Primary Type: Lesson Plan Status: Published This is a resource from CPALMS (www.cpalms.org) where all educators go for bright ideas! Resource ID#: 127577 Meet Your Macromolecules This lesson teaches applied concepts associated with the four macromolecules: lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids. Subject(s): Science Grade Level(s): 9, 10, 11, 12 Intended Audience: Educators Suggested Technology: Computer for Presenter, Internet Connection, LCD Projector, Adobe Acrobat Reader Instructional Time: 2 Hour(s) Keywords: macromolecules, biological macrmolecules, biomolecules, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acid Resource Collection: FCR-STEMLearn Cell Biology ATTACHMENTS Food Party Slips.xlsx Name that macromolecule WS.pdf Macromolecule card sort.pdf Food Party Picture Cards.pdf LESSON CONTENT Lesson Plan Template: General Lesson Plan Learning Objectives: What should students know and be able to do as a result of this lesson? Students will compare and contrast the basic molecular structures of lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Students will compare and contrast the primary functions of lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Students will identify and explain examples of lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Prior Knowledge: What prior knowledge should students have for this lesson? Items may require the student to apply science knowledge described in the standards from lower grades. This benchmark requires prerequisite knowledge from SC.8.P.8.5 and SC.6.L.14.3. Guiding Questions: What are the guiding questions for this lesson? How are lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids used to meet the needs of living things? How is a protein's structure related to its function? Why would carbohydrates typically have less energy than lipids? How do the properties of each amino acid determine how a protein folds when it binds? Teaching Phase: How will the teacher present the concept or skill to students? Prezi presentation can be found at the link below: http://prezi.com/vj5ee96ce6p0/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy&rc=ex0share Guided Practice: What activities or exercises will the students complete with teacher guidance? page 1 of 3 Students will work in groups of 2-4 students to sort the structures, functions, and examples of macromolecules into different groups using the Macromolecule card sort.pdf. The teacher will facilitate and guide students as necessary. Teacher may want to have students ask another group for help before asking teacher. This reduces demand on teacher and encourages students to work together. Independent Practice: What activities or exercises will students complete to reinforce the concepts and skills developed in the lesson? Students will complete Name that macromolecule WS.pdf to reinforce concepts developed in the lesson. Closure: How will the teacher assist students in organizing the knowledge gained in the lesson? The teacher will have students complete 3-2-1 Marcomolecules.doc Students may work individually to to write 3 things they learned, 2 things they enjoyed about the lesson, and 1 question they still have. For students who deny hanving any further questions, they may write a quiz question on the lesson. These questions will allow the teacher to address any misconceptions that were missed. If time permits, the teacher may use these questions in a quick review game or they may be saved for a later review session. Summative Assessment There is a short quiz at the end of the Prezi that may be used at the end of the lesson. Teachers may also choose to give their own exam upon completion of the lesson. Formative Assessment Food party: Students pull a type of food from a bag. They are responsible for identifying the types of macromolecule in the food item. For example, a student may pull a card that has a picture of pepperoni pizza. This student may say the pizza dough is made of carbohydrates. This student will need to identify and explain that pepperoni pizza also contains protein, nucleic acids, and lipids. This student will then explain that the pepperoni contains fats and oils which are lipids. He/she may explain that the pepperoni was once living and therefore contains nucleic acids. They may also explain that there were nucleic acids in the dough as well, since it was made from wheat which was also once living. Feedback to Students Students will receive feedback throughout the lesson. They may answer questions embedded in the Prezi to assess their understanding of concepts during the lecture. Students will also be able to demonstrate their understanding of the types and examples of macromolecules during the food party. The teacher will be able to determine the level of mastery from the student based on the explanations the student gives and the amount of prompting required from the teacher and/or other students. ACCOMMODATIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS Accommodations: Some students may need accomodations such as extended time, guided notes instead of writing their own notes, etc. These may be used as needed. Students may also spend more time working in small groups if necessary. Extensions: Food party: Students pull a type of macromolecule from a bag (Food Party Slips.xlsx). They are responsible for bringing the item to class on a designated day, along with where their macromolecule can be found in the item. For example, a student may pull a card that says carbohydrate. This student may bring in a pepperoni pizza. This student will need to identify and explain that pepperoni pizza also contains protein, nucleic acids, and lipids. This student will then explain that the pepperoni contains fats and oils which are lipids. He/she may explain that the pepperoni was once living and therefore contains nucleic acids. They may also explain that there were nucleic acids in the dough as well, since it was made from wheat which was also once living. Suggested Technology: Computer for Presenter, Internet Connection, LCD Projector, Adobe Acrobat Reader Special Materials Needed: scissors, small bag Further Recommendations: Teacher will need access to printer and copier to make copies for students. Documents are saved as PDF for accessibility on all computers.
