Science Classroom Connection

As the moment of truth ensues, students will be evaluated upon Chapter 3, Biochemistry, in terms of  the biomolecules of life, namely, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids as well as the general characteristics of carbon compounds.

Now that the students have completed their jeopardy game setup,  the competition will commence as each group will attempt to stump the other groups as each group will have the opportunity to earn points (one point per question) for its side.

Students will work in groups of four to devise five answers on each of the assigned categories on the biomolecules of life. The categories are carbon compounds, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Then a competition will commence as each group will attempt to stump the other groups as each group will have the opportunity to earn points (one point per question) for its side.

To prepare for our chapter test, students are to answer the following questions in their notebook from page 62: 2, 3, 7, 9, 15, 17, 23, 27, 28, & 29. Also answer page 63: 1-8 plus the short response.

We will review our lab from last week on analyzing the organic compounds, namely, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids that are found in our food products. Moreover, students will formulate a concept map that is based upon these organic compounds and do a brief assessment on these biomolecules to determine how well the subject matter has been learned over the past week.
