We will complete our powerpoint discussion on the characteristics of the biomolecules of life, namely, nucleic acids. Furthermore, we will reinforce the four organic groups, namely, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids through a series of questions on a study … Continue reading →

We will review our results on the polarity lab, and then we will work on making a Frayer model for the first set of eight new vocabulary terms that are an integral part of the molecules of life.

Students will pair up to demonstrate their understanding of how polarity occurs when organic compounds are mixed together by using cooking oil, ethanol, and tap water. In the remaining time, we shall complete the correction of the study guide, section … Continue reading →

Students are to solve problem #’s: 13a  & 13c on page 42; 15a & 15c on page 43. Students will demonstrate their understanding on the Promethean board on Monday by solving and explaining their work! Those students who want to challenge … Continue reading →

Students are to complete their study guide on carbon compounds that entails their comprehension of what an organic compound is versus an inorganic compound, be able to identify the four functional groups and explain their general functions, distinguish between a … Continue reading →

We will verify the Frayer’s models of the concepts and ideas that the students should have completed at home. Then we will distinguish between organic and inorganic compound and the importance of carbon bonding in biological molecules. Students will learn to … Continue reading →

Students will explore the biomolecules of life by elaborating upon them in terms of their explanations, examples, and their essential characteristics through the application of the Frayer Model. Furthermore, students will apply the think-pair-share strategy with another classmate.

Students will be evaluated upon the characteristics of living things, the scientific method, and the major functions of the three types of microscopes, namely, light compound microscope, scanning electron microscope, and transmission electron microscope.

Students will apply the strategy of two facts and a fib to review the main concepts and ideas that we have studied about the basic life activities, scientific method, and the components and functions of the compound light microscope. Furthermore, the … Continue reading →

Students are to complete their homework assignment by answering the following questions on page 26, #’s: 1, 2, 7, 13, 14, 15, 19, 21, 23, 27, 31. Also on page 27, do #’s: 1-7 (choose the appropriate answer) plus do … Continue reading →
