*We can distinguish
among the structure
and function of the four
major organic
macromolecules found
in living things.
*Prior knowledge(students have made
voc. notecards) connect
classes of macromolecules to foods we
eat.
Discuss Friday’s test.
Introduce
“Macromolecule
Mania” project.
Engagement: Crash
Course video. Lecture
on the importance of
carbon and introduce
the first organic
molecule:
carbohydrates.
-Crash course video
-Distribute rubric for
PBL Macromolecule
Mania.
-White board notes.
DBP- What is the
function of carbohydrates
in plants and animals?
*We can distinguish
among the structure
and function of the four
major organic molecules
found in living things.
D.B.P.- What are the
major functions of
lipids?
*We can distinguish
among the structure
and function of the
four major organic
molecules found in
living things.
DBP- What are the
major functions of
proteins?
* We can design a
graphic organizer that
compares proteins,
carbohydrates, lipids,
and nucleic acids.
DBP- What is the function
of nucleic acids?
*We can conduct tests to
detect the presence of
proteins, carbohydrates,
and lipids.
-After carb quiz,
introduce lipids.
-White board lipid notes.
-Allow groups to discuss
project and brainstorm
ideas.
-Each group will submit
an outline for their
project.
- After lipid quiz,
introduce proteins.
-White board notes on
proteins and enzymes.
-After protein quiz,
introduce nucleic acids.
-White board notes on
nucleic acids, the last
macromolecule.
-Construct a model of
DNA. (Have your DNA
and eat it, too!)
- Allow time for groups
to discuss project.
-Nucleic acid quiz.
-“Hoover Labs” activity.
Testing “urine” for the
presence of
macromolecules.
-White board notes.
-Pairs organize ideas and
submit outline for
Macromolecule Mania
project.
Independent practice:
Enzyme handouts.
Check for
understanding as
students work
independently.
Lab equipment: test tubes,
4 unknown “patient
samples”, micro pipettes,
iodine, Benedict’s solution,
biuret solution, paper bags.
-lab handout
Have students develop
quiz questions for
Tuesday’s carb quiz.
Check for understanding:
Have students develop
questions for lipid quiz.
Check for
understanding: Have
students develop
questions for protein
quiz.
Carb Quiz tomorrow!
Lipid Quiz tomorrow!
Protein Quiz
tomorrow!
-Group practice:
distribute characteristics
and have students group
in “4 corners” based on
which macromolecule
their characteristic
matches.
Independent practice:
Create graphic organizer
of the four
macromolecules.
Have students develop
nucleic acid quiz
questions.
Nucleic acid quiz
tomorrow!
Lab tomorrow.
Vocab cards due
tomorrow.
Thursday
Friday
Completion of lab. Record
results of testing unknowns
in the provided chart.
Answer analysis questions.
Lab: 100 points
Project Due Monday!
