WEEKLY OBJECTIVES: STUDENTS WILL WORK WITH MODELS TO SEE HOW THE STRUCTURE OF BIOLOGIC MOLECULES DETERMINES THEIR FUNCTION IN LIVING ORGANISMS. STUDENTS WILL BUILD MODELS OF BIOMOLECULES AND DESCRIBE THEIR DIFFERENCES.
Monday - Lecture on the structure of the water molecule and how that structure allows water to have many of the properties that make life possible on this planet. Reading guide 6.2 assigned. Complete pH lab and hand in.
Tuesday - Lecture on organic chemistry and the elements present in the four biomolecules of life. Comparison of carbohydrates and lipids; how their structure determines their function. Vocabulary 6.2 and 6.3 as homework.
Wednesday - Model building: Carbohydrates and Lipids
Thursday - Lecture on the structure and importance of proteins.
Continue model building: amino acids and peptide bonds make proteins. Reading guide 6.3 assigned, due Friday or Monday.
Friday - Half-day: 1st hour only: Enzyme lab
