
chemistry of proteins, lipids, and
carbohydrates. Figure out which
elements are common in these life
building blocks. (building blocks of
life) Use page 45-48 to help.
Elements of Life: In addition to using
the book, pages 45-48, also use the
internet to research the chemistry of
proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates.
Figure out which elements are common
in these life building blocks.

Now, create a poster to persuade why it is important to buy this drink because of the ion function.
c) Discovery Level: Elements of life- Use the following sentence starters to help you find research and fill in the organizer below.. The words in the blank
should be the key words (protein, lipid, carbohydrate)
a. What is a _______________? Why are ________________ important?
b. What is an example of a ________________? What foods are examples of __________________?
c. What is the general chemical formula or chemical structure for a _________________?
d. What four elements are the most common to life?
c) Explore/Expand Level: Elements of life
Take notes on information you find out about proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and sugars. Look up things like the definition, function, and chemical structure
and any interesting facts. Feel free to draw pictures as well. In the bottom box, write down which elements you notice seem to be the most common to all
four building blocks of life. If you are doing the expand level, also take notes nucleic acids and amino acids to identify the additional common elements.
Carbohydrates Notes:
Lipid Notes:
The four most common elements to life based on my research are:
Nucleic acids (expand level only):
Amino acids (expand level only):
One more important element in both nucleic acids and amino acids are:
